Mino: Flip Video’s Compact Camcorder for the Masses
“Introducing Mino. Now playing: You“
Those are the words you see when you first check out Flip Video. Their Mino camcorder is tiny: 3.94” x 1.97” x 0.63” That’s approximately four inches by two inches by a half inch. This wouldn’t be such a big deal, but it provides you with a Camcorder, not just a camera.
Gone are the days of holding a huge bulky camera so you can shoot some video! You get an hour of high-quality video and four hours if you get the optional power adapter.
The 640 X 480 resolution video is shot at 30 frames per second.
You get some bells and whistles like Child Safe mode which prevents accidental deletions of clips, and the easiest possible way to upload your videos to the net. Just flip the USB arm out, plug it into your computer and share away! No cables to plug in. The software is simple to use and the editing tools let you add music.
