> I did pick up one of those cheap Cam Links as well, and a power supply, though is the 30 minute limit a hard limitation?

For H.264/MOV recording it is. Cam will stop and the only thing ML can do is providing an automatic restart. Some frames will get lost during restart. For raw/MLV there is no such limit. Any recent build covers this. But you have to live with data streams up to around 55 MByte/s. 128 GB will be filled in around 36 minutes. For unlimited HDMI streaming duration you need a so called lua_fix build. https://magiclantern.fm -> Downloads -> Experiments. Other builds will stop at 29:59. Workaround with other builds is so called "sticky half-shutter" but this affects cams usability. Canon's Webcam Utility bypasses 29:59 limit, too but - as mentioned above - EOS M won't run with it.

Powers my M50 for over six hours.

Just get a small displayport to HDMI adapter and keep it on the end of your HDMI to mini HDMI? They make pretty compact ones? Something like this?

Same thing happened to me, but I used the Wayback Machine to get the product number. It's "Sulens HDMI USB Video Audio Capture Card HD 1080P Video Record".. but its not available anywhere, so its not all that useful... but hopefully something similar will work. I have EOS-M running ML and my cheap $20 "1080p" USB 2.0 capture card is technically working, but its definitely not 1080p, looks like 720p. This seems like the same sort of thing anyway, don't know how its working for this guy.

I haven't tried without overclock yet, because the record times are under 10 seconds (according to what I've read in https://magiclantern.fm/. However, I will give it a try, and will also try with lower values of overclocking.

Apparently the 5D3 isn't supported by Canon's new USB-to-webcam utility, I had been using v002-Camera-Live plus CamTwist Studio.

It definitely does not sustain 60 FPS (I see duplicated and torn frames in the output, probably closer to 30 FPS in reality), and the max resolution that CamTwist offers is 720p. Image quality looks great though and I bet this would be fine for streaming.

The 5D3 is only USB 2, so the max datarate from my camera can't exceed 480Mbit/s in any case.

The USB output on this camera will be very low resolution. The HDMI out can do 720, but with black bars that basically means ~640 of usable resolution.

If you upgrade to a T5i you can get 1080 HDMI out which contains maybe ~900 of useable resolution after you crop out the black bars.

I use a $12 1080 HDMI-to-usb adapter and it works ok.

Thanks man, what card would you recommend? I've seen people push 5K raw (???) and think this card might do the job. Thoughts?

Class V30 or higher should be able to handle it

Here's a good article: https://www.eoshd.com/raw-video/magic-lantern-raw-video-current-camera-capabilities-updated-2017/

thanks for your answer.

I just ordered this one : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007NDL56A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

they say it can go up to 90mb/s writing speed. even if it goes "only" to 70 or 80, it'll be enough for me :)
