So today we're going to be doing a quick unboxing of the cameraman's wallet is
0:04
this APC brand whatever that is it's all shiny because it appears to have been
0:08
used a lot now in here he has an NC
0:12
Advantage membership card check that out that's pretty cool he's also got some
0:17
credit cards and oh this is good think
0:20
twice so this is a good advice for anyone who's reaching for the cards you
0:24
know and uh yeah so he has no money
0:28
that's why he needs to think twice between before using his cards no I'm
0:33
just kidding that's not what I'm unboxing today I'm going to be having a look at the minnow HD flip video
0:38
camcorder so let's get the uh plastic off of here first and then we'll uh get
0:43
a little bit further into it we'll have a look at the Box the features all that
0:47
good stuff okay so it's got kind of a shiny SL matat box on the side it shows
0:53
that it records 60 Minutes of footage and it
0:57
seems to have a USB interface to your computer so that'll make things fairly
1:00
simple it is a shoot and share in HD
1:04
device you can record it has OneTouch HD recording instant playback and delete
1:08
internal rechargeable battery okay you can the built-in flip share software
1:13
allows you to save organize and edit videos watch instantly on TV and then
1:16
you can share snap still photos from videos make custom movies and email
1:20
videos and publish online okay that's cool so oh publish online so you can
1:24
upload your videos directly to Myspace or YouTube this is probably the more
1:28
relevant one okay this says the same thing so why don't we break the seals
1:32
and have a look at what is inside oh now I'm Wrecking the
1:39
Box okay so the first thing we will find is a black
1:44
box okay so the unboxing continues and
1:48
hopefully this doesn't end up like one of those Russian dolls where it's like
1:51
just taking one box out of another box okay so Min HD oo okay they get like A+
1:58
for presentation here this is kind of like opening an iPhone
2:02
or another sort of high-end electronic device um which it is it's a high-end
2:07
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
2:14
a quick start guide in French Let's ignore the French one and look at the
2:18
English one there it is so it is get started camcorder features so it's got a
2:22
power button wrist strap hook tripod mount even okay lens recording light
2:27
microphone USB latch USB ARM play button
2:30
lots of buttons okay well we'll have a look at all the buttons when we actually
2:34
get the unit out it uses a sealed rechargeable
2:37
battery okay save edit and share connect to your computer okay well oh this is
2:42
interesting so it has um yellow red white composite output just right from
2:47
the device that's pretty neat okay here we have
2:51
a warranty card which explains the
2:54
warranty which is this is not a toy
2:57
never allow children to play with the camc quar I do not see how long the
3:02
warranty is but I'm sure that you can 90
3:06
days okay so it has a 90day warranty
3:13
H okay let's see what else we have in here so there's a little shiny shiny
3:18
silver wrist strap very
3:21
nice and then we have a little baggie that's made of very soft material to
3:26
store the flip in and then on on the
3:29
other side okay so we see how this comes oh it even includes the uh composite
3:34
cable that's pretty nice okay so we can put that back in
3:40
there okay so why don't we have a look at the unit itself so first of all let's
3:44
get this blue plastic uh tab lifted up
3:48
here there we go so the Flip HD just like that so there is our lens and let's
3:54
see you know what I'm actually going to get that quick start guide out so that
3:57
it can guide me through what everything on here is so first of all this is the
4:01
power button second of all this is the wrist strap hook so that's where you
4:05
hook up your your shiny silver wrist strap all right number three is the
4:09
tripod mount which is on the bottom oh I even oh it's too bad I have
4:13
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
4:18
there five is your recording light which is around here somewhere and then six is
4:25
your mic and then the USB latch this I'm interested in so you oh look at that I
4:31
guess that's the flip part so oh that's
4:35
kind of cool so there you go so you put it in like that so you hold you press
4:38
this little button and Bam out it comes just like that and then you put it back
4:43
in and it folds oh that's pretty neat
4:46
okay so what else do we have on here there's your TV
4:49
out and then there is uh what else let's
4:53
see let's see if I can power it on where's the power button oh that's too bad it doesn't come
4:58
charged oh well there's your record button there
5:03
is your back and forward these seem to be touch sensitive buttons which is
5:07
pretty neat there's play there's uh 12
5:11
what is that that's the delete button right there okay 11 is play 13 is record
5:18
yep okay up down oh this is good okay so
5:21
the up button this is what you touch to zoom and then this one you touch to zoom
5:25
out while you're paused you can touch to skip to the previous video here and
5:29
during playback you can touch and hold to rewind so similar for the forward one
5:33
so the the controls are actually pretty pretty good I'd love to be able to show
5:37
you the screen but I guess we'll have to charge it before we can do that okay
5:40
well thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Flip HD and uh I hope
5:45
you enjoyed it
