Install A Wrist Strap On My Flip Ultra

Flip Ultra camcorders, a Cisco Systems product, came onto the market in September 2007 as an upgrade to the more basic Flip Videos. More compact than the average camcorder, Flip Ultras allow use with one hand. Shooting a video on a Flip Ultra is similar to capturing video with a cell phone. The Flip looks like an overgrown cell phone. Installing the wrist strap onto the camera helps avoid damage if the Flip Ultra slips from the user's grip. Made from wire, metal and flexible plastic, the strap will fit almost any wrist.


Instructions


1. Open the Flip Ultra box and remove the packaging layer that holds the camera. Look for the wrist strap, which will be in a small, clear plastic bag.


2. Remove the wrist strap from its bag and discard the silica packet.


3. Place the Flip Ultra on its side so the power button faces up. The wrist strap installation site is located below the power button.








4. Pass the small loop of the strap underneath the bar in the middle of the installation site. Once it's through the bar, insert the large loop through the small loop and pull until the small loop passes over the metal section.








5. Slip the large loop over the wrist and hold the camera in the same hand to use.
