I was teaching someone to install and run ML on his 5d3 today and since I only have a 5D2 and 7D i was limited to the my experience with my cams.
Using the latest bleeding edge, I did manage to get it up and running. The only thing I could not figure out was FPS over ride.
Is is still buggy on the 5d3?
Reason is, I could not get it to "behave" as expected.

At 23.976 it seems fine however I tried lowering to say 5 or 10, I was expecting the LV to be so bright already, however it seems to my eye, only the framerate is slowing down but the exposure remained unchanged.

I checked in the exposure tabe and see exposure sim is set to movie. I had my 5d2 beside it and it was behaving as expected. Was there a setting on canon menu or ML menu that I missed?

In the FPS Override tab, choose advanced and then select 'Low Light' as opposed to 'Exact Frames'.

1.1.3 modules don't work with 1.2.3.

Thanks, I won't be trying that today then

Has anyone had good or bad experiences with using the modules from the 5D3 1.1.3 nightly builds? Or is that a no-no?

I've been running the 19th Feb build for a few days and used it on a shoot yesterday for product shots.

Camera: 5D mkiii, Cards: KB 64GB 1000x & 1050x.

I shot both raw_rec and mlv_rec both at 1920x1080 25fps (mlv_snd was disabled as no sound was required). I had no problems or pink frames appeared. I had both hacks enabled and got continuous recording mostly, occasionally debug reported recording would last 1000ish frames, but then increased until continuous was reported.

Next I will test mlv_rec with mlv_snd enabled and also card spanning when I get a free day/evening. Great work on the port to 1.2.3 so I can now have a clean HDMI feed to my ext monitor

I use the Novoflex EOS/NIK and EOS/NIK NT and they work fine for me, no problems hitting infinity and all focus points are accurate.
I am now looking at getting the Redrock adapter rings that are a re-mount for Nikon glass. 3 of these adapters are about £80 as opposed to £130 for a single Novoflex.
There is a little movement with the Novoflex and long heavy lenses, so I usually mount the baseplate to the collar on my longer lenses and that solves that problem.
