We have a lovely new pre Christmas product test for you - Flip Video have asked us to find 11 of you who would like to road test their video cameras and to add feedback on Mumsnet.
Flip Video are looking for a range of UK Mumsnetters for this - from those who've never used a video camera, those who are maybe considering updating their old video cameras and those who are more proficient film makers.
Flip say: "Flip Video is a fun, easy-to-use pocket camcorder. Flip Video makes it incredibly quick and simple to shoot high-quality videos, then share those moments by plugging the camera directly into your computer. Flip is small enough to fit in your pocket, which means that you can take it everywhere you and your family go, making it the perfect way to capture those mustn't-forget moments".
There are two cameras available for testing. Here's what Flip say about them:
~ "The Flip UltraHD is even slimmer than before, using three AAA batteries in a rechargeable pack (which comes with every UltraHD). As with previous models, the new Flip UltraHD charges automatically when plugged into a computer but, if you run out of juice when you're out and about, simply replace with regular AAA batteries". RRP £160. We have 6 of these to try
~ "The super-sleek Flip MinoHD, which features an in-built rechargeable battery pack, is even smaller than the Flip UltraHD and has one hour of recording memory. Simply slip it into your pocket or changing bag and away you go!" RRP £150. We have 5 of these to try
If you are selected for the product test all we ask is that you try the camera for a couple of weeks and then add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet. We'd love you to use the cameras to record all those lovely pre Christmas moments - the children visiting Father Christmas, seeing the Christmas lights, visiting the Panto or even you wrapping the presents! We'd also need you to share the film with other people - the cameras feature 'FlipShare' software which enables you to send attachment free emails or upload directly to Facebook or YouTube. Of course these films are private for you and your family and friends but we would like you to write about how this process worked for you. The feedback will focus on both the use of the camera and how it was to share the film with other family members or friends.
As an additional element to the feedback we'll be asking the testers to select their favourite 1 minute clip for Flip Video and send in the link for possible inclusion on the Flip hub on Mumsnet - coming soon! If you already have a Flip Video camera you can also enter your best clip - please look out for the feedback thread for all details. The makers of the 3 best films selected will receive a £50 Amazon voucher.
Everyone who is part of the test and who adds feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one lucky winner will win a £50 Amazon voucher. In addition, you will be able to keep the camera 
If you would like to take part in this project please add your details here.
Thanks and good luck.

Oh, odd, I thought I had posted again to say I'd signed up ... anyway. Have done it.
Wondering now if I've posted "Done" randomly at the end of another thread 
I have found that the second `i get the video camera out one or both of my children announces they need a poo...
I've tried the link a few times and it's not working for me at the moment. :( Will try again in the morning!
Would be cool to get my hands on a camera. I studied Broadcast TV for my degree, but I ended up in a career where I've not had a chance to use those skills and I haven't been able to justify the money to get myself a video camera for home use.
So if you're looking for someone with previous filming/editing experience to have a go, pick me!
OOOOOH just realised you keep the camera .......I can make chocolate brownie cake mumsnet towers 
Done, another one here with a DD film producer in the making, this would make her day!
Done, hope I get picked! i've only been picked for one - the Cuticura one 
I love filming stuff, but haven't got a decent camera so have to use the digital one, which is less than ideal!
