ALODIA'S BLOG: All about the Flip [Video Mino]

This pocket video camera's portability would be of better use for those on the go. It easily slips into one's pocket or handbag. So capturing precious everyday moments with this cam is easier than ever. Going out and having a video camera ready just in case something comes up has never been so convenient. This baby is more than enough for bloggers like me. The quality of the vids it captures is on a par with those captured using digital cameras.

Lugging around a DSLR, camera equipment, a bulky video cam, and other stuff would definitely take its toll. But having the Flip around won't be such a burden because it is tiny and light.

Couple it with a laptop and an Internet connection... now you're ready for real-time, hassle-free video blogging!

Sample videos

Here are a few videos I've taken using the Flip Video Mino (and edited in iMovie).

  2. Chris Lanuza: Yet again, nice read Edj! I just want to ask about the device's mic/audio receiver. Is the sound quality good enough for something like interviews and such? Will I worry about frequent hissing or skipping sounds?

  4. Carlo: Nice vid recorder. It really is like your regular cellphone or mp3 player. The "shake" thing seems a real problem though. Also, since its such a tiny device, its more prone to get snatched if you're shooting in action say, on the streets. But I guess each device has its own pros and cons.

  5. Gian Marco Bercasio: Not only the videos can be uploaded in Youtube, but you can also edit the whole video through a certain software... but the only problem with this mini-vidcam is the picture quality and the constant blur effects...another downside with this Flip Video Mino is not on is full HD (High Definition) resolution...but all in all its a must have... I'm Gian Marco btw...
