Our Verdict:

There should be no more excuses for missing the moment. The Flip MinoHD-Chrome is an exceptionally small high definition camcorder that offers ease of use and stunningly crisp videos in a sleek and compact frame. The recorder is not really designed for producing major motion pictures, but it does a terrific job at being quite handy and readily available when those unanticipated, not-to-be-missed moments crop up. There is no excuse not to carry it around. It easily slips into a pocket or a small purse and does not need those added cables and adapters to operate.

The picture quality in the MinoHD is great; it automatically adjusts with varying light conditions. Its greatest attribute should be that it is Mac-friendly. The customized designs available that you can add after your purchase allow you to inject your personality into its casing. Likewise, other accessories include a DryPak which you can purchase so you can use the recorder in the pool or beach. For what it can offer, the MinoHD is a great buy!


Customer Feedback-

"I have found myself capturing more moments on video since I started using the Flip camcorders. These moments would have never got on video if I did not have the Flip camcorder which I could pull out and turn on in a few seconds!"

"The Mino HD really wins on convenience and is a nice quality item to gift to somebody who is not super tech savvy. This is basically a point and click HD camcorder, and in that sense it's one of a kind."

"Taking the Flip Mino HD along with you is just as easy as not taking it. You don't really notice you have it, in most cases, because it's so tiny. Despite that you get a nice image. It performs surprisingly well in low light. It's no high end camera for sure, but it's good for the type of camera it is."

"Overall, I am incredibly pleased, this device is the perfect, perfect solution for us: compact and portable, we can take it anywhere all the time and capture those short fleeting moments of joy with the kids, then upload instantly on a PowerPC Mac and view instantly on an Apple TV connected to our plasma, where it looks wonderful. No transcoding, no downconverting, no AIC, no AVCHD to h.264 to blu-ray or whatever. Just simple. I love this camera.
