These very small high definition video cameras are a lot of fun and do a great job shooting high quality movies. We often have the most current video cameras from Flip Video in our lab, and the current roster includes a Flip Ultra HD and a Mino HD here.

Times have changed and so has technology, thank goodness! Today you can buy a very small, very sleek camcorder and housing, along with lighting for well under a thousand dollars!

And, of course, who even has a VCR anymore (or would want to use one)? You'd spend endless hours editing the tapes, putting them together, choosing music, adding the music to your videos, then copying them on to video cassette tapes. You'd have to spend hours looking at the tapes, marking the number on the counter, rewind and play again to double check your numbers were accurate. I spent well over two thousand dollars for a used system and I that didn't even include lights! Those were the days of Hi8 video where you had to use expensive systems to edit your footage, and because of tension on the tape your edits and cuts might or might not be very accurate. It's been almost two decades since I bought my first underwater video system. How often have you wished you had a camcorder with you to record your experiences only to be turned off by the bulk of the equipment or the cost? It doesn't have to be that way, not if you use one of those handy Flip video cameras and a reliable underwater housing/strobe combo like what Ikelite makes for the Flip.
