@driftwood I don't have a gh3 yet. but if its hacked I will sure buy one. Intact myself I am waiting for the first GH3 hack release. Anyway I will keep gh2 moon t5 for close and mid and drew net 8 for wide as u mentioned. Lol.
@RRRR Hi mate, I'd try moon T5 for close-up/mid shots and less busy wides, and DREWnet T8 for high detail wides :-)
@Maya For a start there is a b frames issue with the 5DmkIII, the rate control method is strange, only two or three internal 'weird' scaling matrices are used (and automatically selected) for auto, sharper, softer depending on the bitrate employed, and a few other probs that Ive learned. This no doubt will be improved by the Magic Lantern team eventually. Currently, I prefer the GH3 over the 5DMKIII.
Looking at test results of both cameras if it were me, Id be using the GH2 as the A cam - but thats my choice - do some tests first and see which YOU prefer tbh.
@Maya It refers to the level (version?) of h264 codec. It doesn´t mean that the encoder does a superb job automatically.
@driftwood Shooting a music vid on sunday.. 5600k/daylight only. Will use an fs700 with a flat profile for some shots, gh2s for others (locked down ones, mainly). Haven´t been keeping up to date with your awesome work of late (the earlier version of cluster I´ve been using has been great, whenever called upon - though I´d like a bit more information to play around with afterwards in this one) so if you´d care to share which setting you´d set up for the circumstances as described above - I´d be very thankful!
@driftwood High level 5.1 MKIII?? is it something means that we cannot shoot better than 5D MkIII with Gh2 Hacks?? if so should i only go with 5D??
@Maya 5D MKIII is High Profile Level 5.1 - but some elements of the encoder aren't brilliant on analysis and that includes the Intra codec on the Canon. Use GH2 as A cam and IPB modes on the Canon (B Cam) if it was me. As for the GH2, DREWnet Cluster Trial 8 hi bitrate Long GOP and Intra settings: moon T3 thru to T5 are all very good.
can anybody help, my sis and myself shooting a test video with a 5D mark III and GH2. Which patch shoots better or equal to 5D Mark III all Iframe Mode?? Please mention a patch which shoots better than 5D Mark III in all wide mid and close up. ( i found Cluster x T3 to be best by reading comments, does it do better than MK III??)
@dado023 thank you :-) i used cluster 6 nebula, filmmode standard all -2, walimex fisheye, voigtländer 17mm, olympus 45mm, SLR Magic HyperPrime 12mm
@pop24 hack? lens? film mode and subsettings?
BTW: video looks amazing
@Astro - Killer!
@Driftwood Thank you for your answer, forgot about Canis Majoris 'Green Screen', I will try this one and moon on a green screen soon. Haha I had the same idea, especially during the extreme close-ups ;)
@Maya Intravenus v2 and Moon are extremely different settings. Intravenus = very high bit rate at all time -> low picture quantization. Best to use in low detailed scenes. Moon = high bit rate + high picture quantization = extra room for intense detailed scenes. Best to use in ... Everything (preferably not wide busy scenes).
@driftwood,I live in El Ejido, very close to Almeria
@kris best if you pm me
DREWnet looks to be a safer, middle-of-the road
The developers can correct me if I'm wrong, but this would appear to be a common misconception. Drewnet should, in theory, offer greater detail than any intra setting possible on the GH2, thanks to its long GOP structure.
Where it might be inferior to an intra setting is capturing motion. But for standard dramatic material -- not stock car racing or sports -- you'd probably never see the difference.

You've just repeated yourself @kris Are you a machine?!
@driftwood, I only live here, welcome!
@kris Westworld! :-) Are you gonna be in town this weekend?
I only live here, welcome!
Hi there I recently tested moon t5. I personally feel Intravenus v2 does better than moon series. bitrate of moon t5 is much lower than Intravenus v2 is it the nature of these patches?
that seems pretty western to me ;) oki dokie!

Filming in Cabo de Gata, Spain this weekend. Europe's only desert in Almeria. Spaghetti Western time... :-) Anyone who can recommend any locations in this area let me know.
Any test on GF3? I tested Cluster X and didn't work well. Any ideas?
