    @last_SHIFT The Giottos joint isn't high end but it works well for me. If you are moving camera around a lot I'd buy a better one just to be sure. I just find it a bit loser on the GH2 than the 600D. It doesn't quite seem to fasten to the hotshoe as robustly.

    @ed_lee83 will do some HDMI testing tonight with it in ExTele mode, it was only one setting that got it to work otherwise it just gave you the prompt but not the feed. Oh and it only comes on when you hit record. Further testing required but sure we'll get there in the end.

    For me I am waiting for the sounddevices PIX 220 recorder reviews. It seems to be a killer product with hdmi prores recorder, xlr imput and monitor.

    @ed
    <<<<<HDMI output hack details, stat!! <br />Yeah, that's the Holy Grail of the GH2 hack as far as I'm concerned. The stock GH2 gets a killer image, so it may take something dramatic like HMDI 422 to a capture device to significantly raise the bar on performance.

    Devices like this really help to make the HD DSLR a modular system. It's one of the things I love about HD DSLR's. You can switch out aspects of your system and upgrade things freely. Now that the GH2 Hack is up and running the future looks bright. Rather than seeing the market die it's really just getting started. I haven't made up my mind yet which EVF i'm going to buy. The DP4 looks great tool. I'm still hoping Redrock comes out with there's. The Cineroid EVF has some nice features as well.

    @feha

    I love Mike Kobals blog - sounds like the Terminator doing gear reviews :-)

    The cheeseycam side by side was a bit rediculous since he didn't even turn the damn things on - might as well have shown prototypes.

    @EOSHD, hey don't you think the included Giottos ball head isn't butch enough? I find its a bitch to get tight and always moves around on the hot shoe. Anyway I'm getting that Manfrotto that Mike Kobal has

    I updated the new firmware. I tried the new downscale feature and the EVF crashed. Happened twice and once after going to factory default and reflashing.
  • EOSHDEOSHD
    Yep.
  • brianlucebrianluce
    Does it have an HDMi pass through so if Vitaliy enables HDMI recording we could still do it?
  • EOSHDEOSHD
    DP4 looks good. Does it do anamorphic monitoring?

    Some comparing :

    also

  • EOSHDEOSHD
    Not a lot :) But ExTele does work via HDMI I just have to change another setting to make it. Will post detailed results later.

    What my EXtele doesn't work when I'm hooked up to my ZEVF.... what am I doing wrong? Also still can't down scale the image with their custom scaling feature.

    MJPEG looks great through the EVF though (just kidding!!) LOL

    >Also now thanks to Vitaliy we can use ExTele mode via HDMI and have full monitoring for the first time with c-mount lenses in 1:1 crop mode!

    And you first tested this before writing, right? :-)
