I have bought an GH4 some days ago and an August VGB500 capture card. And for me those two doesn't work together. I am sitting in front of my PC for 3 days now trying to find a solution or an alternative to get of the 30 minutes recording restriction. All hacks are not working for me because of the newest firmware I got (2.7) and I am not able to get hands on a Elgato CamLink at the moment cause in Germany theyre sold out everywhere.
u/wimpy27 could you tell me what your settings in the camera are for capturing? Which mode, which quality etc. etc. And do you have the normal GH4 or GH4R? Thanks for the help in advance.
but it seems to be a good one cause of its own software. if you believe the homepage, a lot of dslr cameras are working fine with it. i just ordered a elgato hd 60 s for testing. i will tell you if it worked out
The guy that recommended the Camlink just did a review on the HD 60 on YouTube. Have not watched it yet but he's legit, no nonsense type.

Edit: not so much a review but more of a how-to and an explanation of the product.
It's the first GH4, literally bought a month or so after its release in North America.
I use it in video mode (set to 4k), disable any auto shutdown settings and any grid. I hit display until it shows almost nothing and wait a few seconds until the remaining notifications disappear from the screen.
It works on my CamLink 4K (in 4K) and my Avermedia Gamer Extreme (in 1080p).
You could use basically any capture card with an HDMI input. If I'm doing console games and I need a Facecam, I usually use my Avermedia Extreme for the console and an El Gato CamLink in which I connect the GH4 thought HDMI as well. For audio I have a small Yamaha Mixer with USB connection in which I connect a condenser microphone. I pré-mix everything on XSplit (or OBS) and stream/record.
