I took Cluster v6 for a quick test drive using Sandisk Extreme 32GB, 30/mbs with Panasonic 14-140mm lens. All recording modes worked with no errors. All of the clips (approximately a minute each) were playable in camera with no problems. Cheers.

If all else fails, try Ralph_B's Sanity v5, it is great and super low bitrate and spans forever.

Whatever you do, I hope you are using these cards ONLY as your media for GH2: http://goo.gl/gbQf4

@EYESOUL Smart looking footage. Ive been waiting to see if someone would test & deliver some flowing water shots Thanks for this mate. Looks reeeeal gooooood. I feel like I'm with you there :-)

Thanks guys! This is a very sensitive community! I did what you suggested Nick and I cannot see any in camera preview of this file (on the bottom right corner I see 3/4 "This motion immage cannot be read"). I formatted the SD CARD before installing, also with SD Formatter utility. Nothing to do. I cannot not try to read the file because I'm now on a very old Powerbook in Bolivia, just imagine. Could you please suggest some good patch, that spans correctly, with in camera playback? I was using Quantum 50 until I realized it stopped at around 14 minutes in SL!! Any valid substitute. Tomorrow I'll have some shoot for a documentary with the landless movement in Bolivia.Deep jungle! Please

Thanks Blessing

Very true mo7ies. Thanks for reminding.

@strancali @proaudio4 thank you guys : ) It is the CLUSTER 6 - looking like the 4k photo jpegs of the gh2 ; ) @driftwood thanks Nick!

This one is again 24L, 14-42 panny at 42mm with the ExTele on and higher iso(320,400?), holds pretty good I think.

Sorry guys, but it seems that Cluster 6 and 5 are not stable on a Sandisk Extreme Pro II 64 gb 95mbs. It's my case! I cannot see previews, it seems to spans but it gives errors, card limit error. It's really a mess! What and why does it happen? Can anyone help?

Cluster v6 is what Panasonic should have run from the get go. It's my favorite setting by far. Solid as a rock and oh how sweet the IQ is ......

I've been shooting stills and factory video settings w my GH2 since 2010. However I'm brand new to video and though I've been following this forum for a while I still am figuring it out as I go. I finally hacked my firmware with the Globular patch and tried shooting with my Nokton 25mm 0.95 lens. At first I used a SanDisk class 10 30MB. The camera froze in Cinema mode w/ 24H settings. I dropped my battery and set it to 24L and it worked OK. I just bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB class 10 95MBs. So far I seem to be able to record in Cinema mode at either 24H or 24L. However my GH2 freezes and says recording stopped to to limitations of writing speed of the card when I use S, A or Manual modes. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need and even faster card? Or should I test a gentler hack?

@jhero great little film there! Makes you think about what's essential and the short time to get it done :)

@pop24 You're sure you used gh2 for that? ; )

Back to the topic, just a few screen grabs from Cluster v6. It is sharp in the nicest way possible! standard all -2, iso 160, AWB.

1 is 24H 2 and 3 - 24L .

Here's how I see it guys, a top of the line card is a must have. Think of it as part of your kit. If you're using stock gh2, no problem but if you want into the hack game, it's the most important piece of hardware in your arsenal. This is not the time to be "cheap". Save money on other things but not the very thing that will cost you a re-shoot. That will end up being more than $180 in the long run.

@pvjames Tried Quantum 9b with the Sedna matrix, think you need a 95MB/S card, i was shooting HBR and even then the card couldn't handle it. After slightly over 2 min of recording, cam locked up. Btw i was using Sandisk Extreme Pro 32Gb Class 10

Hey guys,

I tried today cluster 6 and cluster 5. Both record for more than 50min/1 hour but I'm not able to see preview with the error "This motion cannot be played". I can see preview with small files instead, 7-15 seconds? Is it a span problem? I did my test in a dark room, high iso, SH and SL, with a Sandisk extreme PRO 64 Giga 95mbs. Is there something wrong with my camera/card?
