Part Three: Tips for Flip Video Camera
Many of you might have owned flip videos for a while, but there are still some flip video tips that you don’t know yet. The following are some flip video tips we would like to share:

Tip 1: Make sure you speak closer to the Flip Video when you do the shooting if you are also recording your voice. Try to shoot in not very noisy surroundings. If you do, you will have to expect your own voice to be drowned out by the noisy background.

Tip 2: If you want to get a clear video of what you are shooting, try to shoot closer to the subject. You can use the Zoom function to zoom in for a better shot.

Tip 3: Hold the flip video steady when you shoot your video and try to avoid jerky movements.

Tip 4: When you shoot in the sunlight, make sure the light is on your back and do not face the lens to the sunlight. Having a lot of light is necessary while you are shooting, otherwise, your flip videos may look grainy and blurry.

Tip 5: Although a tripod helps a lot when you want to make steady videos (for example interview videos), but when you don’t have a tripod, you can set your flip camera on a flat surface. If you have to use your hand, make sure you hold your arms close to your rips to stabilize the Flip Video.
