Well, I searched and searched and could not find a place where a manufacturer could go to see what the demand of the current market is... So why not help them out?!?

GH2 Accessories – Cage, Matte Box, Rails, Monitor

Well, I've held off on this as long as I can. Non-paying clients have forced my hand – so I have to part with some beloved gear that I put a lot of time, research and money into acquiring together. This is a nice "full package" of GH2 shooting accessories. It includes:

• Anodized Cage with handles, rails, allen wrenches, and threaded holes, even has lips to secure camera and allows battery change without removing camera.

• Matte Box (vertically adjustable) with flags and different sized rings,

• Rails (vertically adjustable on tripod mount), both top and bottom rails

• Monitor with three batteries, hood, charger, short HDMI cable, and AC plug. Not a high-end monitor, but works well, reliable, and is great for focusing.

• Follow-focus, including two different mount heights, I can forewarn that this does have some play, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's an easy fix.

• Threaded arms and shoes mounts – work for mounting any items on cage or camera.

All is in good cosmetic and working condition (and in a nice Pelican Case), except the minor play on the follow focus which was mentioned. If possible, I'd like to sell the kit or as much together as I can. Check out pictures and make me reasonable offer if interested please.

*note this does not include the camera bodies themselves.

"Black Betty": Custom built RAW camera using SI-2K Mini & Mac Mini

CRFilms — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 02:23:32 +0000

This artice of a custom camera that was made using a SI-2K Mini and a Mac Mini in a custom housing to resemble a film camera.

http://blackbettycameras.com/first-camera/

Interesting cam. Since some old Mac Mini's use 12v unregulated power, you can rig them up to a battery. It shoots cineform raw. It reminded me of this old topic. http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/3725/4k-usb-3.0-camera-with-raw-option-less-than-1k/p1

The Flea3 costs $900(you need to register to see prices) and can do 4k at 21fps and lower res at 24fps, but not sure what res. Another cam with max res of 2k and 60fps costs $650.

Custom LED Filter

kin869 — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 19:53:38 +0000

I recently purchased the Amaran 160 LED and so far it's working great. The only complaint I have is the color output. This particular LED has a strong magenta tint that's very apparent when I use it as a fill light in daylight situations. During my search to find an affordable solution, I stumbled across this. Basically, the guy made his own filters by printing colors onto transparencies.

I know it's not too expensive to buy a pack of these filters, but with this method, I can print out any filter I want and cut out whatever size I need from it. Here's a short video I put together to show how some of these custom filters work.

Hope this is helpful to someone!

For Hackers: Adding Horizontal Line to Custom Guide.

willianaleman — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 00:58:22 +0000

The trick to simulate a cinemascope, 2.35:1 in the GH2 requires to mark the external top and bottom of LCD with a 3M tape or mobile screen guard protection to frame the subject during recording in a way that matches the crop to be done in post to achieve the desired look.

It would be helpful if a patch would add an extra moveable line to the Custom Guide, which from factory, the GH2 brings only one. The addition of the line would help in marking internally the top of the LCD and with the second one the bottom. Hackers, would be this possible?

Here is the wished two lines and GH2 factory (single) Custom Guide.

Custom picture profiles question

JPB1138 — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 20:20:47 +0000

Just looking for information, from anyone who has been working on a hack to get at the picture profiles (smooth, cinema, etc.) to try and get something FLATTER like a technicolor cinestyle preset on canon, or even like the Cine-D setting on the AF100. I'd love to see a flat setting like that. Had a rough shoot this past weekend near sunset, just a lot of shadows mixed with a lot of highlights, and im sure a lot of others have had similar issues. I used to own an AF100 and the only two things I miss are the 1080p variable frame-rates and the flat cinema-D look.

If anyone has any new info on this feel free to comment. I'd love to see this get done as the next frontier of the hack. I just don't know if its possible or if anyone is even working on it...
