Hey everyone i am looking for an intervalometer for my GH2. I have read that the intervalometers for the GH1 are not compatible with the GH2? Ebay adds list the GH2 in the description but not in the compatibility list.

I would love to start doing time lapses. I appreciate any help or links to products that you know work!
 
Where did you read that the GH2 won't work with GH1 interval timers? That would suck. When I returned my GH1 (hackable, hindsight is 20/20) I kept the new battery and timer for a GH2. So now I have a battery I can't use and a timer, too? Hope that's not true.

Okay, I looked in the GH1 and GH2 manuals and both list the DMW-RSL1 as the remote shutter. So, I think they both will use the same interval timers.
 
I have a JJC Timer Remote Control from Amazon that works with my GH2 and GH1 (just got it.) It seems to be a bit nicer than the ones my friends have gotten from ebay (smaller and with a bigger readout.)

Any chance of a direct link? I put your information into Amazon, but it responded with items that didn't seem to be for Panasonic.

Thanks in advance.
 
One thing I've noticed is that my GH2 stops taking a long exposure photo at 127 seconds no matter what the bulb timer is set to on the intervalometer? anyone else encountered this? I wonder if it's a limit of using slow shutter denoise option, will turn this off and try and do some other tests.

I found a unit that looks identical for $35.24 with shipping included.

I indicates wireless, but I believe it is a mistake. The company sells the same thing on their website and ebay for about $1 more.

I sent an email to clarify that it is wired this morning. The unit ships from Florida as opposed to Asia. I found this one one ebay for about $24 but there is a long lead time for delivery:

I turned that option off but my gh2 died at 131 photos on a fresh battery.
 
I got the JJC yesterday, and am a little confused. I cant get the intervalonmeter to control the shutter? The GH2 doesn't have a bulb mode? Am I mssing something?
