    Here's another picture to show that nothing can be done to move the camera forwards. They really should not be selling this as a GH1/2 cage

    @feha How did you get the GH2 to fit the cage properly? I just got the cage and it fits the GH1 perfectly, but not the the GH2. Since the GH2's bottom thread is located in a different position, this causes the camera to be shifted forward and now the battery and SD port is blocked. As you can see from the pictures, the cage does not allow me to shift the camera forwards or back.

    Picture attached for those interested

    This is not amazing, it is typical.
    Most of them are pros in marketing, sales, design, CNC programming :-)

    Always amazes me that people in the camera business put out promo videos of such astonishingly poor quality. They should use an ad campaign that says "Buy our products so your videos won't look as shitty as ours do!"

    Yeah I hear ya. I usually use a lens stabilizer on the rails for that.

  • redbaronredbaron

    @LumixUser if you look on the bottom left side, he has placed some sort of clamp that looks to keep the camera from twisting.

  • redbaronredbaron

    Yeah, I was going to see if it lines up using a 1/4" to hotshoe adapter.

  • fehafeha

    @redbaron, exciting, can't wait for your review ...

  • redbaronredbaron

    Just ordered mine. I'll post pics when it comes in.

  • fehafeha

    @tonalt, i hope it does ... $299 + $120 (shipping) + $80 (tax-customs,in Sweden) ... it is about 377 EURO almost the price of ReWo cage ... it is too much to risk at present time ...

    I made a request too for GH2 cage few weeks ago. Wonder if you can access battery without removing camera from the cage. Hope those holes are standard 1/4 threads, unlike with some of newer cages from Gini.

  • rockroadpixrockroadpix

    Yeah, I know, bad display on their part.

  • fehafeha

    @rockroadpix Sorry that is not my video, it is Gini's, i did not had a chance yet to buy it (in order to make own review ... @maxdvz you are right the price is very high for promotion (as ReWo) ... At ebay i find two Gini sellers gini-2011 has not listed yet, gini778 has listed ...

  • maxdvzmaxdvz

    It's up now at a very high starting price. Someone has placed a bid on one starting at $299. This is pretty high considering he has been letting his non-gh2 cages sell for around $99 lately.

    No real rewards for early adopters of Gini products but so goes the bleeding edge of technology.

    It would have been nice to see the bottom side... I don't know what the deal is with ReWo, but they have been out of stock for more than a month.
