Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black)
The Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black) is one slick video camera. Compact and stylish, this little guy fits right in your pocket, ready to shoot up to 60 minutes of video to the 2GB internal memory whenever and wherever. He's 40% smaller than his big brother, the Flip Ultra, and features an internal, rechargeable, lithium-ion battery, lending even more to the overall sleek design. However, just like his predecessors, the flip out USB arm is still a defining feature. Just connect the USB to your PC or Mac for quick uploading of video. In addition, built-in FlipShare software makes uploading to video sharing sites such as YouTube, AOL and MySpace a breeze.
The flat back panel with touch-sensitive buttons features a 1.5" LCD screen and all the controls you need to capture and playback video, nothing more, keeping the Mino as user-friendly as it gets. When you're done shooting and want to share your footage with friends and family simply connect the camera to your TV for instant playback on the big screen.
- 2GB Internal Flash Memory
- Save up to 60 minutes of full-VGA, 30fps video to the Mino's 2GB internal flash memory.
- Flip Out USB Arm
- Connecting the Mino to your computer couldn't be any easier, just flip out the USB arm and plug the camera into your computer's USB port. That's it!
- FlipShare Software
- The built-in FlipShare software helps you email your videos, edit custom movies, capture still photos from video, and upload your videos to social media sites such as YouTube and Myspace.
- VGA CMOS Sensor
- Because the Mino captures video to the 1/4" VGA CMOS sensor in the MPEG-4 format it's ready to post online immediately without going through complicated editing processes.
- Fixed Focus Easy
- The Mino features a fixed focus lens that keeps things as simple as, point and shoot. Don't fuss with complicated menus or functions; capture the memories you want with ease.

- The 1.5" color LCD screen provides you with a platform for composing and playing back all your video.

Hello,
I purchased two Mino Camcorders for business purposes. I work in the Corporate Communications Department of a well known insurance company. As such, we have many occasions where there is a need to record events, trainings, meetings, (etc.), both on-site & off. With all the other items we have to take/carry to these meetings it is extremely beneficial for us to have the compact style of the Mino Cam while traveling to & from these meetings. The Cam was easy to use, lots of fun, and in reviewing the videos, provided excellent quality.
If there is one small thing I'd change, it would be to balance the sound quality out more while recording. In playback, if anyone is too close in proximity of the Cam, their voices get picked up over the subject/speaker of the video.
Again, overall, I love the product & would definitely purchase it again.
Thanks for making such a fine product.

I bought a new Mac laptop to go with my Flip camera. The compatibility is not good and I had to keep downloading software to make it work. It's still not working right. The Flip camera in general seems o.k, but I'm disappointed.

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
We press the red button, and it records. The USB Flips out, downloads the videos and charges the unit. If you email others, keep the clips at 40 seconds or under as that equates to your email maximum of 25MB. Wish you could take a snapshot.
To get one, you have to download into the "FlipFile" and it will let you do it that way.

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
As a coach I use the Flip video to tape executives giving presentations. It is easy to record with and easy to playback. My clients can quickly view themselves on a TV monitor. I travel around the city with it and its small size and light weight make it effortless for me.
The only drawback is that the subject needs to be close to it to be heard clearly.

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
We take short videos of our son and upload them to a blog for his grandparents to see. It is really easy to use, it turns on very fast. It is super small, so I am more likely to have it in my pocket than if I had the larger one.

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
As a PTA, we purchased these cameras for early elementary classrooms and the faculty and students are thrilled with them. The user interface is simple, clean, and not intimidating so that even the least tech-savvy teachers are comfortable picking up the Mino and using it right away. The camera is sturdy and fits well in the hand and the students enjoy using it for class assignments and recording events. [...]

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
The Mino is small enough to carry anywhere with you, about the size of your slim cell phone. Mino makes video easy and the pictures are phenomenal. I can review the film frame by frame and choose which frame is the best picture and get a snapshot! I wanted Mino to video family and create my video library to store on "YouTube". When I video with Mino, people smile and that makes for great pictures!
The cost is reasonable and Mino is very sleek and stylish. I am getting much more video from Mino than I would from a camcorder because of the ease of use. The included software is easy and amazing. The only thing the customer needs is a PC with a USB port. What could be better???? Haven't tried it in low light - there is an accessory for that option but I don't need low light features.

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
I carry my Flip in my bag so I always have it with me. I always found traditional video cameras to be a pain to carry and to always have to make sure it is charged and load with a blank tape. Now I just aim and record.

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
We haven't had a camcorder for several years, but we have boxes and boxes of tapes that we cannot watch until we get them converted to DVD. Without a lot of $$ to spend, the Flip Mino proved to be the answer for us. It is simple to use and simple to load onto the computer - not possible with old camcorder!! The only thing that I wish were different is that the screen was bigger. The microphone picks up well, better than I expected.

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
I use the Mino to tape brief puppet shows to send my grandchildren, record them on those rare times we are together as we live on opposite coasts. I also did some videos of a balloon festival. The small size makes it very convenient to carry around, and quality is good.
This is my second Mino which I had shipped to my son, so he can make some videos for me!

Comments about Flip Video Mino Camcorder (Black):
This video cam has been great! It's easy to take video and to slice & dice it when you're done. It could not be easier since the software is in the camera so you can work on any computer, wherever you are. The only thing I wish it had was an option for speeding up or slowing down portions of the film, but that aside, it's a great camera. The size is equivalent to my blackberry pearl phone and just as easy to carry around with me.
