Flip Video Camcorder = New BFF
The Flip video camcorder doesn’t just have to be for birthday parties and vacations. I’m finding more and more people using them very practically in their day-to-day jobs.
Exhibit A:
Author and marketing strategist, David Meerman Scott, blogs at Web Ink Now. He uses his Flip video camcorder to film video with industry experts and highlights from his many speaking engagements.
Roxie Merritt Director of New Media Operations, U.S. Department of Defense
Exhibit B:
Huffington Post blogger and serial entrepreneur, Patricia Handschiegel, and co-creator/entrepreneur Meghan Cleary has the Flip video camcorder in their very fashionable “toolkit” as well. One of their projects, NPG.com, uses The Flip to share video interviews of tech savvy and successful business women.
“We deliberately shot the series on Flip cameras to first encourage our audience to play with video, and also because we feel there is an increasing place for cameras of this type in business and wanted to show an example of how to use the Flip in this type of format,” Patricia told me in a recent conversation. Check out every episode here.

Those are a few examples of why The Flip is an empowering device and super handy. You don’t need to have a production company behind you to get your name, face and personality in front of the millions of people on the social web. On the other hand, it can be very helpful as a record keeping and sharing device for notes or a briefing.

The Flip has become my new BFF or perhaps my favorite coworker, accompanying me to many a video shoot. As a video blogger, an easy-to-use, pocket-sized camera with great image quality is a true friend.
Have a look at an interview I did recently using my Flip. (The camera pointed at me is the Flip.)
