The original Mino captured video in 640x480 resolution at 30 frames per second with later models featuring HD recording.

Its internal storage was upgraded to 4 GB while maintaining about one hour of recording time due to the increased optical resolution.

The original 4 GB MinoHD only had a 3.5mm headphone jack (4-way TRRS : Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve or A/V : audio-video) to composite (RCA) output for connecting to a television or input into other media viewing monitors.

This was a major drawback to quick viewing of videos on a high definition television, considering that the output video was captured in 720p high definition and composite cables are unable to transmit HD resolution to HD capable televisions.

IT Reviews commented that the MinoHD was a "healthy evolution of a popular product, but like its predecessors it can suffer from being a bit too simplistic and omitting some key features that may still be helpful for beginners."
