8GB internal memory is better than before… but why not provide the option to the user to add a larger memory card? Thumbs down on that! 2 hours of battery life still not enough… Thumbs down that! Battery replacement needs servicing and can’t be done by user like with any mobile phone, etc.? Thumbs down on that!… USB connection needs supporting or risks getting damaged. Thumbs down on that! Yep, looks cool, image quality is OK, and has some other (minor) “pluses”, but… still misses the point/mark… Hopefully the next generation MinoHD will fix these issues. Then, I will buy the MinoHD G3 for myself and everyone I know! Until then, it’s still lacking.

I bought this item through Amazon.com to use it during a trip to Europe. After using it about 15 minutes, it completely went dead, it shut off while keeping the record light on. I need to send it back and get a refund from Amazon.com. I am not the only one to have this problem, so beware this new item might be, not the “Ipod of Camcorders” but the “Vista of Camcorders”. The cool appearance might hide a defective product.

THIS IS THE SECOND FLIP VIDEO THAT I HAVE PURCHASED THAT WAS DEFECTIVE AND BROKE

I had a flip classic… it broke. Screen freezes on startup and stays frozen. Company wouldn’t help.. said I was out of warranty. My brother had the same model… his broke too! Same EXACT problem. I bought a Flip ultra and in less than a week… it broke! It won’t turn on when I press the on button. WE ARE STARTING A SHOW CALLED “FLIP OUT” WHERE WE VENT AND SHOWCASE ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN BURNED BY THE PEOPLE AT FLIP VIDEO. THEY WERE REALLY UNHELPFUL AND SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND FLIP I HAVE BOUGHT THAT HAS BROKE (AND MY BROTHER’S TOO) I KNOW THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY.

It looks like Best Buy sold this a little early and unfortunately, it didn’t work as expected. You can make it freeze completely any time you want by trying to zoom while recording. I’m going to try and exchange it for the same model if they will let me. They didn’t have this version out on display, the salesperson just happened to grab it behind the counter.

The device has a very nice feel.
