Need Someone to Install GH2 Hack ASAP - NYC

[Ned Wilson]

We have a Red shoot coming up but are using several GH2's as "crash" cameras.

I'm pressed for time and have failed to successfully install the GH2 Driftwood 176 GOP1 hack. All the patches on Personal View don't seem to download on my MBP (or anyone else's for that matter). I've tried Ptools but haven't been able to find a comprehensive list of all the settings. So every time I install the hack, something's off. Currently, I've inadvertently disabled my playback with my most recent install. We have one camera with a stable 176 hack but nobody had the good sense to write down the settings or remember where we got them from. We need to install it on our other two cameras.

I'm based in NYC and will pay someone to come to our office install and test this hack. Needs to be done tomorrow.

Any help would be appreciated. Ideally, I'd love someone in person to do this in NYC, but if you can walk me through either over the phone or set up a proper tutorial, list every setting in Ptools and it works, I can pay you. I'm a working DP in NYC. I've got a good reputation on this site for buying and selling gear. In short, you will get paid.

I am by no means an expert on the topic, but from what I understand the hack that is going to be more stable and work on OSX is the 176 GOP3 hack.

Call Illya at Hotrod Cameras. I gave him the patch in a ready to install format for clients like yourself.

It's simple but a lot of Mac users can't get their head round the fact that when they save the file to their computer its a zip file. Rename it to a file you understand with a .zip extension if you get confused by the elongated naming which sometimes happens. Then unzip it and place it in your ptools 3.63d folder, rerun ptools to see it (its in one of the buttons to load labelled A-J). save to sd card, flash camera. Done! Also you have to be logged in to download stuff - so register if you havent already - its free. Download seAQuake - its the latest and greatest INTRA patch - see for yourself.
