Use a Flip Video Recorder
Flip video cameras are fun and easy to use. The Flip is an easy-to-transport, lightweight alternative to more traditional video camcorders. It works with very few steps, and you do not have to be technologically savvy in order to use one. The Flip also allows you to watch your videos on TV, as well as your computer. You do need a computer to use the Flip as this is how the camera is charged. A computer is needed to use the Flip software for editing and saving your videos as well.
