Is there a volume control? A mute would be great.

I have tons of clips with wind.
Can't hit play without distorting my speakers when im working.

Is there an audio adjustment in MLVapp ?

My (audio) recording settings (in Canon menu) are set as low as possible, and my videos are (overload) crackling in the audio.

Using EOSM, and there is no "quieter" microphone setting. Unless it's inside MLVapp or Magic Lantern. The audio is useless.

Take your time, but ... eventually... when will a user be accepted into the fold ?

Thanks Zeek, this makes sense.  The DC-DC converter is built inside the hexagonal piece between the powerbank and the dummy. It converts the 5V coming out of the power bank to 8,4V going inside the dummy.  In this way the heat generated by the converter is dissipated outside the camera.  The dummy just contains the regular protection circuit which does not dissipate heat.  Quite clever, indeed.

I built my own external power supply using 2x 18650 lithium ion cells of 3400 mAh capacity each, connected in series for 7,4V output.  I paid 8$ for both.  For the dummy I used the case of an old battery.  I just took out the two damaged cells and connected the protection circuit inside the case with the two LiIon cells via a short cable going through the hole on the battery door.  The whole thing weighs 70 grams and allows at least 9 hours of operation without turning the camera off.  I filled 6 cards of 128 GB each with 1280x2160 footage in that time and still had some power left.  The greatest advantages of this external power supply is that you can minimize the cable length in such manner that the cable does not dangle around and is not in the way during filming and also it is fully compatible with the original EOS-M charger which takes about 5 hours for safe charging.  The full charge voltage is 8,26V and the red indicator in the camera starts blinking at about 7V.  Camera shuts down at 6,2V.    The thermal indicator never showed more than 57 deg. C at room temperature.  In regular life view the EOS-M draws about 400 mA which increases to about 420 mA while recording.  For the 18650 cells these are very relaxed operating conditions, so a battery pack like this should last forever if used in a regular manner, say every day or once in a week.  If, however, you just use your camera a few times a year, battery life will degrade quite quickly.

Thanks for this post, it helped me better understand why my dumbie battery never works.

It powers on, navigate the menu or record and suddenly cuts power. Assumed i bought a faulty one, or a break in the wire,
but the current flow makes more sense.

need to frequently & quickly delete the last recording (to save on card space).

This is for capturing live action.

just installed the nightly build for 50d
and the crop/zoom buttons are freezing the camera.
im shooting fps override to 23.95, raw 16:9, komputerbay cards, never had this issue before.

am i posting this in the right place?
