Flip UltraHD vs Flip MinoHD 2nd Generation
992360
A major advantabe with the Ultra is that it can use regular AA batteries in addition to the rechargeable battery. The Mino can't do that.

I prefer EVs. I think the quality is better and the range of the speakers. I use 2 15 and no sub for my events. My sound goes crazy.

Audio quality on the Ultra model is superb. I do not have the older models, I waited for this one. I recorded jam of acoustic guitars and two part harmonies from 5-10 feet away, perfect. The video quality in lamp light is fuzzy, have to edit in Power Director, render it and save it as 30 fps H.264 file back to flipshare as an import and boom, edited movies are played back in/on Ultra Flip. Sorry, gave you more than the answer. Mikey Blue is coming soon for Ultra Flip, the external microphone that fits the Flip port on the Ultra Model. Have a concert coming in May I must record with optimum sound and that'll do it...Supposed to be out Mid to Late March for the Mikey Blue for Flip.

I have a samsung tablet and a pair of beyerdynamic dt770s which run at 250ohms. The amp is needed to drive them and it more than does the job. Totally different with them at such a cheap price. Actual sound is comparable to systems costing 5 to 10 times as much.

I have both and I think the difference in picture quality is significant, especially for indoor shooting where you often have low light situations. After shooting HD videos, I was surprised how much grainier my older videos from Flip looked in comparison. The compression format is also different from the older Flip which helps compress the video despite the HD quality. The HD videos look so much better on my 17" LCD laptop than the older Flip videos. I also have Creative Vado HD, which I like due to the larger capacity and larger screen size for the same price range.

the Flip Mino HD has a lot of problems connecting with the Macs. Has anyone had a trouble connecting the usb on the Ultra?

Hi Mark, if I'm not wrong that's the Flip 3.0. The flip 3.1 include this as well as the top frame that allows for a second filter to be added. This frame flips a filter from the side. The additional top frame flips a second filter from top down. Hope that helps.

Sorry to disagree with Blake, but I own about every travel amp including Roland minicube, Mustang beats it hands down. Same size, much better sound, cheaper... those 24 presets and good twin reverb sound are bees knees. Haven't dropped like micro cube however. Cube was great in it's day, but things have improved

You will need a laptop with you to off load the videos from the camcorder. And the videos by default are in MP4 format, which is already a compressed format. Saving videos directly onto your laptop (drag and drop from the camcorder) wouldn't degrade the video quality.For the flip mino, yes, or you may buy an AC-USB power adaptor. For the flip ultra, you can simply swap in a new pair of AA batteries.

You can't connect component cables to, and none exist for, the MinoHD. The only outputs are through the USB and through a composite cable. Yes, it's a fundamental flaw that you can't watch clips from the MinoHD directly on a TV in HD. Not only that, but the quality of the standard definition is poor. It's not that standard definition is poor; it's the standard defnition output by the MinoHD is especially poor.Not only that, but even on a PC, the PC needs to have enough power to play the mp4 files smoothly.

I can't speak for the ENTIRE RC-Micro series, but I happen to have the Energy Take 5 Center Channel & the RC-Micro Center (not in the same setup of course) and I can say that the RC-Micro has got a better build than the Take Center Channel. In fact, I substituted the Take CC WITH the RC-Micro because it handles volume WAY better. But again, there's a whole thread on this question on www.avsforum.com

Hi everyone! I actually started this thread ages ago and got a notice about the last post so I thought I would chime in. :)I ended up buying a GHD in the end. It is UK plug, so when I use it home, I have to use a plug converter. Nothing electric, just to make is usable in the US plug (2 spoke vs 3 spoke). It works wonderfully, but plan on getting the plug changed over since the UK (3 prong) is MASSIVEEEE and heavy and a pain. But my hair looks wonderful! Look into the GHD. They are ALL "Universal voltage", so all you need is the plug converter which you typically get in those travel kits with adapters/ converters. Hi everyone!

Sandra, I haven't experienced this problem with my Flip speaker. I use mine for business presentations as well as at home on my patio for entertaining. Sorry I'm not able to provide any more substantive information.

I don't think the MinoHD takes batteries or battery packs. I believe that it has a battery built into the unit.The UltraHD takes batteries or a battery pack.

yes. Flips basically have gotten nicer with the new model. I really like my Flip 2, it's little bit longer, the texture and materials used seems to be more durable and sleeker. I also like the case they include now, very nice touch. Oh yes and the charging cord is USB now so you can plug in your computer or whatever for power plus is comes with the electrical outlet plug as well.

And FYI, IF you are considering a FLIP, you need to get a 2nd or 3rd generation (I'd suggest 3rd), as generation 1 depended on FLIP software, which isn't available anymore. And don't get a mino FLiP, too limited in my humble opinion. Got my 3rd generation on eBay for $36. It was perfect when it arrived. Anyway, good luck!

the v2 is very exposed and it had 2 heat sinks compared to v1 has 4, so it will be hotter and the plexy will warp over time, aluminum can handle the heat and it protects all the components, will it sound the same, i would think so, its the same stuff just compacted, it matters in the headset you connect, my dt770 are 80ohms and thats a lot of draw power, while small headsets with 20ohms would draw less and cause less heat
