I tried Apple USB brick to charge the Mino (not HD) and killed the camera, had to return it. I wouldn't use any external power adapter. Plan to take a laptop with you if you need to recharge. Unless you can get Flip to provide one of their own, I would be wary. I tried it because someone wrote that it worked for them. Not for my camera!

No and there is no way to make it work. people are saying get adapters but there are no official adapters for this. All adapters go from a 30-pin cable to a lightning port. if you see the reverse its a Chinese knockoff and avoid it!

Nope, there's a hole at the bottom sized for the standard Apple thunderbolt charger. Only if you're using some kind of adapter would you need to flip it.

Yes. I use the Flip Ultra with a MacBook Pro. Software downloaded flawlessly and off loaded videos quickly. I am presently converting some large files to the 'e-mail format'..this is slow. Note that the USB plug on the Flip and the USB port on the side of the Mac are not at the same level (Flip is higher) when on a table and the backside of he flip is facing down. I don't know about the Mino but given the smaller form factor, it might slide in the USB port easier. In any case it works great.

The slot in the flip-down face is made for only iPods and some iPhones. You can buy a bluetooth adapter to use for other external devices.

I am looking to get this device because I have a Monster iCarPlay FM transmitter adapter I've used for a couple of years with my iPhone 4 and 4s. It has the 30 pin adapter. My new iPhone 5s has the lightning pin adapter. My understanding is that using the Apple version of this device, I can continue to use my Monster iCarPlay (which cost $80 brand new when I got it). The generic versions of this device do not seem to transmit sound.

It doesnt come with it's own adapter, or so I think now, I've have it for a while. I just charge it with my iPhone adapter.

Can you tell me which software you had to download? I just tried to connect Flip Mino with my Macbook Pro with OSx10.5 Intel and all I got was a black screen and audio playback on a QuickTime Player. I called Flip helpline and they told me to download a free software from divx.com. I heard this particular download causes problems with iMovie. I hate the idea of downloading anything from a third party.

I copied this from the comment in the review above from 880 User: "This battery can definitely be charged and is meant for convenience. It does not come with an adapter so perhaps that's where your confusion is? At any rate, not sure what you're thinking but just use your iPhone wall charger and provided USB cable to charge it up, then carry it with you and use your iPhone charge cable plugged into this guy to charge your iPhone - over and over. The whole premise is based on extending your iPhone battery for convenience (and emergency) not just a one time use".

You are correct, the Flip Mino has an internal lithium-ion battery. The Mino comes with everything you need, but there are various accessories such as the power adapter (for quicker charge times) and the HDMI cable (for TV playback) that would be beneficial (but not necessary). If you buy them before Dec 12, Amazon is giving away two free accessories (including power adapters, HDMI cables, USB cables, cases, mini tripods, etc).

I'd like to know if the reverse is true; can I use my iPod adapter (also 110->5v) to charge my Flip? Anyone? Anyone?

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.

I bought my speaker system (it stopped working as a singing machine about 5 years ago and cannot be repaired) about six or seven years ago and the iphone adapters were not yet available as far as I know. I think the newer machines have one on the more expensive models.

If you have something that has a usb charger, you could use the other port to charge that device (depending upon what that device is). I plugged in a little rechargeable travel charger into it, and it started charging, but my iPhone didn't charge. It also doesn't connect your device to the computer. So it doesn't appear all that useful, but I think it depends on what you're plugging into it. Any kind of drive I don't think is going to connect, but some chargers would work.

That's a great question but not sure to answer. It was working okay before but later not. Possible after we upgraded to ios8.0 or the adapter broke, a pice of crap.

I am unsure about the question you are asking but I am the owner of an Apple iPod Touch 3rd Gen, Apple iPod Nano 4th Gen, and an Apple iPhone 4S and they all work with this set up. It is really nice. It was exactly what I was looking for without having to spend a ton of money. This item is just like the high end ones without the big price tag. It has worked on any generation Apple product that is associated with the (i believe its called) 30 Prong connector (which is the basic Apple (up until iphone 5) charging cord such as the adapter on this converter) it has the AUX cord for MP3 and other devices.

Dear Lori,Thanks so much for your inquiry. There are two volume controls-one on the Flip, and one on your iPhone. It's probably best to put the volume about halfway on the Flip, and then use the iPhone primarily to adjust the volume up and down. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo
