Unboxing: Flip Video Mino
So for the last few months I’ve been debating on which portable video camera to purchase and I finally decided on the Flip Video Mino in black. I wanted something small that used internal flash memory for capturing video. I also wanted something that was easy to use not only for myself but for my wife and daughter. The fact that I can capture video direct to the device, plug it in via USB to my MacBook Pro and upload to YouTube is exactly what I have been looking for.
I plan on using the Flip Mino for capturing my daughter as she grows up, family times, quick happenings I may encounter and for my upcoming speech class.
The Flip Mino arrived today from Amazon and I was curiously intrigued with how “Appleish” the packaging was. So I’ve taken some photos of the Flip Mino unboxing along side the Apple iPhone box. One of the small features I like about the Mino is that it has a tripod mount on the bottom which will come in handy for those speech videos.
Here are some pictures that show off the packaging and some of the hardware features of the Mino.

As you can see the box and packaging has been inspired by Apple design. The front and back of the Mino is very clean and I can’t wait to test it out.
If you want to see some additional unboxing photos go to my Flickr page where I’ve posted the rest of the photos I’ve taken. Then be on the lookout for videos to follow!
What a cute little device – and the packaging is great, very Apple-ish indeed! Looking forward to seeing it in action. Even though I have a “cheap” HD camcorder, I think the Flip looks like great fun and I could well be interested in getting one of those at some point.
Sam, thanks for the comment and yes the packaging is great. I know I asked you about the Aiptek HD camcorder before but decided on the Flip because of how small and simple it is. I know the video won’t compare to the HD corders but I think I can live with that for now.
I’ve played with the Flip a little since I got it yesterday but nothing I want to post on-line yet… but I will and will post it here when I do. I’m still playing with the included software and iMovie to see how they work together.
