So today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the cameraman's wallet is
this APC brand whatever that is it's all shiny because it appears to have been
used a lot now in here he has an NC
Advantage membership card check that out that's pretty cool he's also got some
credit cards and oh this is good think
twice so this is a good advice for anyone who's reaching for the cards you
know and uh yeah so he has no money
that's why he needs to think twice between before using his cards no I'm
just kidding that's not what I'm unboxing today I'm going to be having a look at the minnow HD flip video
camcorder so let's get the uh plastic off of here first and then we'll uh get
a little bit further into it we'll have a look at the Box the features all that
good stuff okay so it's got kind of a shiny SL matat box on the side it shows
that it records 60 Minutes of footage and it
seems to have a USB interface to your computer so that'll make things fairly
simple it is a shoot and share in HD
device you can record it has OneTouch HD recording instant playback and delete
internal rechargeable battery okay you can the built-in flip share software
allows you to save organize and edit videos watch instantly on TV and then
you can share snap still photos from videos make custom movies and email
videos and publish online okay that's cool so oh publish online so you can
upload your videos directly to Myspace or YouTube this is probably the more
relevant one okay this says the same thing so why don't we break the seals
and have a look at what is inside oh now I'm Wrecking the
Box okay so the first thing we will find is a black
box okay so the unboxing continues and
hopefully this doesn't end up like one of those Russian dolls where it's like
just taking one box out of another box okay so Min HD oo okay they get like A+
for presentation here this is kind of like opening an iPhone
or another sort of high-end electronic device um which it is it's a high-end
electronic device okay so why don't we have a look at the accessories that are included first this is a g Dem Rapid or
a quick start guide in French Let's ignore the French one and look at the
English one there it is so it is get started camcorder features so it's got a
power button wrist strap hook tripod mount even okay lens recording light
microphone USB latch USB ARM play button
lots of buttons okay well we'll have a look at all the buttons when we actually
get the unit out it uses a sealed rechargeable
battery okay save edit and share connect to your computer okay well oh this is
interesting so it has um yellow red white composite output just right from
the device that's pretty neat okay here we have
a warranty card which explains the
warranty which is this is not a toy
never allow children to play with the camc quar I do not see how long the
warranty is but I'm sure that you can 90
days okay so it has a 90day warranty
H okay let's see what else we have in here so there's a little shiny shiny
silver wrist strap very
nice and then we have a little baggie that's made of very soft material to
store the flip in and then on on the
other side okay so we see how this comes oh it even includes the uh composite
cable that's pretty nice okay so we can put that back in
there okay so why don't we have a look at the unit itself so first of all let's
get this blue plastic uh tab lifted up
here there we go so the Flip HD just like that so there is our lens and let's
see you know what I'm actually going to get that quick start guide out so that
it can guide me through what everything on here is so first of all this is the
power button second of all this is the wrist strap hook so that's where you
hook up your your shiny silver wrist strap all right number three is the
tripod mount which is on the bottom oh I even oh it's too bad I have
a little tripod that would fit that if I'd known I'd have grabbed it so I could show you there is the lens right inside
there five is your recording light which is around here somewhere and then six is
your mic and then the USB latch this I'm interested in so you oh look at that I
guess that's the flip part so oh that's
kind of cool so there you go so you put it in like that so you hold you press
this little button and Bam out it comes just like that and then you put it back
in and it folds oh that's pretty neat
okay so what else do we have on here there's your TV
out and then there is uh what else let's
see let's see if I can power it on where's the power button oh that's too bad it doesn't come
charged oh well there's your record button there
is your back and forward these seem to be touch sensitive buttons which is
pretty neat there's play there's uh 12
what is that that's the delete button right there okay 11 is play 13 is record
yep okay up down oh this is good okay so
the up button this is what you touch to zoom and then this one you touch to zoom
out while you're paused you can touch to skip to the previous video here and
during playback you can touch and hold to rewind so similar for the forward one
so the the controls are actually pretty pretty good I'd love to be able to show
you the screen but I guess we'll have to charge it before we can do that okay
well thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Flip HD and uh I hope
you enjoyed it
