I’ve owned the Flip Mino for several months now.  It really only seems to come out when international travel happens — fortunately that’s fairly often.  I must say, for a relatively inexpensive device, the Flip Mino is solid.  From the easy USB charging, to moving and uploading the video files to the near instant boot time and battery life; very hard to beat.

The video quality is very nice and the audio is picked up well for such a small hand held device.  If you’re looking for a video recorder that’s compact, inexpensive and simple, go for the Flip Mino.

Here are a couple of videos from the last couple of trips.  One to Dubai, UAE in November and to Sydney, Australia in March.  http://vimeo.com/silvershed/videos/
