Other Features
Audio / Playback / Connectivity
Audio (0.0)The Pure Digital Flip MinoHD is equipped with only the most basic audio options: a mono microphone located on the front of the body next to the lens and, ironically, two playback speakers on either side of the LCD screen on the back. Audio is compressed with AAC. In noisy, windy, or otherwise loud recording environments, the audio quality is very bad. When the source is distinct, the quality is still not great, but your audience will probably not complain that much.
Playback (4.75)
To access your recorded clips on the Pure Digital Flip MinoHD, you can either touch the Play/Pause button in the upper left, or tap the left and right directions buttons on either side of the Record button. Once you're in playback mode, use the directional buttons to move from one clip to the next. To begin playback, hit the Play/Pause button. Volume is controlled with the plus and minus buttons.
Connectivity (3.5)
As with the standard definition Flip Mino, there are only two ports on the Pure Digital Flip MinoHD. The namesake feature is the USB arm extension, which flips out, spring-loaded, from the top. The release trigger is located on the left side. The arm feels only mildly sturdy. It's a way, it's a race to see what will kill your Flip Mino first. Will it be the dead, non-replaceable battery, the USB arm snapping off, or will you simply drop it in the lake? It's all makes for a very exciting experience.

The AV-out is a standard 1/8-inch 'mini' jack. |
There is also an AV-out jack located on the left side for connecting to TV. Unlike the standard def Mino, this high definition video could actually look decent on a full-sized TV, so you may get a little more use out of the AV port on this model.
