Pulling focus nudges the frame?

Jackcklam, this is just the idea I had in mind - attaching some sort of tube clamp on the lens adapter; that, or drilling onto the adapter to make it mountable. I eventually found that eBay adapter that already had the work elegantly done.

I received the eBay mountable adapter and the Cavision lens mount and got to test them a bit. For now the camera hangs in the air off the lens adapter mount... and there's already a vast improvement. That $40 unit is more robust than the GH2's mount. I would love to find an arrangement that would utilize both mounting holes, the camera and the lens adapter (some cheeseplate to compensate for the height difference). Then it'll really be solid.

Another thing to look into is the amount of rubber padding on your tripod/rod base plates. Too much padding does cause issues.

I'll post new videos and pictures when I get a bit of time. Meanwhile I recommend the products I mentioned in post #17.
