What I like best about the Flip Mino HD is that it is as simple and convenient as I can imagine to take excellent HD video. Carrying it around is easy. Turning it on, pointing, and clicking to start taking video is easy. Charging it is easy (just flip out the USB plug and stick it into the USB port on any PC - no cables to hassle or lose). Transferring the videos you take to your PC is easy (same as charging it). It even takes great video with great sound in most average or even dim light conditions. It even has a tripod mount on the bottom, and I'd recommend using it when possible, because with HD, high quality video, jitter is more noticeable. The price of simplicity is, of course, that it lacks bells and whistles. No optical zoom. No fancy effects. No titling. No stereo sound. No big deal, if you ask me, unless you're doing professional shots. So if you don't mind giving up advanced features in exchange for simple, great video from an inexpensive, convenient package you can keep in your pocket (just keep it in the nice protective velvet sleeve it comes with), I heartily recommend the Flip Mino HD. I use it more often than my more expensive camcorder, and I suspect you will too.Read full review
This sleek little gadget is perfect for capturing HD quality video anywhere but underwater. I've taken it to a few concerts to record things. Opposed to a cell phone or digital camera video, the sound is FAR less distorted. Have you ever gotten great video but garbled sound because of too much bass, crowd noise, etc.? This is the answer. About the size of a cell phone, it's discreet enough to carry in your pocket. It does have a tell tale red light just as any other recording device. I love the fact that it charges via USB port. Granted it takes about 3 hours to charge for only one hour of recordable footage which seems odd, but I'm willing to look past. At times it's as if it recharges itself. I've used almost half my time in one spell, came back a few hours later, and had 3/4ths battery life. Cool! Easy as cake to use. File lock so you don't accidentally erase any good moments. Very nice safety feature. Software is inside the cam, no CD/DVD install to fuss with. It's like a little best friend that remembers everything for you. I haven't bothered to plug it directly into my TV or burn any video to DVD yet. I also haven't read the instruction manual. I'm a typical guy. Don't let that hold you back from enjoying this item.Read full review
Very easy to use. I bought it for my 8yr old. Out of all the Flip camcorders, a rechargeable battery is a must have!! I think the Mino and the UltraHD are the only ones with rechargeable batteries. We tried a Flip that was a 30 min camcorder and the batteries were used up in 2 uses. This model is 60 min which seems to be plenty of time. It's expecially great for the spare of the moment thing. Those videos are more fun to watch too. One drawback is that there is no light to use at night. It does however do ok in low light, but works best in natural light. We also tried the Sony Webbie and I feel this Flip has a better quality picture. The Flip also has software built in that you can take a snapshot from the video. The pic is not great quality, but nonetheless it's nice to have that option and it's fine for the internet.Read full review
I bought this cam-corder on the recommendation of a friend and i was not disappointed. Super easy to use, great picture quality, very portable, fast star up and very lightweight. No external cables nor memory cards make for a small package. My only complaint, if really even that, is that unlike a standard digital camera, the unit cannot be used to play videos on a UK television as its factory set to NTSC ( the UK uses PAL )and while this is not a great problem, it would be nice to play the movies through a television when i am there. All in all, a great boys toy.
Very nice point and shoot HD camera. Slips perfectly into a pocket. Software is easy to use, and it is easy to upload films to the internet. Good resolution for the price. Very lightweight (easy to transport but makes it feel kind of flimsy). The plastic scratches easily, but this does not affect the performance of the camera. Also, the lens is not protected, so I see how it could get scratched if it is stuffed into a back pocket or in a bag without protection. Overall, a very nice camera that can fit into a pocket!
