That one seems right to me. My ring is about an inch across.

I’ve found it here, for 25 bucks:

never bought in this store, thou.
can you check if it’s the same lens that you’re using, please?
also, does it cover the microphone? the ring seems big for the flip…
thanks!

Yeah, it’s a little more blurry for sure. A more expensive lens is probably better. But for 30 bucks, it’s not bad.

I like the idea of the wide angle lens. The range of the lens that comes with the Mino is horribly limited. I was trying to get footage of my son jumping on bubble wrap and I couldn’t get him and the wrap in with the room space I was in.

My concern is that when the Kenco was put on the video seemed a tiny bit cloudy. Have you noticed this yourself?

GSG,

Do you have to glue the lens mount to the flip like you would have to if using the sunpak threaded lens?

I cant decide which lens to use and if the magnetic one is strong enough if on a bike or something of that nature.

The official model number of the lens is Kenko KMW-045. I can’t find it at a reputable store online. There must be another brand. Anybody seen these magnetic lenses anywhere?

I’m with Navimaster, which Kenko lens did you get?

You didn’t go much into detail about what type of Kenko lens it is. Is it the Kenko 0.45x with magnetic mount? I can’t seem to find the right product.

Nice I was google in for this camera video quality and I found some really good results I think is a great video camera to carry with you on the go. Some I’m definitely getting one really soon!

And in answer to Chris if you read on earlier post that question has been already answer, it cant be use as a webcam.

Hey Nick,
Hope the shoot went well and I’m excited to see what you have been working on.
Could the Flip HD Mino work as a web cam as well? essentially like the iSight?
oh and you should do your own DVD tuts.

Thanks for all your time and thoughts!
