Pure Digital launches high definition camcorder
13 Nov 2008
Pure Digital, maker of the revolutionary YouTube camcorder `Flip Video', has now launched another breakthrough product - the Flip Mino HD.
The world's smallest HD camcorder, weighing just over 3 oz, Flip Mino HD is remarkably slim and makes capturing and sharing HD video easy and affordable, the company said in a press release.
Flip Mino HD from Pure Digital Technologies, priced at $229.95 (MRP), records up to 60 minutes of HD video with 4 Giga bytes of internal memory and features Flip Video's new FlipShare software.
''This breakthrough on-board software application allows consumers to plug the camcorder's signature flip-out USB arm into any computer for easy organizing, editing and sharing on YouTube, MySpace, AOL Video or via email,'' the release said.
The Flip Mino HD that can capture high-def images in 720p resolution, however, will cost about $40 more than the company's current Flip Mino and $90 more than the Flip Ultra-$230.
The HD video can be played back on the 1.5-inch LCD display as the device contains recording, playback, fast forward, rewind, pause and delete buttons.
The included FlipShare software allows users to edit the video, create DVDs, email the video or still photos, and quickly upload the video to YouTube, MySpace, and other video services.
Customers can also customise their new Flip at TheFlip.com with thousands of professional designs, custom-design their own, or publish designs that can be sold to other consumers.
