I shoot mostly skateboarding and sports, im using flowmotion 2.02 right now i think, any other good hacks out there that i should be testing out? I have 16gbSDXC 95mbs card.

Thanks for any advice.

I have installed the "No adverse affects" hack; the way to tell if the hack has been taken by the camera is to look at the recording times on the SD card, before and after any hack's installation (set to 24P Cinema mode); after any hack, it's my understanding that the recording times shown on the card will be less (because the files resulting from any hack have higher bit rates and hence will show less (lower) recording times.

And I can say from experiments over this last week since installing this particular hack, recording in 720p/60 will yield footage that can be slowed well (I use Final Cut Studio).

@FrankAbyss did you try the Flowmotion by LPowell?

Looking for a settings recommendation for 24p narrative film making. Image quality is king, file size not a concern, short takes are fine. Have a sandisk extreme pro 96 card. Thanks!

I have not been around these forums in a long time. What's the general consensus for a great all around 24P setting that wont lock up or freeze? Like to use it making commercials and corporate videos so it has to be reliable.

I have 64gb 95mbs extreme pro cards.

Also what about a 720p 60 setting for slow motion?

Hey everybody! First of all I want to thank everybody involved in this forum and hacking the GH-Series! I've been silently reading here for about a year now and I think I've probably learned more than in some of my Filmlessons at the University. So, as my upcoming Projects are getting bigger, I'd like to finally hack my GH2. But I'm slightly overwhelmed by the quantity of hacks out there, and thus having read a lot I still can't figure out which fits me best. I hope I can get here a clue of what hacks have been reliable for my purposes. I shoot mainly narrative shorts, well-lit and color graded afterwards. I am searching for a better overall image quality, more detail in the shadows and less noise (or at least less digital-looking) and artefacts when grading. I use a 32Gb and a 16GB SanDisk Extreme 45MB/s and preferably the hack should work with those. About Spanning I'm concerned that the camera stops recording when covering a Master-shot. So it'd be best if spanning works or the datarate isn't xtreme (so that I can record at least around 8 minutes before the 4Gb limit is reached, that should be enough time to cover the longest scenes). I -only- use 24p so I don't care about what's happening to the other mode, but in 24p it's important that the hack is reliable.

So, what are your opinions and experiences?

My setup

• GH2
• Panasonic Lumix 20mm
• Glidecam HD1000
• Rode Videomic

• SanDisk Extreme SDHC 32 GB 45 MB/s Class 10

• I would like to shoot big landscapes while walking/running with the steadycam. Mostly with the sun.

• I would like to shoot in 720p60 for smaller file size and slowmotion where I want.
• If I have to buy another card, I will.

If you need to shoot at a 'broadcast' frame rate - i.e. using hbr mode, then you've got lots of options. I settled for flowmotion 2.2 as it had a good balance of being reliable but producing great images. If you're ok with a 24fps delivery, then the highest quality patch you can shoot with will be one of Driftwood's - lots of people like Moon, versions 5 and 7. Try these for starters.

What patch is the best for fast motion camera without strob effect at 24p?
