| I PURCHASED THE FLIP VIDEO POWER ADAPTER TO GO ALONG WITH MY FLIP VIDEO CAMCORDER. I WANTED IT IN CASE I'M NOT NEAR A COMPUTER AND MY FLIP VIDEO CAMCORDER NEEDS MORE CHARGING. THE COMPUTER METHOD IS FASTER BUT THE POWER ADAPTER SUITS MY NEEDS. |
A must for my flip camcorder

I realized soon after getting my flip HD that I can find so much to shoot that I burn up a battery pack and need to recharge it and that sometimes it's most convenient to recharge it via a wall outlet rather than a computer. Here are some examples,,,
We went on a week long cruise and I had no computer access but I could recharge with this because there were electrical outlets everywhere.
I was shooting a wedding reception for a friend and forgot to recharge before leaving but by the time the wedding was over I grabbed my fully charged unit where I plugged it into the church wall behind a table and I was ready to shoot the full reception without losing any power.
We went to Myrtle Beach and stayed in a friend's condo. No computer there to recharge but I just popped in my camcorder at night before going to sleep and it was always ready to shoot in the morning.
I have even found outlets at the airport (near soda fountains and vending machines) in a pinch.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that my camera runs out of juice easily, it is, instead, that the cameras owner forgets to recharge it as often as I should.
Negatives: Wish this was made so I could just stick my spare battery pack into it rather than having to plug the actual camcorder into it but I suppose most don't have spare battery packs so that is no big deal. However it would be nice if it somehow left open the option to do both so that I could keep shooting while it charges
it is really lightweight and has,so far, worked perfectly for me. |
works great - no cords to mess with

| I use this with the rechargeable batts. Love it. Does not get really hot like other plugs might. The flip kinda hangs there and looks like it will fall - so I just prop a book under the flip when using on a wall outlet. Works fine on a power strip without propping. LOVE IT!! I own 2 flips and this plus the rechargeable batteries are awesome!!! The other thing I like is I can throw this in my purse and go - no cords. |
GOOD TO HAVE

| Great to have on a recent trip to Germany. Found out after the fact my laptop (3 prong) wouldn't fit in the adapter/converter (2 prong) we brought, so the FLIP couldn't be charged via the laptop. LUCKILY I had purchased this wall charger and it DID fit in the adapter/converter and I could charge the FLIP successfully. Already it paid for itself. |
Perfect

| This pint sized charger is perfect for my needs as I'd need to be an acrobat to get behind my computer to charge my mino. |
