Yes I will 3D print it, but first got to make all work

The parts will be here tomorrow... Let see if it works...
Portability is not a big problem, I'm going to design an enclosure, like a grip, to put all that stuff together under the camera. I'll share the 3D model.

Inside the USB portable package, the discs are SATA ones so this would ad a unneeded conversion : IDE -> USB -> SATA instead of IDE -> SATA. I don't know if it slows down the data transfer but it surely consume more power.

Sorry, I'm not good at posting pics, hope I'll be better at engineering this CF HDD !

Here is the IDE/SATA converter

Hi all,
I just ordered all that stuff.



I'm going to make the small board to connect the CF extension to the ide port.
If it works, my idea is to build an enclosure, with my 3D printer, that replace the removed door, protect the ribbon that have to point down and maintain safely the boards and DD under the grip. The aim being to keep it as run an gun as possible.
I have a question about alimentation, how to use the 7,5v from the grip LPE6 to power up the 5v recording system ?

And about 8 bits quantization, is it hardware dependent or is it possible to push it up to 10 ?

SDHC Sandisk Ultra - Class 4 - 15 MB/s - 16 GB / No error - TEST.DAT = 1 025 000 octets  2 cards tested
SDHC Lexar FULL-HD VIDEO - Class 8 - 8 GB / No error - TEST.DAT = 1 025 000 octets 1 card tested
CF Sandisk Extreme - 60 MB/s - 32 GB / No error - TEST.DAT = 1 025 000 octets  4 cards tested

Up for testing too!
If ML must stay on a single card I also prefer on the SD one to keep CF higher speed for data.
Tomorrow I'm going to US for a doc and I miss ML on my 5D3 (

Hi all,

Thanks for your great job and really happy to hear that things are on a good way.

I used a couple of 60D in tv documentary production for one year with great results. I would never have tried that without ML. Now I would like to switch to my brand new 5D3 !

All you can do is highly appreciated but here is what is most important for my video use :

- Analog audio gain control with separated values for each channel.

- Audio graphic monitoring in the upper black part of the screen like others ML. Canon implemented one indeed but so badly located and small!

- Possibility to adjust the audio output level - essentially louden

- Same iso treatment as ML 2.3

- Expo override 1/25e

- Zebra, focus peak, histogram, magic zoom, discrete virtual horizon

- Possibility to flip the screen vertically and/or horizontally in order to use a small mirror system to compensate the lack of rotating screen.

All you can do to enhance video quality is also very welcome : higher bitrate, clean 4.2.2 on HDMI, HDR in 1080p25...

Just an idea/question : is it possible to make raid 0 using the 2 slots, with 1 sd and 1 cf of same capacities, to be able to record very high bitrate or fps?

Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.
