You know maybe if this is your first camera it isn't so bad. I got it for Christmas and its simplicity has made it a great camera. Also because it is so simple you have to learn a lot of camera techniques that could become useful if you ever decide to start making professorial videos.
Been searching for this song for over a year! I heard it once on an advertisement and couldn't remember what the product was, then someone said the word 'flip' the other day and it hit me! Over a year later someone says 1 word and it clicked. I came here and found it. I can now die happy.
From the videos I've seen here, I wouldn't be surprised if the local TV news eventually starts using these for field reporting. I'm sure the next model will have improved sound quality.
Heh, actually, I just purchased the Vado HD for $135. Unfortunately, if I elaborated on how I pulled off such a feat, I'd be tried and executed for high treason.
Youtube needs a comment edit button more than Zimbabwe needs a stable currency!!! Okay, maybe not that badly, but it needs a frikkin' edit button BADLY!
Thought about getting one of these, but the maker of the vid did not bother to put any of the specifics of what it will do. The commercial is f'n lame!
Being able to do widescreen and high-quality (even HD video) from something as small as this is pretty interesting if you ask me. I have an LCD PC monitor (not a TV, as it has nothing to play TV media with). And even still, I'm not real sure it's anything HD-ready. It's still a very interesting camera/camcorder. Great stuff.
I think people should note that this is by no means for professional purposes. At most, it'll give you good quality for family memories or whatever. Possibly the average youtube blogger as well.
With these cameras, there's generally very bad audio quality, and the shape of it is very ineffective for a lot of things.
If you're just looking to capture every day memories in good quality, that's great, but don't get this for any serious videos.
looks kind of cool if you just want a really small packable camera, but you have to remember that their is more to video quality then just if it is high def or not. like a high quality standard def will have better all around footage most of the time.
im getting one this Christmas and since I have never uploaded to Youtube before, can someone tell me how I get the "Watch in HD" option for my videos?
to get the "watch in HD" option you have to upload and High Defenintion video file....youtube doesn't just convert it into HD; the original file has to be an HD file.
wow a million something hits. Thats a complete LIE! Ive been keeping track of this video and once it came it it had 1,000,000 hits. Theres nothing new about this product that hasent came out allready or that isnt out allready. No one cares about HD especially on a veryyyyy small screen. Its like our world is going downhill in electronics. Id rather pay 500 for a itouch witch is incredible by the way than 220 for that thing...
While the "point and shoot" is simple, that's really the only thing this camera has going for it. I bought one a last year and was really disappointed. I never used the editing software that it comes with (why would I?) and unless they fixed things on the Mino, the thing is a battery EATER. Everytime I wanted to film something, it needed a fresh set. "Point-and-shoot" defeats the purpose if it's really "Replace-expensive-batteries, point-and-shoot"
Yeah i film my friends skating or my band, and when ever i did anything i brought a spare pair of batteries, i eventually bought rechargeable batterys though.
I was thinking of getting a Flip Video for my birthday this coming January. I was pretty impressed in that this is just point-and-shoot. I mostly rely on my webcam for my own videos, but I think this camera would be a great start for ANYBODY wanting to make pro-quality videos on YouTube. The Mino lineup costs a little more than any of the base Flip cameras. However, I'm sure you're getting a lot for the money when picking up this MinoHD.
just resolution. Mino is VGA (4:3) and MinoHD is 720p (16:9 widescreen). Sharper video quality, although you won't notice it on YouTube because they compress so much when you upload.
The Flip Mino is a Portable video camera that records videos[in this case HD videos] on a built in hard drive and allows you to easily transfer the video to ur computer and then to any video sharing website.
it is not a camera or an MP3 player as[bummy969] might think.
NOTE: im not sure if this version allows u to expand the memory.
The flip videos are terrible, i bought one a year ago and all i can say is "what the fuck".
When you get it they make you put there terrible editing software on your computer, and its picks up sound like shit, i bought it to record videos of my band and some dirtbike/atv videos, its so bad at picking up sound, if anyone reads this and considers buying one DONT! youll be sorry if you do.
The programs that cameras come with are half-assed. You just need to import the video into Sony Vegas or Windows Movie Maker and turn the sound up with the editing software.
I tried importing it into windows movie maker but when i did,it wouldnt let me post it to youtube, thanks though, im going to delete the software and try to do it again, BTW, is there anyway of taking the camera apart so we could put a different microphone in it?
hmmm i dont know to put it on the computer. its not that small of a screen that you cant identify whats in the picture. if your trying to find flaws in it. you S.O.L
haha its been out for like 6 months.. my sis has one they rule!!!!! u can record 60 mins and deltle the videos u dint like and u can plug to the t.v. so the screen can become bigger lol its pretty cool
sorry! there wuz a lil girl walking down a hallway of an old hotel when a man stabbed her in the back of the head. if u just read this comment, then her dead body will appear in ur bedroom doorway unless u post this comment on 3 other videos
whoever invented the flip video is a fuckin genius. its so awesome and convenient. i have the original orange and white one, and its my favorite thing. other cameras are such a hassle, with all the uploading issues and firewire cables and theyre so big and clunky and annoying. flips are awesome.
