Flip Mino recording Live Drums

I used my new Flip Mino to record myself on the drums, notice how the built-in Mic has a hard time recording the loud volume. Im a little dissapointed because of the amount of clipping.

isnt this the old one though? thats why the sound isnt as good?

[TheKuroH]

you can really tell the mic cant take high frequencies

i think i will go for the zoom Q3 to record my drums.

My Flip Mino HD is just the same - clips badly on high frequencies, mainly Hi-hat and bell cause it. I have ordered a Flip Ultra HD in the hope it will be better.

yeah that's the thing i dont like about the mino.... it's to sensitive to loud sounds... i can't record my saxophone without having to hear the clipping...

[PlayinSomeGuitar]

sounds pretty coool. me nd my friends use a flip too

[rawkryan12]

only reason why i want one!

Great first video, great drumming, keep on expressing and experimenting with different angles and what not. The flip mino has great video quality and I'm sure you'll find a way to get the sound to pick up better.

Awsome

Nice groove! I see what you mean about the clipping. Drums really are quite loud though. You might be interested in investing in a condenser mic, or, on a higher budget, a set of mics and a mixer! Keep the wicked beats coming!
