Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Flip Video Power Adapter

Customer Review: Nickel and dimed
Summary: 1 Stars

[I don't know if it was intended to be this way, but this is textbook nickel and diming the valued customer. The Flip camcorder comes without a charger and the proprietary charger (this one) comes without a charging cord.]


I thought I'd get the charger for my Flip MinoHD because its non-removable battery can only be charged through a computer USB port OR the Flip's own adapter and I CAN imagine instances where I don't want to carry a laptop around so that I could charge a pocket-sized camcorder. I also did not like the way the MinoHD plugs into the laptop and hangs there, charging for hours, suspended by the USB arm.

Well... $24.95 later (that's what I paid at the Flip site) it turns out that there's just 'one more thing' needed to make this work the way I want it to. I couldn't imagine it possible and I didn't check before ordering but the charger came WITHOUT a cord so the MinoHD has to hang off the charger by its USB arm again while the charger itself plugs into the wall outlet (weird).

I really wish the Flips were compatible with standard chargers. The way they are now, while allowing us to take good videos on the cheap, they also complicate life more than they should. It's one star because I don't like its design/ergonomics, I don't like the concept of asking the customer to spend more on a NEEDED wire and because I'm returning it.


Note:

I found that the USB Travel Charger for SanDisk Sansa Clip/ Sansa Fuze/Sansa View/Sansa e200 is perfect at charging my MinoHD and almost a steal, pricewise. You will need a cord, unless you want your MinoHD hanging off its USB charging arm while charging.
