    @rajamilk: Here are a few clips i've made. All unhacked though. I'm very late in the game but i'm excited to start testing and using V/Driftwood's work. I'm planning on getting the 100-300 soon and will go forward. This is a great lens for shooting animals. Do you have it? I tend to use ETC alot.

    @evanflys why couple of hairs looks so pixelated @ bottom?

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @tonalt Because E=MC².

    @Driftwood, Ive just stopped using Mysteron since it randomly freezes my camera even with a 45 mb/s 32gb sdhc card..

    Right now I'm using Driftwood Quantum X (v3b Rocket).. It's great and gives bitrates that works well on the gh2.

    My question is if the Driftwood Quantum X (v3b Rocket) the best variable bitrate patch you have to offer or should I consider some other and newer release? You have so many settings.... =P.

    Thank you!

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @Adde What sort of stuff are you filming is my first question? Is it filmic or TV style docu work?

    @artiswar Nice work there. Do you film Weddings or were you part of the family?

    @atticusd Looks like you had a good time there! I think it looks bloody good considering the lengths you had to push ISO. Congrats.

  • strancalistrancali

    Cluster v6 quick test

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Good innit?! @strancali Very nice image in HD. Thanks for testing.

  • strancalistrancali

    Thanks Nick, still trying to get all this down :)

  • driftwooddriftwood

    That's a cute kid you got there: Really good clean /crisp image of him. Could you try out some of the HBR modes and use iA modes too. It'd be nice to see how that resolves. Also try 720p modes.

  • strancalistrancali

    Thanks Nick, for sure I'll try those settings out tomorrow :)

    Here's some Cluster v5.1 footage shot at church today, 85mm Zeiss with ETC at ISO 320. Uploaded the raw MTS file straight to YouTube. I thought the camera mic sounded great (thanks for the audio improvements too!)

  • jclmediajclmedia

    cant wait to try out this new cluster v6. everytime i see a new gh2 episode on drewnetwork i always watch them. good info on there

  • AddeAdde

    @driftwood I am shooting quite much docu work but want it to look filmic... And i always use HBR modes since I live in EU. All my work is viewed om the webb or DVD....

    So that's why I am running rocket as my setting, what do you think?

  • tonalttonalt

    @driftwood you got the formula wrong ;) It's E=mc².

    Does the audio hack disable camera preview ability?

  • consciusconscius

    Cluster V6 is looking really really good. Did some little tests. (tried HBR, 720p50 and 1080p24) Next week I'm going to greece, taking the GH2 with me. I was looking for a good patch to take with me.. Well I've fond one: Cluster V6 :)

  • mo7iesmo7ies

    Is there, or is there not, a way to tell which hack is currently installed on your GH2?

    It starts to look a bit like A Scanner Darkly. Unsure what the hack is installed at every given moment on the given camera...

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Not yet @mo7ies. And perhaps never ... unless VK can inscribe something into the menus!

    *** NEW *** Cluster v6 'DREWnet' 12/15 GOP implementation - The Ultra Reliable Setting is now released. See page 1.

    • iA recordings in HBR look stunning.
    • 720p60 modes span and look great. Ditto 720p50.
    • 720 modes with Etc and iDynamic on High actually works.
    • You DON'T neccesarily need the best sdcard for this setting.
    • 24pH / L Both look great and will regularly resolve the target Q of 16 where possible.
    • Tested over the last week by twelve beta testers to enable it to just 'work' on GH2 and GFx.
    • Incorporates the best of Orion & Sedna matrices which will mix well with GOP1 recordings.
    • Tested for reliability to work on Panasonic lenses, 14-42 (and X lens version), 14-140, 20mm pancake, 7-14mm ASPH, 45-175mm X lens. Therefore any other lenses should have no problems.
    • Very nice motion
    • 6 GOP version using the same stats ratios as the 12/15 GOP for even higher quality coming soon.

    Some of the earlier work over at DREWnetwork... Humerous and insightful. Hopefully, they'll be taking a look at their very own dedicated setting Cluster v6 'DREWnet' very soon :-)

    Cluster v4:

    ooh, again lost overview.. Would anyboy be so kind and explain to me what's the difference between CM SkinTone Soft and CM SkinTone Soft Crossfire? Thanks in advance. [sorry for repost, I have no idea yet]

  • todytody

    Thanks @driftwood!! Just tested the clusterv6 and it works great at fsh, 720p and ex-fsh.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @peaceonearth No difference on 24p/HBR25p/1080i50 - same as GOP1 version. Only difference is 720p60/50 employs Cluster settings.

  • tinbeotinbeo

    All I could say now is Cluster 6 will make the price of sandisk go down. No need to buy expensive extreme Pro sandisk.

  • peaceonearthpeaceonearth

    @driftwood Thank you Sir! I am very happy with these settings. (Donated several times)
