The Flip Mino HD Field Test
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 by EdWe sent Craig, one of our developers, out to give Flip’s Mino HD camcorder some extreme field testing on one of his regular boulder-climbing excursions.

So that’s what he did with the Mino HD, but what did he think of it?
Great bits:
It’s small!
Works well in contrasting light conditions.
Good battery life.
Don’t have to hunt around for a cable to connect to my laptop.
Takes hardly any time to charge.
Not so great bits:
The viewing screen is a little small.
Zoom resets when you stop recording.
Zoom in general is pretty bad (but I didn’t really use it, because I didn’t need it).
You won’t let me keep it for ever!
Reevoo’s consumer reviewers give the Mino HD an average of 8.3 out of 10 overall; it scores very highly on ease of use (9.7 out of 10) & value for money (9.0 of 10). It’s available from £130.
