Can a Flip Ultra HD owner help me out?

I need to find out what disk format the Flip uses to store it's data.

If someone could do a Get Info on the mounted Flip camera:
1. Plug the Flip camera into the Mac
2. Right click the FLIPVIDEO drive icon on the Desktop
3. Click 'Get Info'
4. Look in the window that opens, under 'General' >> 'Format:'

Could you reply with the info on that line?

I'm trying to figure out if it will work with a USB transfer product like this: http://is.gd/1jbIi (which only works with FAT12/16/32) - it would be great for travelling, have a big USB thumbdrive and use the transfer device to backup the Flip and keep on shooting.

Thanks!

Found the info for the Flip Mino HD, it's: "MS-DOS FAT32", I imagine the UltraHD will be the same.

So those USB transfer products should work, http://www.simaproducts.com/products/product_detail.php?product_id=592 or http://www.keene.co.uk/electronic/vivanco/otg-usb-to-usb-copy-bridge-no-pc-needed/USBOTG.html
