This is a great, small, easy to carry accessory that charges the Flip faster than using a USB port on a computer. Works wonderfully for charging my iTouch also.

I realized soon after getting my flip HD that I can find so much to shoot that I burn up a battery pack and need to recharge it and that sometimes it's most convenient to recharge it via a wall outlet rather than a computer. Here are some examples,,,
We went on a week long cruise and I had no computer access but I could recharge with this because there were electrical outlets everywhere.
I was shooting a wedding reception for a friend and forgot to recharge before leaving but by the time the wedding was over I grabbed my fully charged unit where I plugged it into the church wall behind a table and I was ready to shoot the full reception without losing any power.
We went to Myrtle Beach and stayed in a friend's condo. No computer there to recharge but I just popped in my camcorder at night before going to sleep and it was always ready to shoot in the morning.
I have even found outlets at the airport (near soda fountains and vending machines) in a pinch.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that my camera runs out of juice easily, it is, instead, that the cameras owner forgets to recharge it as often as I should.
Negatives: Wish this was made so I could just stick my spare battery pack into it rather than having to plug the actual camcorder into it but I suppose most don't have spare battery packs so that is no big deal. However it would be nice if it somehow left open the option to do both so that I could keep shooting while it charges
it is really lightweight and has,so far, worked perfectly for me.

Definitely going to need to charge this thing since there isn't a lot of battery life when charged. I'm glad I got it.

For the regular flip, this cannot be plugged into a wall outlet and have the flip attached directly as the pressure would not be good on the usb adapter. Plus the flips info display is against the all.
By Robert V. Greene
Adapter caused the camera to "over heat" or stop charging.
However, my main concern is, why bother to get this gadget at all?
Charge with a usb connection when you can and, when no usb port is available, just use regular AA batteries!
Adapters, over-heating, errors, possible damage, another country......it ain't worth it.
