Flip Video MinoHD user reviews (second generation, silver)

Cons Customer Service and Tech support both admitted to a design flaw with this model that makes it almost impossible to fit the camera into the computer using the USB Adapter. 2 sets of USB cables were sent as the problem solver both were wrong. on January 30, 2010 by walkabout247  | Read full review

Cons I'm surprised CNET didn't notice the USB problem. It is impossible to connect this camera to a computer without an adapter. I lucked out and the adapter that came with my bluetooth cell phone earpiece fit the Flip, so I wasn't too put out. on March 3, 2010 by DaBruddah  | Read full review

Cons Well I have the 4GB Mino so i only get & 1hr of recording time. BUT..that's not TO bad. No IMAGE stability. on July 16, 2011 by DOMINUCE  | Read full review

Cons Biggest gripe is that this was marketed by a parent company that just hung Flip out to dry - even though it's a market leader AND money maker. This means no next generation, no continued refinement. on April 22, 2011 by phoenix71--2008  | Read full review

Cons My Flip Mino HD has always been difficult to use with the buttons slow to respond to pressing them and also difficult to turn on. Now it does not charge and will not turn on. Apparently this is an inherent problem with this product. And from what I have r on March 29, 2011 by rbhoel  | Read full review

Cons I wish I had a wider view, it doesn't cover a wide angle to your shot. I know there's an attachment lens available, but that takes away from it being compact. Although I am not concerned alot about the aforementioned I still love my flip mino hd. on January 13, 2011 by shayadave  | Read full review

Cons battery life disappointing. i get an hour. i could really use two hours of battery life. i wish it would let me downsize the video. or choose multiple sizing. it seems a bit fragile. i hope i don't get butter fingers. on May 13, 2010 by skadoo23  | Read full review

Cons Flip-up USB connector is spiffy but hard to plug into anything. Make sure you take a USB "A" Male to "A" Female extension cable home from the store when you buy this camera. Audio level seems a little low but that might be just me. on May 11, 2010 by hoohah  | Read full review

Cons No image stabilising or macro for close up shots - not a deal breaker though. on May 11, 2010 by Corbin78  | Read full review

Cons Encountered the issue connecting to Belkin USB hub, but remedied with USB extension cable, which will protect the hub and Flip's USB connections from wear & tear. MinoHD still needs support when plugged in, however, depending on location of USB port. on March 3, 2010 by GuitrDad  | Read full review

Cons Poor in dim lighting.
Have a laptop and Mac and the USB connected fine, but wish the device would lock the arm straight so it doesn't turn when pressure is applied to insert it into the drive.
Would rather have a Nano if the video quality was equal on February 8, 2010 by ufndt  | Read full review

Cons In two weeks time I have only managed to connect it to the USB port about 3 times. I have tried it on 5 computers so far and 4 of us have tried. Major problem. on January 20, 2010 by toyotamoto  | Read full review
