This is a lightweight video camera; inexpensive and operates like an Ipod with only a few buttons • It has BUILT-IN USB port to hook directly to your computer and transfer the videos clips to your computer
MODELS Mino, Mino HD, Ultra • The Mino and Mino HD charge on the computer and have 60 min or 120 min of space • Ultra and Ultra HD need batteries and come in 120 or 60 or 30 min models (less cost less minutes) • Be aware that other companies make flip-type devices but these are Flip brand name video cameras (Kodak)
Points to Know • Not greatest quality video but suitable for most home videos and classroom ‘up close’ recordings – not ball games • They do record sound • You can keep many separate files on your Flip and on your computer; it has great file system • Smaller than a digital still camera and thin and lightweight and can take out stills from the videos • Comes with a cable to hook to TV to show the video clips on TV; very convenient for teachers using them for class projects
Advantages • Low in Cost • Makes is easier for you to burn clips to post to FaceBook or YouTube • Makes it easy to catalog and file clips on your computer or move back & forth • Makes it easier to then burn video clips to CD’s or DVD’s (use the .avi files) • The FlipShare software is built-in and it transfers automatically to any computer you might plug the FLIP into - no more searching for the install discs
WalMart.com – other models, some 30minutes, all use batteries
