Manufacturer's Description:

Flip Mino HD is the world's smallest HD camcorder. But, in this case, small in size translates to high in quality. Flip Mino HD produces vibrant HD 720p (1280 x 720, 16:9 widescreen) video that can be enjoyed on any HDTV. Flip camcorders have earned a reputation for high-quality video, and Mino HD combines that signature Flip quality with the latest in HD technology. Its 4 GB of built-in memory lets you capture an hour of brilliant HD video, even in low-light situations. Plus, premier AAC audio means your videos will sound clearer than ever.

Flip Mino HD offers the same features that have made Flip Mino a huge hit. Weighing only 93.5g, Flip Mino HD features a super-sleek, super-portable design that truly puts the power of HD video in your pocket. This portability allows you to capture HD video almost anywhere you go: a morning hike, a lazy afternoon at the park, a late-night party, and everything in between. Like other Flip Video camcorders, Mino HD offers a simple user interface with one-touch recording, making it easier and more fun than ever to take HD-quality video. Simply power on and press record, and you'll be capturing HD video in seconds. When it's time to edit or share your videos, flip out the USB arm and connect to any Mac or PC to launch the built-in FlipShare software.
