About
what is flip a hit?
Flip a Hit is an easy & affordable alternative to traditional videography services for weddings & events. You can capture every moment from the rehearsal to the reception through the eyes of those who care about you most.
Several days before your wedding, you will receive a care package that will include our HD video cameras and a bunch of other goodies (including tips & tricks from our pro's) to help ensure that your experience is simple & successful.
Now armed with our high quality, pocket-sized HD video cameras, your friends & family help film not only one of the biggest days of their life, but the days leading up to it and after it. They'll have a blast! It's easy, fun and enables you to not only capture the classic moments of an event, but the candid, intimate, funny & behind- the-scenes moments that are often missed by traditional videographers.
After the event, simply return the cameras and we'll upload the footage and create a professionally edited video. Your story will not only be preserved forever but can be shared online at your discretion thru our website or your favorite social media website. Flipahit.com is all-inclusive, so you won't have to worry about paying for anything out-of-pocket such as postage or online hosting.

Reviews of Flip a Hit
I was happy with the highlight reel, which was a professionally edited 3-minute clip made from the footage we captured and set to our wedding song. To me, however, the highlight reel was icing on the cake- what I really wanted this for was to have the raw footage & pictures that our friends took during my wedding weekend. (I know that Flip a Hit will return the raw footage to me, but I made sure to copy the data to my PC before sending the cameras back to them so that I wouldn't have to wait to see it.)
I notice from other reviews that there have been issues with responsiveness and delivery timing in the past. Flip a Hit must have taken action on this feedback and made improvements- they were very responsive to me, and they worked with me to make sure that the cameras were delivered before we checked into the hotel several days before the wedding.
Overall, I recommend Flip a Hit as a cost-effective and fun way to get some very personal pictures and video from your wedding weekend.
Definitely a great vendor.
After my wedding, some of the chargers and tripod that came with the rental were misplaced and ended up with supplies for our photobooth, and so I was charged a fee for losing them. When I found them, I emailed Kristy and was issued a check for a full refund. Kristy was very communicative over the course of more than 6 months! She helped me with every step, and was very gracious and understanding of the loss of the equipment but open about the charges and refunds given.
I would not hesitate to recommend Flip A Hit to anyone planning a wedding who cannot afford a true videographer, or even in addition to one, since so much is captured that would otherwise be missing!!
We got the cameras extremely close to the wedding (the day before) and I wasn't thrilled about that either. I could have sworn they said we were going to get them 5 days prior, but that didn't happen, so perhaps I am wrong about the 5 day thing. I did email them asking for a tracking number 2 days before the wedding because I was wondering where the cameras were, and never ever got a response. I was about to call them when my mom got them in the mail on Friday.
Also, we have to have them in the mail today (monday) to avoid fees. I wish they gave a few more days for you to get the cameras back. The wedding was Saturday, the post office isn't open on Sunday, and getting them back on Monday could be tough for some people. Luckily we didn't go straight on our honey moon so we can get them back today without a problem, but just having the extra time would be nice because we're busy returning tuxes, writing thank you notes, and have to make sure we get to the post office before 5pm to avoid fees.
The good things, if you can get a groupon for them, it's a great value. We got 5 cameras which were SUPER easy to use. We had someone tape the ceremony and put the rest of the cameras out for the reception and we saw a ton of people use them. Hopefully we get a good video from them.
The night before the rehearsal, I suddenly realized the cameras had not arrived. I emailed my contact and asked what the status was. She said they were on their way and would arrive the next day — the day before the wedding. They came just as left for the rehearsal... which didn't leave us much time to make sure they were in working order. Luckily they were — but we had some problems with them during the event. The company says the cameras are "pocket sized" but they are actually much smaller. We gave one to my brother to wear during the ceremony and it fell down into his jacket pocket, so no video there. My dad was able to make a sort of shelf in his jacket pocket using safety pins (classy, huh?) but it still wiggled around, so not sure if that one turned out either. It was also a little difficult to tell whether they were recording or just turned on.
It took a month to get a link to our highlight reel. It turned out better than expected, though I found it jarring that it kept jumping around rather than going in chronological order. I also wish there were sound bites (eg, during ceremony & toasts)... hoping there is some in the raw footage. We were supposed to get a DVD with all the footage within 2 weeks. A month later, I emailed to find out what the holdup was, and the rep said they were extremely busy, but that our DVD would be mailed by the end of the week. It wasn't that big a deal, but it bugged me that they couldn't send out a quick update. Still haven't gotten it but we'll see...
Long story short – Flip a Hit is a good service, but not worth paying full price for. Don't expect videographer quality or an audio record of your vows, and prepare to do some waiting.
