Might be time to reconsider. Canon are (supposedly) not planning any further flagship DSLRs and I see little wrong with modifying your own property.

Independent of that: how dangerous is ML dev to the cameras themselves (in terms of brick potential)? Permanently bricking a camera in the price range of the 1DX is not exactly my idea of a good time. :-)

Over the years, a few devs have temp soft bricked cams, requiring various non-standard methods to restore them to working order. I think all attempts succeeded so far! I don't think any permanent physical damage has been triggered by devs. It is definitely a real risk, but we try to work with the OS when possible, and the OS was written to try to make these things hard.

I don't think I'd want to learn the ropes on a cam too expensive to psychologically say goodbye to. Maybe save that for the second port.

Thank you for the insight. Best of luck to you and the future of the project!
