Cisco revamps Flip UltraHD and MinoHD camcorder lines
While the new line of Flip camcorders don’t look radically different in an aesthetic sense, they do increase the product line’s technical abilities and consumer appeal while revamping the high-definition functionality of the UltraHD and MinoHD platforms.
More pointedly, the two-hour UltraHD comes with the new FlipPort accessory connector and can record video content in 720p at a frame rate of 60 frames per second (fps), which is a significant improvement over the 30fps rate held by the one-hour version.
Both of the new MinoHD devices record at 720p and 60fps.
In a move to make Flip video capture even smoother than ever before, the newly tweaked devices also come equipped with enhanced digital image stabilisation technology to cut down on unwanted camera shake.
Other features evident on all the new cameras include the usual flip-out USB connector, video capture via MP4, an HDMI-out port for playback on a high-definition television, and the proprietary FlipShare software platform.
The 8GB UltraHD Flip comes with a two-hour rechargeable battery and can also run on AAA batteries, while the 4GB UltraHD offers one hour of operation via AAA batteries.
The two new UltraHD additions are priced at $200 USD for the 8GB model and $150 USD for the smaller 4GB version. The 8GB MinoHD costs $230 USD, while the 4GB model costs $180 USD.
