For those of you who are a little worried the workflow is beyond your depth, it's not hard at all.
Here's what I did:

A: Downloaded magiclantern-Nightly.2018Sep02.5D2212.zip from waza: https://bitbucket.org/waza57/magic-lantern/downloads/

B: Deleted the files on my card, copied the build files over, and went through the installation process.

C: Loaded the modules adtg_gui / crop_rec / mlv_rec & rebooted.

D: Enabled Crop mode in the Movie menu, and selected 3.5k 1:1 centered x5.

E: Enabled Raw video (MLV), went to liveview, and pressed the zoom button once to enter 5x mode.

F: Entered settings on the Raw video module and scaled my resolution up to 2880 x 1080.

G: Set my bit depth to 10bit and pressed record!

Followed this and the footage looks great on my computer! But when I zoom into 5x to shoot, the LCD only shows a frozen image with pink tint, so there's no way to use the live view for framing. What am I missing?

Also using a Komputerbay 1000x 64gb card and I'm able to record for about 20s before a dropped frame.

Looking up now , 
I'm taken baby steps , able to increase the height now with
c0f06088 , A & B timers , target height is 2160 -- I'm at 1760

I'm a big fan of the work you've been doing for the 5D2! When I check back into the ML forum it's basically just to see what progress you're making. Big thank you for the recent achievements! How's the working coming along with increasing the height? Have you been able to save any footage at 1760px?

Hello Everyone. I have two quick questions when running ML on a 5D Mark II please:

1 - I have focus peaking enabled in ML, but when I have the lens set to manual focus, and I am using live view, I don't see any focus peaking lines. Do I need to enable something else in order to get the focus peaking working?

2 - When I zoom now on a photo that has already been captured by the camera it first zooms all the way in to 100% zoom in one single click, rather than by small increments. It used to zoom in small increments a little at a time before I installed ML I believe. Is there a way to set the zoom to work the default way that it used to (in small increments) when running Magic Lantern?

Cheers...

I'm having this same issue, did you happen to find a solution?

Currently I use MLVFS for MLV -> CDNG, I'm debating whether to add SlimRaw for compression to save on HDD space. The biggest advantage for me would be the ability to delete my original MLV files afterwards and save the compressed CDNGs for offline/online editing. But I read in this thread many users advising to keep the original MLV files, is this because later advances/improvements to programs such as MLVFS will increase the quality of the original CDNGs?

Can someone explain this to me? Thanks

I'm sure you will get much more interest if you can post some video of the design in action, showing things like recording speed.

I agree, if you can show examples of what's capable and get yourself a nice battery grip mimicked design, you might find yourself  with a sweet kickstarter!

Thanks for the info

I wouldn't say you loose that much data, it's negligible, you would loose all the benefits of not having processed the image though. Everything from white balance, noise reduction, sharpening would bring out more artefacts etc. But it would probably very subtle.

I'm a little unsure of the difference between raw and TIFF, I thought TIFF was just a container, so it just 'held' all the raw data, changing nothing?

For instance if you set a white balance in ACR and convert to a TIFF, is that white balance still 'raw' or is it baked in? And if you adjusted nothing and put sharpening/NR to zero, does the TIFF file still contain the extra data (exposure leeway) that you could have adjusted in ACR?

I see a lot of people saying they want to be able to grade in Resolve with CinemaDNG, and I understand it'd be more convenient that way, but are you losing any data when you grade with converted TIFF files from ACR?
