Stocking Stuffer: Flip Video Mino

Pocket video cameras are a great stocking stuffer this holiday season. There's a huge selection available, and the best one we've seen is the Flip Video Mino. It comes in white or black, and stores up to 60 minutes of video on the 2GB of internal...

Flip Video Mino F630W

The Flip Video Mino is the latest in Youtube inspired technology. Specifically made for web uploads, it gives you video in a small and easy to use package with a boutique price to match.

The unit costs a pretty penny coming in around $160 at the time of this review. At this price, it is really hard to justify if the Flip Video Mino is a purchasable product since there are other camcorders that do much more for the same price. Let's...

Flip Video Mino Digital Camcorder Review

From a pure techie/gadget standpoint, the Flip Video product line is nothing special as similar products littered overseas shelves even before the first Flip hit the market. So what make's the Flip so special? Well, for starters Oprah Winfrey got…

Extremely easy to use and operate ; Software is also convenient and makes uploading on the fly quick and easy ; The convenient size makes carrying it with you a no brainer

Touch sensitive controls are frustrating at times ; Low light performance not as good as its predecessor ; Where is my USB Extension Cable

Pure Digital has taken what was already easy to take with you and made it even easier to take with you. The 40% reduction in size over the Flip Ultra has definitely made this device even more portable. The only area where the performance was impacted...

2GB Flip Video Mino - smaller than a cellphone

June 18, 2008 In May last year we praised Pure Digital's Flip Video camera for its simplicity, ease of use and instant YouTube upload facility. Now, the Flip has been upgraded - and downsized - with the release of the Flip Video Mino, a 2GB flash video...

The Mino features a simple and basic control setup, 2GB of onboard Flash storage, a TV-out connection and a lithum-ion battery that charges through the USB connection whenever the Mino is plugged into a powered-up PC. USRRP is $180

Flip Video Mino review

In case you didn't have enough reasons to worry about videos of your escapades showing up online, Flip Video has made video posting easier than ever.

The Flip Mino is sleek, pocketable and easy to use. The video quality also excels. However, the somewhat pricey Mino's video-uploading software can be slow and buggy and the buttons are overly sensitive.

It's the tiniest video camera we've ever seen, but is it worth buying, asks Jonathan Bray?

Flip Video so simple it almost uses itself! ”

The Flip system is virtually foolproof. It shoots in low light, bright light, almost any conditions. Clarity is good, audio is generally good. I have also been able to capture still from the video with good quality.

Disappointing! ”

We purchsed the Flip a few months back loved the idea of this neat little video recorder to keep in the diaper bag for capturing those darnedest things that kiddos do. At first, the camera seemed to work great and be a good value. Its battery life is...
