Flip camera? Ultra vs. mino?!

lhcass · December 2010

Does anyone have any opinions about one vs. the other?! I think I'm going to ask for one for the holidays.

I have the MinoHD (60 minutes) and its great. I love it because it is super small and fits perfectly in compartments in purse as well as jean pocket. My friend has the Ultra and its kind of bulky in my opinion. Video wise thet both are amazing with great lighting. The biggest complaint is you better have a decent steady hand or great tripod because without holding them properly you will get some shaking in your video.

Hope this helps. I love my flip and upgrading to the Flip Slide.

I've been thinking of getting the Mino - because it's smaller.

I meant to tell you Sony came out with one (I am getting that one) called Sony Bloggie Touch which takes 12.8 MP images along with HD video for $179. I think you can get a new one on ebay (if you shop there) for around $150. good luck!

I have the Ultra and love it but my neighbor has a Kodak one that does great video and is even waterproof without any extra covers. She has taken video of her kids doing flips underwater. I don't know how much those are though.
