i've been reading all the hubbub lately about the new hack. it all sounds really cool, and i would really like to give it a whirl. problem is, i have several gigs coming up that i was planning on using the gh1 to shoot so i can't exactly afford any down time due to figuring out this new firmware.

is it safe to do yet (as of 6/17/10)??
what would you recommend?

I too have gigs.. One on Saturday then Tuesday and next weekend. I flashed mine and got it set to work flawlessly with no crashes, glitches or problems. If you decide to try it, before shooting any paid work run your cards through a full record cycle, and keep a card ready with the official patch which you can quickly load "just in case".
 
Yup, sensible settings means total stability - at least as stable as what the factory shipped. In the off chance (almost nil) that it isn't the card contained firmware backup is an added safety net.
