With the booming popularity of sites like YouTube or even social networking sites, the power of pictures and video in the moment has never been greater. Star Reviews set out to test one of the newest pocket camcorders on the market, the Flip Video MinoHD. The Flip MinoHD is a small, sleek, lightweight camcorder that is small enough to keep with you at all times and can be comfortable carried in your pocket – as it is no larger than the average cell phone. Now you will have the power of HD quality video (720p) with you at all times, and will never miss that special moment again.

We took the Flip Video MinoHD out to the park to see some midday action on the water, it was a beautiful day and there were some people enjoying themselves on the water! The quality of the video was great, the colors are vibrant and crisp, but we have to say we were somewhat disappointed with the shakiness of the video when we attempted to zoom in slightly. The onboard microphone seemed to wash out some sound with the ambient noise of the wind blowing, but when we tested the MinoHD indoors in an atmosphere of less background noise the microphone performance was much improved. Be sure to see our video review of the Flip Video MinoHD to see actual footage shot with the Flip MinoHD.
