Shot this a while back, but I thought I’d share one experience I had while visiting a rain forest exhibit. Temperature was cold outside and then stepping into the exhibit the camera immediately fogged up. Even though I wiped the lens down, it continued to fog up.

So now i’m [...]

One issue with using a GH3 camera inside of the Gearbox GB-2 is trying to access the battery door. By using the Panasonic DC Coupler (dummy battery), i’m able to use an external power source like the Tekkeon MP3450i Battery (found here). The Tekkeon battery is capable of outputting various DC Voltage including the necessary [...]

The GH3 has been a tough little camera to find at normal retail price. I’ve been thinking about a second camera body, and when I saw a deal listed under retail price, I just had to jump in on it. I’ve been really putting the GH3 to work lately, and it will be nice to [...]

If you think your GH3 camera needs and LCD View Finder, here’s how Scott Pendleton modified the Carry Speed VF-3 LCD View Finder to fit [Thanks Scott]. Typically the GH3 body is too short, so you’ll need to have the GH3 Battery Grip to start.

Here’s a few video clips from the new Panasonic GH3 camera taken while I was hanging out at the San Francisco Academy of Science. Most of the video clips were shot in high ISO due to low lighting, and everything was shot handheld (no tripods allowed in the building). I also took a few [...]
