The Flip Video Mino is Pure Digital's follow-up to the Flip Video Ultra. The Mino is approximately 40% smaller than the Ultra with a slightly updated video compression engine and lens type. The other significant change with this version of the Flip Video series is the battery (a rechargeable lithium ion versus 2 AA), however the remaining specs have stayed essentially the same.
