Can the flip video mino be charged without a computer?

Question

I am going on a trip in the spring of 2009 and i wanted to have a decent video camera to take with me. I just want to know whether i should buy it or not. Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, the Flip Video Mino can be charged without a computer. The other option is the Flip Video Power Adapter which you plug into the wall with 4+ hours of recording per charge.

Look in the section of this page under SIMPLE TO SHOOT for more info.:

HOWEVER, the Flip Mino Video Power Adapter will not be coming out until September 15th, 2008 (which is well before your trip) according this page:

I've looked at some websites and some people say that they are using the iPod USB Power Adapter to charge their camcorders and it works.:

If It were up to ME however, i would wait and see if Flip Video comes out with a new version of Camcorder, I'm almost positive that Flip Video will come out with a new camcorder before your trip in Spring 2009, so i'd hold out a little while on buying it- but if you'd like to buy it now- then you should it's an awesome camcorder!
