What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Compatibility is listed for the LUMIX GH7, with the manufacturer's compatibility statement dated June 2024. Confirm camera compatibility before buying for another model. The listing's title advertises 4-channel recording, while its detail field says 2 channels, so the channel count is contradictory. The listed 16.5 x 8.5 x 5.9 centimetre dimensions and 100 g weight differ slightly from the separate product details of 16.51 x 8.48 x 5.94 cm and 99.79 g. The exact dimensions and weight are therefore inconsistent across listing fields. The 32-bit float claim is specifically conditional on a compatible camera.
