Has anyone tried putting the GH4 Video converter and HDMI Cable set into the GH3 gimbal? I have read that people have used the BMPCC converter and it worked out fine just the mounting pattern was not correct. In this case the mounting pattern is correct. NOTE: I do not care about HD video, just analog video is all I need for the time being.

I read somewhere that the connections of the gh4 converter have 10 pins. The Gh3 only 8. So they didn't match... Some one can confirm ?

Well I have read up on the converters. Are there any limitations with recording formats and the GH4?

The Red converter:

The Kopterworx converter:

Kind of leaning towards the red converter since it is plug and play and has the cord for the HDMI, and plugs directly into the zenmuse converter board. All they really needed to do was make it the same form factor that is on the HDMI board and he would be selling the heck out of these things.

Well, I wanted to revist this issue again by trying to use stock components. Can someone take a picture of the GH4 HDMI converter board with the 9 pin connector in it so that we have a color code to go by, we can just take the pins out and reconfigure the plug to work if they changed the pin layout. If they added one wire to the GH4 board it will have no effect since the gh3 will not require it. A little modification to the plastic 8pin connector on existing gh3 cable and it will fit into the 9 pin slot no problem. So pictures with the cover off the HDMI cover from a GH4 gimbal please!!!!

Making another request for a picture of the GH4 hdmi board with the slip ring plug installed so that I can get a pinout for doing a conversion for the GH3 gimbal.
Thank you in advance.
