Any Active Magic Lantern Users?

is the 5Dmk2 unified out properly yet?
last time i used it it was a few months ago and it was an unstable bomb so i removed it
my 5D2 firmware is still running 2.08 since i hadto downgrade firmware to get it to work
I was mostly interested in the still options bracketing and focus stacking
but it was so hit and miss and not reliable I just canned it

The unified version for the xxd/xxxd bodies is quite stable, but even here from time to time regressions or crashes occur - but nothing that cannot be solved by updating/downgrading ml or switching the camera off an on again. "unstable bomb" is certainly not the target - for updates and questions see the bug tracker & dev list, this is where you can get the most up to date information:

I'd sure like to see if for the 5D mkIII.....would be nice if they could remove the artificial 29:59 video limit, and to allow full HDMI out....

Since the 5d3 has the new digic5 that no ml dev has seen yet, don't expect it soon. And since ml is an still an unofficial addon, it might even be Canon made it even harder to get a firmware addon running at all - they certainly tried with the encrypted firmware addons on the latest bodies. And when Canon really wants to prevent something due to their body lineup policy, they will - so you won't be able to unlock features that are really meant for more expensive or upcoming models.

I've done 2 video shoots with the unified version on my 5d. No real problems. Once my battery drained overnight, thats about it. Main advantage for me has been the 2.35 crop marks plus the ability to custom white balance and then edit that custom balance, works great under fluorescent lights.
