Charles –

I am the Communications Director at a large church and was hoping to take advantage of this deal through TechSoup however it isn’t available to religious non profits. Is there anything similar to this that I would be able to take care of? I was hoping to buy 2 of the 5 packs in order to document missions work around the world that our teams go do.

Thanks for your reply, encouraging! We have volunteer partners in the US, but they are not registered, only we are in Hong Kong. Whether or not you manage to extend this worldwide, just want to say a big thank you on behalf of those NPO’s that get the cameras – I am sure they will make a huge differece to a lot of people. Well done CISCO.

Currently we only have the gifting program in the US and Canada but are exploring opportunities to expand it internationally. We understand the demand, and will keep working on this. In the meantime, if they are registered in the US, possibly they could have someone in the US order them, and handle distribution themselves.

What a wonderful, generous, idea! I’d love you to make an exception for outside the U.S. and Canada too. We could do SOOOO much with a flip video and our New Zealand-based umbrella organisation is registered as a non-profit in the US. Please consider us? Thanks, Marian

Charmaine, offerings through TechSoup won’t necessarily be found on the web site.

The problem with HD cameras is that Movie-Maker, the most grassroots video editing software along with iMovie on the Mac, can’t handle the high definition files that come out of these cameras.

I also know that, unless my news is out of date, Cisco has discontinued production of the FlipVideos, despite their worldwide popularity. So…..are we having a fire sale?

Just noticed this is limited to U.S. and Canada. Any possibility you can make an exception? We offer video and photography to small non-profits and grassroots community groups – both in Hong Kong and globally. We are frequently forced to abandon great non-profit stories from groups overseas because we cant afford to hire a local cameraman and the group does not even have an adequate phone-camera. A flip would be a God-send in these cases. Ridealist is a legally registered society based in Hong Kong. All our productions are conducted on a pro-bono, volunteer basis. Obviously we’d be honoured and delighted to credit Cisco and TechSoup on any video if you can make this happen. Thankyou!
