I personally have purchased the Flip Video Ultra Series, which runs a bit bulkier than the Mino Series Ultra Series still fits in my pocket, yet I would prefer the Mino Series slim size as the fit would be a bit roomier. I love it because it has allowed me to record spontaneous interviews, or thoughts about current events that I post straight to my blog.
If you market with video in any way shape or form, the Flip Video camera works wonders for instant creation. I have used it many times to create viral video posted on YouTube. With on board software built into the camera, you save yourself time in having to install and use a stand alone program.
Is It Really The Perfect Video Camera?
While the Flip Video Camera has many wonderful features and benefits, I think one downfall comes in wide panning. If you’re shooting professional video for a commercial, or a TV show, this camera may not be for you. Flip Video cameras also do not allow for streaming video capabilities. So, if you’re on UStream, these cameras are definitely not for you.
Value Added Cameratology
So, you may be wondering if the Flip Camera Mino Series is worth its weight in gold. For Video Blogging, Social Networking, and shooting video on the fly, Flip Video cameras are definitely worth the investment.
In summary, Pure Digital’s release of Flip Video Mino Series packs more punch than the Ultra Series. Frank Sousa, of Traffic Geyser had one at a seminar I attended recently, and I wished I had the Mino Series You can even mount it on a tripod. If you’re shooting professional grade footage, go with a higher end video camera. For spontaneous fun video on the fly, you’ll be happy you went with the Flip Video Mino Series!
