Here's a little documentary I did for my artist friend about a group of artists out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Doc was shot with a Canon 50D in RAW mode. Audio was done with a shotgun mic. Syncing was done with a slate and synced manually in post.

Can anyone help me with configuring the make file for compiling ML unified? I'm running Yagarto 4.7.2 on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.3. Using MacHg 0.9.25 - Mercurial SCM 1.9.2. The result is a 61KB autoexec.bin file.

Here is my make file configuration and the output of make command in terminal.

1671-712-MBP:Magic-Lantern-Unified lanadministrator$

Hey, does anybody has or have any experience with the GoPro Hero 3 black edition? How has it worked for you?

I have been reading the reviews on Amazon and they are horrid! I want to get several of these little cameras but I'm very taking aback by the negative reviews it's getting. I'm not sure if I should get one!!

I'd rather hear some opinions from you guys . . . not that they might be any different . . .

OK,  I've got some spending money that I intend to invest on a new Camera - courtesy of Uncle Sam.

Basically I'm torn between getting the 5DM3 (Expensive!) or the 5DM2 (older but more affordable). I've read some reviews on the 5DM3. Some basically paint it as nothing more than a slightly upgraded 5DM2. In fact many say that the image quality of the two cameras is the same except for improved noise in low light for the 5DM3. More so, the biggest problems that plagued the 5DMarkII - moire and aliasing, can be fixed with the VAF-5D2b filter. Rolling shutter can now also be handled in post with the After Effects Rolling Shutter Repair effect. So the question is; is it worth it to fork out so much more money for the 5DM3, when you can get a comparable-quality 5DMK2? Not to mention the fact that with the money I would save I could get a better lens than the basic 50mm I would get with the 5DM3. Another big concern I have is that it is rumored that a canon 2k or 4k DSLR is around the corner!!! So I don't want to be left out of 2K.

What do you guys think?

Should I get the MarkIII or get a MarkII, fix the issues, and wait for a 2K or 4K DSLR?

  I installed the December 1st nightly build but now Global Draw does not work properly - the bottom status bar is now covered by part of the camera's Live View. Has anyone come across this issue? Does anyone know which was the last build where Global Draw was still working on the 50D?

Guys, Canon just announced a firmware update for the 5DMIII - uncompressed 8-bit, 4.2.2 HDMI out. It will be out April 2013. I believe this is great for us filmakers. What I'll like to know is if this in any way could be leveraged by ML to port to other cameras such as the 7D r 60D?

Any thoughts on this anyone?

Just in case you guys cannot wait til Canon updates it's software suite - If you have a Mac running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion, Canon EOS Utility is broken. The workaround is to install an older version of the software. EOS Utility V2.10.4 works pretty well with Mountain Lion. I have tested it with my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with all the latest updates applied. All features work. Basically, to install, first delete the entire "EOS Utility" sub-folder found in the "Canon Utilities" folder in Applications. Decompress the downloaded zip, mount the image file and run the install. It should work.

You can download EOS Utility V2.10.4 here:

Hi guys,

Recently I bought a tascam DR-40 field recorder to use with my 50D running magic lantern. The DR-40 works pretty well with the internal mics (very little noise), but when I connect an external mic (and I have tried several different good quality mics - with and without phantom power), there is a lot of noise present ( there's a very present sound hiss as well as athe a tic of the LCD screen as it changes characters on the display. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience with this recorder? I'm seriously thinking about returning it and getting a different model.
