PURE DIGITAL Flip Ultra HD vs. Mino HD
13 of 14 found this helpful I was quite happy with my 2009 version of the Flip Mino HD for my intended purpose of capturing quick casual videos. I carried it everywhere, like my cell phone, so it was available when no other camcorder was. The best camcorder is the one you have with you.
One day, I planned a trip to a great snorkling spot in the Bahamas. I needed an underwater housing for my Mino, and was disappointed to discover the housing was only available for the new Flip Ultra HD. I was forced to part with my Mino and buy a new Ultra.
The Ultra is larger than the Mino, but offers several advantages to offset it's larger size. Like the Mino, it also shoots in high definition video mode at 720 lines. And it's just as easy to operate. With similar specs, I figured the image would be about the same. Much to my surprise, it was quite a bit better. It has truer more vibrant color, better contrast and is just a little sharper around the edges than the Mino. Low light sensitivity is better, too. Probably due to the newer version rendering engine, because the imaging sensor is the same.
Here are some other truly notable advantages of the Ultra over last year's Mino. It has two hours of shooting time instead of one hour (although this year's Mino does, too). The included battery pack runs 2.5 hours, but it can be removed and replaced with two off-the-shelf AA batteries. If you use lithium AA batteries, you can shoot six hours. Nice for a vacation. The mike is stereo, unlike the mono on the Mino. It also has some real bottom end to it, eliminating the thin sound of the Mino. The viewfinder is larger with more pixels, making it much more useful. Since the Ultra is thicker than the Mino, the lens sits farther back into the body. As a result, the sun shading is much better with less lens flare when shooting into the light. There is an HDMI connector to view HD video directly on an HD TV. You'll need to purchase an HDMI cable. It doesn't come with the Ultra.
If there's a weak link of this camcorder, it's keeping the image steady. There is no image stabilizer. The camera shoots 30 frames per second in progressive mode. The nature of progressive mode tends to make any image look jittery during pans or fast motion. Even though it's bigger than the Mino, you still need to learn to hold this camera rock steady with both hands when you shoot, and must pan very slowly. Careful steady shooting with a progressive camera rewards the user with a film-like effect.
The Ultra also lacks an optical zoom like all the Flips. The digital zoom is nearly useless as it just magnifies the pixel size, losing sharpness as you zoom. Better to shoot wide angle, and zoom in during the editing process. Same effect, but you have more latitude in framing your shot after the fact. The built in USB plug lets you charge the camcorder on any computer as well as transfer the files to the hard drive. Because the USB connector comes out of the side of the body and not from the top like the Mino, it puts less strain on the computer's USB jack.
For it's intended purpose of shooting casual video, it's an excellent camcorder that goes beyond most people's expectations for it's size and price. By learning it's strong and weak points, and with a little practice, a capable user can create some great videos with a Flip Ultra HD. With the underwater housing and a steady hand, the results are documentary worthy.

Small Size, Big Image
Using the Sony HDR-AS10 is a one button process. Simply push the record button, and the camera turns on and begins recording in about a second or two. Push it again, the recording stops. Then the camera turns itself off in a minute unless you press the record button again.
The image quality is quite good for an action cam, much better than the Chinese knockoffs. There are two wide angle settings - 120 degrees and 170 degrees, with 120 offering image stabilization and 170 offering the sharpest image quality.
Recording settings default at full HD 1920x1080x30 frames, but can be changed to 60 frames for better slow motion if you edit later. Lower resolution modes are available, but are not worth the savings in memory space.
Changing these and other settings requires a short learning curve and can seem difficult at first. Once learned, it's quite easy.
Battery life is a little over 90 minutes of real time use per charge, and the battery can be charged in the camera from home or auto using a standard micro USB cable, which is available anywhere.
Compared with the GoPro of the same model year and price, the Sony is slightly better in exposure, color and sharpness. Audio is much better. The stabilization isn't available in the GoPro.
Many accessories are available for the camera, the most notable being the underwater housing and helmet mount.
Unlike the cheap knockoffs, the reliability of Sony is legendary. A clean used Sony AS10 is a true bargain by comparison, and even makes a nice camcorder for normal everyday events.

Best of the Mini Antennas
This small dual band antenna is a high quality build, hard plastic shell and gold connector. It won't come apart easily if bumped while in your pocket. The beauty of this tiny antenna is the ability to carry a small Handie Talkie (HT) in your pocket without the antenna being bent or broken, as happens quite often with longer stock antennas.
Performance wise, you do give up some range. This is more apparent on the transmit end than receiving. In fact, often, almost no signal loss from a local repeater can be seen on the receive end as compared to a stock six inch antenna. On transmit, you lose about three dB of effective radiated power (ERP) compared tot he six inch rubber duck.
If your repeater is close by, or you are working simplex to a nearby station, this will suffice quite well.
