Q. Both with a tripod.
A. Hi Jen:
You actually phrased your Question better when you later asked it in "Polls & Surveys"... mentioning "for vlogging" here would have been helpful.
First, you should know that the Flip series has been discontinued by its maker Cisco Systems, although they'll continue Customer Support until the end of 2013. There were a lot of customer dis-satisfaction issues (especially with the HD models) that led to its demise.
The Flips are fairly easy to use, they have a tripod thread for mounting (which some pocket-cams don't) and travel easily. But if you don't already own one, don't buy one. There are better pocket-camcorders with tripod mounts out there, for the same money.
If you or your folks already have a camcorder, you'll find that most full-size or palm-size camcorders have better quality and auto-focus features that the Flips don't. And the mikes tend to be bigger and better than the pin-hole mike in a Flip.
The other nice feature with camcorders & palm-corders is the side-mount LCD screen can be turned around to face you for vlogging sessions to make sure you (and anything you might hold up) are "in frame". The Flip LCD's are on the back.
If you are making a first-time purchase, feel free to post an "Additional Details" update with your dollar-budget, and I or another Camcorders contributor can make specific model recommendations to choose from.
hope this helps,
--Dennis C.

A. Hi Pink Glasses,
That's a lot to wish for with a budget like that. Luckily HD camcorders are not that
expensive anymore these days. For real good sound you should go for a cam with an
external mic. option but that will narrow down your possibilities budgetwise..
You can take a look here for 2013 budget camcorders :

Another option is to look for a used semi-pro cam, like this one :
