Does this GH3 grip allow swapping of the grip battery without interrupting during video recording?

Yes, as long as you don't let the body battery drain all the way, it will run from that while you change batteries in the body.

I usually keep mine in battery grip when mounted on rig for easy access. You can also keep 1 in camera and grip. As far as uninterrupted as long as you have one in either at all times you could go interrupted.

It seems to stop the recording no matter which way I set up the software setting. You can tell the camera to use the internal battery or the grip first. With both batteries on I'm pretty sure I can film longer then my 32 GB card.

YES! When the BG (battery grip) battery is discharged, it will use the battery in the camera,without interrupting the video. I always use the BG battery first, because you can easily accessthe compartment, and replace with a fresh battery.

no, one goes in the camera, the other in the grip. It just extends battery life, I went 2 weeks 1000+ shots before I needed a charge

Don't forget to consider the battery when shooting an extended length video.

No. I have never seen this function available. The 1D Series use a completely different HUGE battery compared to the 'regular' one used by Rebel, 5D, 6D, 60D, 7D, etc.

It can't, as far as I know. If you want to switch between the rig and the tripod, you have to unscrew the camera.

The socket is not centered on the camera. You can change the battery without removing the camera from the tripod. That is if the tripod platform is normal size.

Yes, you can switch back and forth between still and video. The buttons and knobs on the case match those on the camera and the switch is easy to do.

There is a turn switch on the end, that activates the Grip Trigger button yes. No it it does nothing to disable the other buttons on the camera, which means that you can switch back and forth, using the body trigger when shooting landscape and the grip trigger when shooting portrait.

You cannot use both at the same time The problem that I am experiencing is that the battery grip doesn't make connections any more. Even though it's on tight there is no power reaching the camera. That's what I sm experiencing right now

This Grip has two slots, so you can run both. I found that if the camera is powered off, batteries installed, then power on everything works like factory. The "Jumper" wire provided only enables the shutter button on the grip body. I don't use it as I don't like the side ports exposed.

Yes, this camera will override oldest segment of regular recordings. Any segment protected by g-sensor event will be saved in separate folder and has to be removed manually.

Yes, there is a flip option in the setup, you will have to set flip on or off before recording, you cannot change this while recording.

Yes, that's all there is to it. But you also need to switch it on using the small lever that indicates "lock" You may also want to set the camera to use the battery in the grip first then the battery in the camera.

Yeah, no - when you have it all rigged up, you can't use the battery grip. I'd recommend getting an AC adapter and wearable external power source (battery pack) if you need it for extended periods of time. Otherwise, just be ready to dismantle it every hour or so to swap batteries.Neewer® ACK-E8 Replacement AC Power Adapter Supply Kit for Canon EOS Rebel T5i/700D, T4i/650D, T3i/ 600D, T2i/550D

I have honestly not been able to set the screen myself....I honestly use the grip for the convenience of changing battery packs quickly without having to take off my DSLR video rig. Sorry that I cannot provide any helpful advice.

Yes, the grip does not come with the extra "battery". You should hopefully already have 1 of the 2 for your camera.

The grip is used to house up to two camera batteries. It does not charge it. It merely makes the camera easy to grip and doubles battery power.
