    25 June 2008

    The Pure Digital Flip Mino ($179 MSRP) will get the job done - so long as that job is forgiving of poor video quality. This is a product in a categeory almost all its own, defying traditional camcorder manufacturers to compete in the under-$300 market. The Flip boasts little, but makes good on what it does promise: Read more

    The Pure Digital Flip Mino isn't going to replace a full-size, high quality camcorder any time soon, but that doesn't mean the camcorder isn't a useful device. If you've ever found yourself recording video on your cell phone, even if you have a high-end multimedia smartphone, the Flip Video would be a good choice for an ultra-compact camcorder because its video quality, while not great, is much better than what you'll get from a phone. Some more control might have... Read more

    If you're already considering the Flip Mino, chances are it's the right type of camcorder for you. The low quality of the video and lack of manual controls are a nightmare for any video enthusiast, but may be exactly what weary gadget owners are looking for. Whether you're budget-conscious, intimidated by too many bells and whistles, or looking for a camcorder you can carry every day, the Flip might be just what you need. Read more

  4. Pure Digital's Flip Video mino

    2 July 2008

    The Flip Video mino is an ideal video camera solution for those who want to capture spur of the moment events in everyday life. It is simplistic in its design, and offers no frills capture capability, the zoom is extremely limited, and this version offers a built in rechargeable battery, which like the iPod and similar devices, will eventually fail, leaving you with essentially a useless device, unless there is a program in place to replace the battery when it does die...

    A Week of Filming With The Flip Mino Reveals Some Flaws Here in the Lab, we're suckers for makeovers. Say what you will about Beauty & The Geek, but every time a polished-up uber-nerd captures the heart of some saline enhanced hottie, an angel gets his wings ... in Second Life. That's why we've been jonesing to spend some quality time with the recently-unveiled Flip Mino camcorder. Billed as 40% smaller and — evidently — 100% slicker than its chauncy-looking... Read more

    May 2009.  The camcorder works, but downloading to their software never worked.  I could not get the product to work properly with my vista computer.  The company sent me different versions of software including beta but did not seem to want to help other than waste my time trying software which all gave the same cryptic error messages. They finally told me if I can't get it to work, don't use their product.  They told me it was my computer's fault instead of their... Read more

  2. Country-Hopping with the 'Flip Mino' video camera

    Reviewer: DealTime UK
    28 January 2010

    Fall semester, I left the United States and studied abroad in Europe. I was looking for a camera that was ultra lightweight, high quality and super easy to use to accompany me on my travels. Nothing fits that definition like the 'Flip Mino', better. Specs The Camera is 4"x2"x.6", to put it in perspective...it's like caring around a sleek, stylish....phone. That's right, this thing is basically akin to carrying around a phone. So long 'humungo' video cameras.  It... Read more
