It was our last Tuttle on Greek Street on Friday.
Quite a turn out plus we had cake and champers. I got the impression that the excitement about a move to the ICA outweighed any sadness at leaving our old quirky venue.
Do come along this Friday of you can. The sign up wiki is here.
And If you missed it last week then here are some bits and bobs from the morning including some excellent ukulele playing from Lloyd:
That should also give you an idea of the Flip Mino’s quality.
Flip sent me a Mino on 12seconds.tv
Testing it properly tomorrow. Full specs and stuff here.
A couple of weeks after mentioning The Flip I finally got my grubby little hands on one. I went to the European launch this evening and came out with one for free (and a lot of beer mats). Nice little event. No hard sell, great venue (The Soho Hotel) and free food and drink. I would have been impressed if they hadn’t thrown free cameras at everyone…
I did a short(ish) unboxing video:
And had a conversation about the thing on Seesmic and Twitter. I also threw some FLIP video up on YouTube. You can see it here, but the built in software (and by built in I actually mean built into the device which is handy) seems to have over compressed the video. The sound especially is weird. I just reviewed the raw file in fullscreen and its actually very impressive considering the price of the camera.
I’ll take it along to tomorrow’s Tuttle if anyone wants to have a play with it.
I’ll be writing more about it and have some very particular ideas in mind in how to use it, but for now I need a coffee and am weirded out by using a white Macbook (mine is in for repair at the Apple store).
Once I get all my kit back I’ll really put the thing through its paces, but for now I’m quietly impressed.
Handy little bastard indeed.
