It looks like if you're using a 9VDC with a coupler, you should be just fine.

Powering GH3
Thank you for the advice! I wouldn't consider the battery excactly cheap, even from china it was about $42 American... but I hear you. I am wondering if the GH2 and GH3 live by the same spec... i.e. if one battery system works safely with the…

What about the 9V feed from the 12V-9V-5V batteries on ebay? I have one and powered up a friends GH2 with it. It worked fine as long as I ran it (about 20 minutes) with no apearent ill effects. a) What about extended use? b) Is the GH3 that muc…

I purchased an extra battery and have been testing it. I shot some video and have been playing the video back, and it is still running after 6.5 hours! That's WAY better than my GH2! After this quits, I'm going to test the battery that …

Me Again :-) I have another question about batteries for my GH3. I purchased one of the batteries that has 12V, USB, and 9V ports off of eBay. The video in the listing showed the battery powering a zoom and a GH2 using the coupler. I didn'…

Happy New Year Everyone! I ordered a battery from Video Direct Electronics. The ratings aren't great, but if you read them you could draw the conclusion that the buyers weren't always being reasonable. I have purchased from them in the …

Hey Guys Vitaliy_Kiselev - I get the hardware issue thing. nomad - I never thought of shooting 25p but I also don't remember any settings that allowed the GH2 the option of shooting at 25p?? How do you do that? I was also of the understand…

Noise on GH2 footage at ISO 160
Ian_T & LPowell, I totally agree. I purchased the GH2 just to make my personal YouuTube videos on a green screen. It was a cheap way to get good results for my personal purposes... but I became addicted to making it more usable and to use it…

GH2 and the BMD HyperDeck Shuttle Record Problems
Hi :) PAL isn't an option :-( I agree that the difference in quality between the stock AVCHD codec and even the uncompressed isn't that awe inspiring, but it does make the noise look better (less smudgy blobs that AVCHD produces and mor…

Noise on GH2 footage at ISO 160
Hello, Try replicating the problem, and then shoot the same scene with the stock firmware. It isn't perfect, but I believe you will get less noise than any patch will deliver. I know you said that you couldn't replicate the problem on l…

Feelworld monitors
Hi I like it. It doesn't have the feel of a high quality monitor in that it is very light and feels almost toy like... plastic. That is countered by the great connectors on the back, which look very professional and are solid... no rattling …

Hello, These guys are great. I didn't get any feedback anywhere else, so I contacted the seller. They responded very quickly to my question. They said that there is indeed a screen protector that the red tab was attached to. They told me t…
