I want to thank Jason (hathcocked) for sharing this idea with me. He answered all my questions and made the hack that much easier to do knowing that he had performed it successfully.
Before I got the camcorder, I was aware of its limitations and planned on doing this mod/hack from the beginning. I spent around $200 on this entire project; camcorder and all ($120 for the Flip MinoHD on my local Craigslist; and around $80 for the Kenko and Lensbaby lenses from Amazon).
I bought this:

I also used Gorilla Super Glue (http://tinyurl.com/mpzn4x) and some sandpaper to scuff up the 30.5 - 37 mm adapter ring (the one I used).
I got the adapter ring centered over the lens as best I could (which was the hardest part). I recommend performing this mod to these type camcorders since you get so much more capabilities/versatility from the device. You know you like my tripod I made http://www.instructables.com/id/Pocke...
Thank-you guys for watching, rating, commenting, and subscribing. Take care everyone...
