The mighty mino

    Filed under: Travel Tech Tues.

Weighing in at only 3.3 ounces and just four inches long, the Flip Mino digital camcorder is a mini techno wonder. The small camera shoots 60 minutes of MPEG-4 quality video and is small enough to fit in most pockets.

For a traveler this is the ultimate video camera to take with you anywhere, and for the technically challenged the Flip Mino is simple enough for a toddler to use…just press the big red button on the back and you are the next Scorsese.

The camera features a built in USB connector that pops up when you press a button…making the camera feel like a Bond gadget, and makes downloading your videos a breeze…you literally plug the camera directly into your computer and the Mino does the rest.

A unique twist the company offers is the option to customize the camera online.  Through their website you can upload a design or photo and it will be printed directly onto the white plastic body of the camera you order. If you can’t come up with a design yourself, the website has tons of ready to use designs and even a design generator for those looking to be the next Picasso. The Flip Mino costs $180 and now comes in an HD version for $230, available at theflip.com
