Cables: 1) Canon 5D MarkII, 2) Pana Lumix GH1

I had some cables specified for some special applications, and they were delivered and I just checked them out …

1) Canon 5D MarkII

MagicLantern performs wonderful tasks, including providing a headphone output out of the 5D AVout jack. Unfortunately, AVout plugs are TRRS 4-contact plugs, where headphones are TRS 3-contact plugs. Plus, the output level of the AVout on the 5D is low, so you will need to use an inexpensive headphone amplifier, like a $30 Boostaroo.Lumix GH1: CMC-T1772022, 8″ 3.5mm to 2.5mm stereo, approx $15.95
- Part Number for 5DMarkII: CMC-T1773341, 8″ 3.5mm stereo to 3.5mm TRRS, approx $16.95

This 8″ cable converts from TRRS to TRS, so you can plug the TRRS end into the 5D AVout, and the TRS end into the Boostaroo headphone amp input. Here is how it is wired up:

3.5mm TRS Plug:
- T: left
- R: right
- S: shield

3.5mm TRRS Plug:
- T: left
- R1: no connect
- R2: shield
- S: right

2) Panasonic Lumix GH1

The mic input of the Pana Lumix GH1 is only a 2.5mm stereo minijack, where 3.5mm stereo minijacks are more typical. This cable is a 8″ male 3.5mm stereo mini-plug to 2.5mm stereo miniplug. So, you can connect the output of the juicedLink to the input of the GH1.
