The FLIP Finally Makes its Official Debut in Hong Kong

Cisco decides now is the time to bring the digital video recorder to HK.

If you are interested in the Flip camera you most likely already have one because you are  a gadget loving early-adopter. Now the rest of Hong Kong can finally walk into a Fortress and buy one for themselves. We guess, that is, if they don’t already have an iPhone or an Android phone which shoots some pretty nice HD video already and does so much more.

The Flip models now in Hong Kong are the Mino 4GB, Mino 8GB and Ultra HD (8GB). The 4GB Mino can shoot up to an hour of HD video while the 8GB model and the Ultra HD can film up to 2 hours of footage. All the Flip models shoot HD video 720p (1280 x 720) at 60 fps, have 2X digital zoom and built-in image stabilisation.
