Flip High Definition Camcorder - The Best Little HD Video Camera on the Market

This may just end up being a shrine for this amazing little high def camcorder. Cisco has bought Flip, and because they don't know what to do with it, they're going to kill it.

If you can, buy one while they still exist!

The Flip MinoHD model is the smallest and slimmest camcorder on the market. Featuring easy to use, one touch recording and 2X digital zoom, the Mino can record 60 minutes of High Definition-quality video (1280 x 720 resolution at 30 frames per second; 16:9 widescreen) on its 4GB built-in memory.

When you're done, the flip up USB arm plugs right into your computer to upload video for storage on your computer or sharing on video sites. Like other USB devices, the USB charges the lithium-ion battery while it's plugged in.

The MinoHD includes a TV cable for porting video right to your TV.

You can view the video you're watching and play it back on the 1.5 inch screen.

At less than 6 inches long and less than 4 ounces, you'll barely know it's there except for it's considerable video quality and performance.

1. It's SO easy to use. Unpack it, and it's ready to go with big, easy-to-use buttons. Morans stay away, because the Flip HD is almost foolproof.

2. It's small and compact so you can carry it anywhere, and pull out and use unobtrusively, picking up great sound and HD video.

3. Use it for class where you want to record lessons, presentations, graphics and other content you don't want to miss, or laboriously write down.

4. Whip it out at parties to catch the fun for YouTube, Facebook, your blog or for your own personal videos of everything from college parties to weddings and other get-togethers.

5. Convenient to use when you suddenly need a video camera to catch events like your baby's first steps or words, something cute your pet is doing, up to quick evidence taking after auto accidents.

6. Going to a meet-and-greet and have trouble remembering names and faces? Take your Flip HD with you and get a brief intro of people, their contact info and their face so you can put a name to faces and voices on the phone for quick reference later.

7. Watching someone do something difficult? Make a video tutorial for your own uses, or if you know what you're doing, make a video tutorial for others. Point and shoot where you want it, record your commentary or someone else's so you and others can understand what to do.

8. Use your imagination - The Flip HD gives you the flexibility to do just about anything you want with it to record HD video and quality sound. These are just a few reasons to get the Flip HD, and I'm sure you can think of many more. It's perfect for hobbies, work, play, serious film-making and general goofing off. You can even use it for that.

Similar in every way to the Mino is the Ultra model, which sacrifices just a fraction more size and a couple more ounces in order to bring you 4GB of storage and 120 minutes of video time and a bigger preview screen.

Functionality is the same, and Mino users can upgrade with no slowdown in their understanding of the product, while doubling their shooting time.

The Ultra HD can actually be a better value than the Mino HD. The Ultra HD trades convenient size for greater capacity, while still remaining small enough to pocket or slip into a case.
