cinematography Magic Latern Question...

[Absolution_Films]

Hi guys,

So ive had my 600d for a month or so now and loving every minute off it..... i have obviously heard about Magic Lantern and am considering getting it....

The main obvious question i have is...

Basically when i download the files etc there is a warning about the firmware possibly breaking your camera.... how likely is this? Have you know it to happen to anyone?

I really want to use it but knowing my general luck it will do something bad! haha

Never happened to me; don't know of it happening to anyone else.

I was pretty apprehensive before using it, too.

Nope, never happened to me. Followed their instruction from the website and it works great!
Just make sure your battery is fully charged..

It works fine. Just make sure you have a "full-charge" battery, as that could really break your camera if its the reason that fails to upgrade the firmware.
