Just when you might think that you have enough gadgets, you come across a new one that reminds you: you can never have enough cool stuff. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the "world's smallest HD camcorder," the Flip Video Mino HD. Not only was it a lot of fun to play with, it was very useful and extremely convenient. If you'd like to record some Holiday memories this year in true 720p high definition, or you need to find a cool, unique gift for the techie who has everything, the Mino HD is a sure hit.
Flip Video Mino HD
( Buy at the HT Guys Store, $206 )
The first thing you notice when you open the Mino HD is how small it is. It measures 3.94" x 1.97" x 0.63" (10 x 5 x 1.6 cm) and weighs only 3.3 ounces. Easily smaller than an iPod or PDA, in fact smaller than most cell phones and digital still cameras, the Mino HD is incredibly portable. Also included in the box are a wrist strap, a carry case and an a/v cable (composite video and stereo audio.
Using the Mino is a snap. If recharges via USB, so you plug it into your computer for three hours and it's all set to go. When you're ready to capture some video you simply turn it on and hit the big red record button. While recording you can zoom in and zoom out. After recording a clip, you can watch it back with full volume control and even delete it immediately if it didn't turn out like you'd hoped.
When you're done shooting all the video you need, all you have to do is plug it back into the computer and start working with the clips. The Mino HD includes a simple video application right on the camera, so you can watch, save, edit, email, post to the web - just about anything - without installing a single program. The application, called FlipShare, is very basic, but it does enough to allow a novice user to do the essentials. It runs on both Windows and Mac OS, so everyone should be happy.
FlipShare features: - Video and save clips recorded on the Mino HD
- Cut pieces of clips out with a very simple interface
- Tie videos together to make movies, including optional background music
- Email video clips to friends and family
- Email video greeting cards
- Post videos directly to the Internet, with support for AOL Video, myspace and YouTube
- Prepare videos to be burned to DVD
The Mino HD has 4 GB of built in memory that can record up to 60 minutes of footage. The memory isn't expandable, so you need to get everything recorded in an hour. It records in 720p, 1280 x 720, 16:9 widescreen at 30 fps. The video actually looks really good. It is stored as an MPEG4 file using H.264 and AAC audio. The camera doesn't have image stabilization, so you have to stay pretty still if you want the image to look as good as possible. The audio sounds good when you're close to the sound ...
