Mino Custom Flip Video: Your Style
Since
Spring of 2006, Flip Video has made sharing your videos easier than
ever before. Now, you can share your personal flare with those you
shoot. Customize your Flip Video Mino at Cafe Press often for no
additional cost. I went to check out some of the designs - - and I
have a few tips for you, when you do.
First off - - you'll want to get over to Cafe Press' Mino site.
When you're there, you'll find OVER 3,300 DIFFERENT STYLES that you can put on your Flip Video Mino. But you'll probably want to narrow it down to the few that you'd like on your Flip.
Enter the search terms that you'd like on your Flip Mino... "cats", "dogs", "skulls", "obama", "mccain", "christmas", or even "asian" might help you reduce your search results. There are many that haven't put in their meta data. I'm surprised there aren't more that fall under the "wedding" search.
The Flip Video camera would be the perfect camera to hand out to your friends and relatives at your big event (whether it's your wedding, your kid's first birthday, your 50th anniversary...)
I hope to have a hands on review - - and a few tricks to easily mod your flip videos soon.
The makers of the acclaimed Flip Video(TM) family of camcorders today announced a next-generation personalization platform that invites consumers to choose from thousands of professional designs or custom design their own Flip Mino camcorder. This new online marketplace, created in partnership with CafePress, gives consumers the option to share their designs with the community to earn commissions for themselves or non-profit causes. For the first time ever, a consumer electronics company has given full design control to consumers, raising the standard for mass-market personalization.
The latest innovation from Pure Digital Technologies builds on the success of its wildly popular Flip Video camcorder line and recent launch of the stylish, compact Flip Mino. After just one full year in market, Flip Video has sold over 1.5 million camcorders and currently has the #1 and #3 best-selling camcorders in the U.S., according to the latest rankings from leading market research firm NPD.
"We created the Flip Mino to be a fun and simple way for people to share their stories with video. And now they can express themselves not only with the videos they record, but the camcorders they use,? said Pure Digital's Chairperson and CEO, Jonathan Kaplan. "We see this as the new design frontier in personal electronics.?
For no additional cost, the Flip Video personalization platform gives consumers unlimited options to create a Flip Mino to fit their individual personalities. Users can choose from thousands of designs from artists, leading design firms, celebrities, and iconic brands, or they can easily upload their own image to create a one-of-a-kind camcorder. Adding to the fun, Flip Video has built an exclusive design engine ? the Pattern Generator ? that makes it easy for anyone to make a truly unique device. By partnering with CafePress, the leaders in user-generated commerce, over 6.5 million individual CafePress users have the ability to design Flip Mino camcorders to sell on www.cafepress.com or www.theflip.com, creating an unprecedented mass design community for Flip Mino. Consumers can add their creations to the open marketplace and earn commissions for each camcorder sold using their designs. Users can also elect to have their designs earn commissions for non-profit causes.
Weighing in at just over three ounces, the remarkably slim yet powerful Flip Mino is the perfect combination of simplicity, quality and sleek design. It features an internal rechargeable battery and 2GB of on-board flash memory for 60 minutes of high-quality video. The Flip Mino retails for $179.99. All Flip camcorders are fully compatible with Windows software, as well as, Apple's Mac video applications, including QuickTime, iMovie, and iDVD
