**My Experience with the Clippy Camera**

I've been wanting to get my hands on a small wearable camera for a very long time, and I finally did this one's called the Clippy II. It's from Asia, tiny, and a lot of fun. So, let's dive right in.

The Clippy II is a small wearable camera that shoots HD video. It's not unlike the Narrative Clip or Snap Cam. The big idea behind it is that you can clip it on to your clothes or jacket or bag and let it capture what you're experiencing hands-free. I'm personally really interested in this premise because it seems like a great way to do more first-hand living rather than just experiencing events through your photos or videos later on.

The Clippy II is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but still large enough that people will definitely notice it when you're wearing it. True to its name, there's a clip on the back that lets you attach it to your stuff. It can be a little tricky knowing which side is up, but the side with the power button is actually the top. Other than that power button, there are two other buttons - one for switching shooting modes between video, time-lapse, slo-mo, or photo, and one for entering pairing or syncing mode.

Since the Clippy II comes with its own app on the side, you'll also find a mic and a mini USB port. One interesting thing about the Clippy II is that you can skin it with some included stickers. Personally, I could care less about those and don't really love any of the designs. I really like the plain white look of the clip II right out of the box.

In terms of build quality, the Clippy II actually feels really solid. It doesn't feel cheap, and it seems like something that could last for quite a while. That said, I wouldn't recommend dropping it on a hard surface because you could definitely scuff it up. Using the Clippy II is an interesting experience this is a camera you'd want to use to experience something without having to dig around for your phone.

I think it would be really cool to have a camera that you can attach to your clothes or jacket, and it's not just about capturing moments - it's also about experiencing them in real-time. The Clippy II comes with an attachment option that will let you mount it on a tripod or a gorilla pod, which is actually quite useful.

**The Camera's Performance**

Your phone is almost certainly going to take better photos and video, probably by a long shot. Images tend to be very noisy, and I've seen some prominent issues with exposure while shooting videos. The picture snaps back and forth between light and dark with no gradation, almost like the censors are kind of confused. Even indoors, I've picked up some distortion on fast-moving objects.

Time-lapses seem to look pretty decent, though. But I'm kind of disappointed that the slow-mo only works in 720p without a doubt Clippy's footage looks the best when the camera is stationary otherwise shots just aren't very smooth. Again, this camera is all about capturing moments that you otherwise would and in that context, yeah it's useful.

I definitely see a role for this camera to play, particularly with students who may want to capture their daily experiences or adventures. I also think this would be a killer camera to take with you on a vacation.

**The App**

The Clippy app is pretty basic but well-designed there's no clutter or bloatware. There are a few gripes, though - I don't love how you have to connect to the Clippy via Wi-Fi every time you want to use it with the app turning on the Wi-Fi mode and connecting to Clippy's network gets a little bit old.

You don't have to connect to the app to use Clippy, you can just hit record and check out the footage later. But it is nice to see a preview of what you're shooting. Speaking of the preview function, it tends to be a bit choppy but it does get the job done which reminds me - Clippy has another cool feature: live video broadcasting.

The app lets you see what you've already shot and switch between modes. You can also share your content directly from the app, but if you've got a lot of content to transfer from Clippy, you'd be much better off hooking it up to your computer for a faster transfer. Otherwise, sharing can be almost painfully slow.

**Conclusion**

This is a fun little camera that costs $130 and if it sounds like something that you'd be interested in, I definitely recommend checking it out.
