Per our last blog post, we answered the question on whether or not a Video Marketing video needed to be done professionally or not. Here at Turbo Social Media we use the Flip Cam. The Flip Cam is the new technology in digital cameras, as it is an easy to use, cell-phone sized camera, with a built in USB port. There are a couple downsides to the camera, as it does not have a built in microphone jack, the zoom is pretty awful and if you are going to use it, you almost MUST have a tripod as the slightest movements shake the entire screen.
Aside from those couple pitfalls, we still use the Flip for a couple reasons: It is beyond easy to use (as easy as any digital camera), it is lightweight, it’s inexpensive (30 min Flip Ultra for as low as $50 on Amazon.com), makes good quality videos, and most importantly, it is extremely easy to upload videos. The Flip has a built in USB jack that you plug directly into your computer. From there you can bring up the Flip program and name and save your videos without any hassle. You can even pause the video and take snapshots for photos as well.
Video Marketing is a great way to create buzz around your product. The Flip cam has just made this easier, as now anyone can shoot a video and get it online.
