.... the Flip Mino HD produces excellent footage, regardless of the resolution. Its automatic white balance and colour reproduction is excellent, focus from the fixed lens is sharp and it's usable in low light as well.
And let's not forget the built-in viewing and editing software. It’s straightforward to use, with simple options for editing clips, uploading to video sites such as YouTube, burning DVDs and also sending video via email.iGizmo - Apr '09

Visitor Reviews...
I was in Germany at the time when I saw this video camera. We were allowed to try it out and see how it worked and what the playback was like on the screen. All I can say is that I was blown away with the quality of this product. It also has a microphone which does not muffle your voice in anyway. It does not have background noise either.
I would recommend this product to anyone. Its just to good
if its avalible from firebox you know you can rely on it. It is one perfect product! :).Christian, Berkshire - Aug '09
Extremely easy and practical to use. Very good video quality!! Useful integrated usb!! And very fun to play with :P Going to test it when I get back to uni to film lectures secretly :P Thanks for a brilliant purchase!! Was so tempting to buy so I pre-ordered the item. Couldn't stop thinking about it all the way through! Brilliant Investment! The mini portable HD device has finally arrived!! :D.L, London - Mar '09
You know how people are asking about the ability to take pictures? There kinda is a way. Take a video of the thing you want to take a picture with and choose the snapshot option to go through the video and find a frame to use as a picture.Joe, London - Jan '10
I love these things! The image is nice for something this small. I use it for videos and pictures as well.Amy, London - Jan '10
I love the Mino HD camera!
Pluses:
- it produces great quality video
- it's a tiny product you can always have with you for impromptu filming
- easy to save and upload videos to You Tube, My Space, or email to friends
- built-in basic video editing software
Minuses:
- the built-in USB jack is a great idea but I'm a little worried about the weight of the camera being borne by the jack (a USB extension cable or hub is a worthwhile addition)
- very hard to hold or pan steady due to it's size (a small tripod is required to get really smooth footage. I wonder if it has any kind of anti shake mechanism?)
- I worry over the lens getting scratched because it is very exposed (a hard case would be very usefull for rough filming situations)
- there used to be a cheap underwater case for previous models, but I don't think there is one for the Mino
- a HDMI jack on this model would seem to be a requirement since it IS for HD (it's available on the Ultra HD)
All in all, it is a fantastic piece of kit (most of the minuses above are very minor issues). It's great to have a full HD camera that is the size of a mobile phone. It means that you can always have it on your person and not have to plan ahead if you want to do any filming.
Cheers
James.James Whitehead, Cork, Ireland - Jul '09
I love my Flip Mino HD! It is fantastic! Low light conditions, vivid colours, extreme portability, style, the list goes on! I would recommend this to anyone who travels a lot as it is compact and incredibly simple to use. Also, for bloggers it's just fantastic!Paul, Middlesbrough - May '10
I go to a lot of live gigs an was wondering what the sound is like on this cool lil' gadget also does it zoom thank you xx.Trace, Blackpool - Apr '10
Firebox says: this has a smooth multi-step 2x digital zoom and the sound is great ..although gig's won't bring out the best in it!
When playing clips back through my PC I keep getting 'jerky movements' Can anyone help?Geoff Lester, Thailand - Jan '10
Firebox says: Hi Geoff. Please email us at info@firebox.com with your order details and we will do our best to resolve this for you.
Flips are awesome, yes you can use Imovie or Final Cut Pro on your mac, its as simple as dragging clips into a bin and importing, it's quick. Then you do need a render depending on how long clips are, then edit as normal.Jules, London - Nov '09
Does it take photos as well.Chris, England - Nov '09
Firebox says: No, this camera will only record videos in the formats specified above.
