What’s the point of growing and maintaining beautiful roses if you don’t have anyone to share them with? With today’s technology, you can go way past digital photos of your roses. Why not make a video of your roses that you can easily share with friends and family. You can even upload a video of your rose club’s exhibition to YouTube for the whole world to see!
Today’s Flip MinoHD and Flip UltraHD camcorders make creating a video scrapbook of your roses a snap. These mini camcorders are so thin and small that they can slip right into your purse or pants pocket. Operation is simple, and the buttons are now touch sensitive, like the registers at the store. The video quality is excellent, with vibrant colors and little motion blur. And all the video is HD.
For most camcorders filming is easy enough but uploading your uploading you video can be a challenge. That is definitely not the case Pure Digital’s Flip mini camcorders. The video files are compatible with software for all computers, including Mac’s. There is a flip out USB arm that plugs directly into your computer and makes uploading, emailing, editing and organizing your videos a breeze.
These mini camcorders are very affordable, between $70-$210. The high definition (HD) cameras are a bit more expensive than the standard models, but all of the Flip cameras are very affordable, costing between $70-$210. Although it’s a good idea to shop around for the best prices, the discounts at Amazon are worth checking out — and so are the reviews. I bought the original Flip video camera at Amazon, and it still works just fine. But I must admit I’m tempted by the newer models.
But the usefulness of the Flip mini camcorders certainly outweighs the cost. Did you find on insect on your rose that you can’t identify? Just make a video of the culprit and send to your friend in your rose club who can help identify the insect. Want to share a particularly lovely arrangement of roses with a friend far away. Your problem can now solved with the touch of a button and a quick email.
If you don’t have a camcorder, take some time to check out the Flip series. It may be just the thing you need to document and share your roses online.
