First, if the tablet has a USB port, can it provide enough power to handle a Flip HD for a sustained period? (File copying can be a bit slow.) Bear in mind that the Flip HD expects the USB port to recharge it, and I doubt that's what the tablet's designers had in mind! However, the idea raises some potential problems. I haven't tried using a Flip HD camcorder with a tablet, so perhaps readers can report how well it works. An hour of video per week would take up about 50GB. If you can know roughly how much you might shoot, you can estimate how much storage you will need. Copying movies from a tablet to an external hard drive would be an extra step, and would not actually provide a backup.įlip says a third-generation Flip Mino HD can capture 120 minutes of video on its 8GB of built-in memory. Tablets don't have as much built in storage, typically from 8GB to 64GB. Also, laptops and netbooks have mass storage built in, often in the form of a 320GB or 500GB hard drive. I don't think I would even use the netbook much, other than to save to it temporarily and then transfer files to a small external hard drive.įlip camcorders, and their FlipShare software, have been specifically designed to plug into a laptop's USB port in order to copy movies across, so this would be the most natural way to use one. Shall I take a netbook or a 7-inch Samsung tablet? I probably need a USB port so it all points to the netbook but I feel that netbooks are a bit outdated already.

Now I am thinking about how to transfer and store the footage. Since I will live locally, I have decided to take my Flip HD camera, a Tascam DR-05 and my Olympus XA2 with me.

But in this case, I spoke to the Flash Porter team and they have working models already.

We need a screen, and an interface that looks like what we are used to on Mac or PC. That doesn’t make us feel certain that the product is working. There are a lot of portable hard drive solutions available on the market, but none of them really make photographers feel “safe.” Most of them offer little to no LCD screen, and the more popular ones just offer blinking lights as an indication of what is happening.
