I asked my family for a Flip Mino for the Holidays not quite knowing what I wanted to do with it. The idea of having a video recorder available at any time though was appealing. It’s been two months now though and I’ve yet to use the thing. It isn’t as if I’m intimidated by the thing it is easier to use than a point and shoot camera. There is only a big record button on the back that also stops it. Simple. I’ve just not thought about recording anything. I spent last weekend in Mendocino, a perfect spot for filming little bits of my life, but forgot to throw the thing into my pocket. I’ve also thought of carrying in my car to record random things I see around me. I don’t know how useful this is unless I come across a case of police misconduct or a crime in action. So far though I’ve been lucky enough to not experience these things.
So I’ll just throw out the question: If you had a compact recording device what would you record with it? How would you use it effectively?
