Not sure what step I'm missing with my Sandisk 64GB 95/mb card using with Sedna Q20, but I keep getting "Motion recording limitations of card" errors when shooting in 720. I've tried in-camera format, setting custom dials then fo…

Driftwood Quantum X Settings, Series 2: Sedna A, B, C
@driftwood haha but I can say the bag quality is quite good if that's any consolation. Additionally, thanks for doing what you do the best so that the rest of us who aren't as good at what you do can benefit as well. :)

Driftwood Quantum X Settings, Series 2: Sedna A, B, C
@Driftwood regarding the camera bag: don't mean to burst your bubble but I bought a Driftwood bag from a Korean department store 2 years ago.

The 50 Dollar Follow Focus. Thoughts?
I just received a confirmation e-mail that states they have created a gear version for this follow focus. They simply ask that you add 10 dollars to your pledge and you'll receive both the pulley and the gear versions. So effectively, a 60 doll…

Merlin vs other stabilizing options with GH2
@feha That Skyler Minicam looks pretty legit, I'd be interested in something like this. Too bad it has a $620 price tag to it's name, but this is definitely really cool.

The 50 Dollar Follow Focus. Thoughts?
@bostonmike I'll say. I just upgraded my pledge to the $75 banger since it's only $15 more than the $60. Plus there's more flexibility with having both the standard and larger band and pulley.

The Carbon Steadycam that was in the 24 hr deals looked pretty decent for it's price point.

The 50 Dollar Follow Focus. Thoughts?
They reached their goal of $10,000+ in one day. Was at $460 when I checked this morning, crazy. Anyways, I put in a pledge for the $60 version. If you want yours, you can still pledge at a few different levels. I'll let you guys know how it is …

A knife and two bazookas to a gun fight
@David_Cole Thanks David, footage tests look great. The GH2 footage seems to have been removed. Edit: at least the footage was up a few minutes ago. Now the post has disappeared.

Wondlan Carbon Stabilizer and mini one
This deal recently finished but I'd like to hear more reviews from people who picked up this stabilizer. I was close to purchasing this for the GH2, but still waiting to hear more comments on arm fatigue and such. Can anyone comment?

Merlin vs other stabilizing options with GH2
@Mark_the_Harp No worries, I've used the glide-cam 4000 with vest before with other cameras. @Vitaliy_Kiselev The Wondlan rig looks pretty good and people on PV seem generally satisfied with the product. I'll have to keep my eye out for …

25mm f/0.95 Voigtländer Nokton
Just bought 25mm Nokton off ebay for 943 Canadian. Can't wait to get it! Anyone know if Driftwood's settings work well with this lens?

GH2 Possible Improvements
With 3rd party batteries my GH2 doesn't show battery life, which in turn disables the auto-sleep function. During rapid shoots I'll bump or accidentally leave gh2 switched on, only to discover later that my gh2 battery drained itself silly…

Official GH2 "Stalin" hack development topic
Vitaliy, I know you hear this a billion times but keep up the great work. I've been traveling around 7 countries in the past 3 months with my GH2 and I've been keeping track of your progress every step of the way. The cam is alright, but…
