ctrl-alt-rees | 2006's Best Selling Camcorder - Pure Digital Flip Video Story, Unboxing, Test & Teardown @ctrlaltrees | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
YouTube was a very different place back in 2006 - this user-created video sharing tech startup had only been around for a year and was making big waves, leading to its acquisition by Google. But what camera were people using in the pre-smartphone era? How did it come to be? Was it really disposable!?
In this video I take a look at the Pure Digital Flip Video, Amazon's best selling camcorder of 2007. We'll unbox it, hear the story behind it, see what the video and audio were like and even tear it down to see what's inside.
