Better off getting an extra battery pack September 5, 2009 Linli Pao 18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I purchased this thinking it would be a good option for charging quickly without having to be near a computer. The reality is that the computer charging "feels" much slower than charging with your computer, but performs to the specs it lists in the manual (3-4 hours for a full charge with the adapter; 7 hours for the computer method).
One thing that I noticed is that the adapter doesn't sit well in vertical outlets. It's very light plastic and doesn't quite support a Mino HD well. I tried laying it horizontally on a power strip, which worked better. The downside was that the screen of the Mino HD got a little scratched up when it got jostled after removing it from the power strip.
For the people who want to purchase an accessory for their Mino HD, I recommend just getting an extra battery pack and charging it through your computer. It'll be more convenient and costs about the same. Losing power when you're in the middle of filming a clip is no fun. I'd say paying $10 for this adapter would be more reasonable for the quality that you're getting. Hope this review helps!
It works, but might be a little overpriced. September 4, 2009 S. Razzacki (detroit, mi) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This charger does what is says: charges Flip cameras via a USB power outlet interface. I do a lot of traveling, so it's easier to pull this out and do a quick charge than to have to pull out my laptop and plug into a USB port. This is actually a pretty simple piece of hardware that I wish came standard with the Flip cameras, and I don't think it's worth the price tag on it. But... it works.

The Power adapter puts to much charging power into the battery pack and over heats the pack and causes a shut down of the camera. The best bet is to buy a second battery pack and charge it through the USB port.
Aaron Zapata says Adapter works but makes me worry.... August 23, 2009 Aaron Zapata (Yorba Linda, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got it and have used it a few times. It doesn't stay in the sockets really tight which makes me fear that it's going to fall out with my Flip attached. It also makes my flip hang funny and I'm afraid the flip will detach accidentally. It' hasn't happened yet, but it makes me worry. It works though!

This pint sized charger is perfect for my needs as I'd need to be an acrobat to get behind my computer to charge my mino.
