Flip Video Mino December 2, 2008
For what this is and what it does -- it is just great! I've made a short video of a national basketball game just to see if I could, and was pleasantly surprised at the results. I also took a 40 minute video of a memorial service after a funeral for a friend and again was quite pleased. If you're looking or a professional video camera, this ain't it. But if you want something you can stick in your pocket and pull out for quick video opportunities, the Flip Video Mino will do the rick. I'd buy it again!
 Not perfect but worth the money .... December 2, 2008
From dagblog.com
My One Favorite Thing this week is the Flip Mino video camera. What a clever little device. I've been using it a ton on my Thanksgiving trip home, including capturing the touching moment when my girlfriend and i first surprised my parents. The Mino was made for that type of event - a short experience when you either don't want to lug around a more substantial or expensive video camera or when you want to be somewhat surreptitious that you're taping things.
The Mino feels good to hold in the hand, and operating the device, especially the responsive touch sensitive control panel, is both easy and enjoyable. It holds an hour of video and the battery lasts quite a while. It has a nifty USB plug attached (but normally hidden) which charges the device when connected to a computer as well as launches a software program that allows you to work with your clips.
The video imaging software is basic but relatively easy to use (though certainly not as seamless or genius as ITunes). You can share videos with others via private email or by uploading (compressed versions) to public Web sites. You can edit videos for length, and also make very simple movie mixes, with the free version of the software but for more indepth options, you'll have to upgrade to the rather costly premium version (which I think is sheer nonsense - Pure Digital, the makers of the Mino, ought to realize that software differentiation and functionality will be key if they are to be anything more than a flash in the pan).
As far as other suggested improvements, I'd like a bigger LCD screen in the front (or better yet, a small screen on the side with the camera lens so you can see what you're filming when you're pointing the camera at yourself). A headphones jack on the device would be convenient for playback. Also, I'd like a way to customize the length of the auto shut-off option as several times I've attempted to capture a fleeting moment only to realize the device powered down (and takes several seconds to boot back up). I also wish it had a better zoom functionality.
Technically the video and audio is pretty darn good, more than sufficient for Web viewing, and ok for TV as well, which you can do with an included cable. My device isn't high def, tho they just came out with a new Flip camera that is HD (it's more expensive and a bit bigger and heavier, and taking a bunch of HD videos would quickly eat up a lot of space on a hard drive).
Obviously, a lot of digital cameras and even mobile phones take video but the simplicity and features of the Mino make it a compelling stand-alone product. Right now, Apple can't even do pictures well with its iPhone, but I'm sure eventually they'll find a way to effectively converge video functionality so that the Mino becomes obsolete.
In the meantime, however, I highly recommend anyone interested in a portable, fun, easy-to-use, fairly inexpensive video camera that is perfect for taking short video clips and then sharing them on the Web with others take a look at the Mino.
Great little camcorder December 1, 2008
This is a little marvel! Takes great videos and is compact enough to put in my pocket or handbag. Excellent value for money and good service and delivery.
Why did I wait so long? November 30, 2008
This is an awesome product...small and incredibly light and sleek; I take it everywhere. No wires; USB flips out and you plug it into your port like a flash drive to charge & download. Totally intuitive interface; so easy to use! The unit is beautifully designed. Amazing price for such a satisfying and sophisticated product. The quality of the video is fine for full screen laptop display and it does an excellent job even in low light situations; also audio is excellent. Now I want the HD version! One caveat; to transfer videos to your iPhone you will have to install some proprietary software to convert the Flip's AVI files to MP4.
