Griffin Hammond & THE LUMIX GH5M2

THE NEW LUMIX GH5M2

Panasonic sent me a pre-production GH5M2 to test out, and shoot a short film with. Watch the behind-the-scenes video above to learn about the new features in this Lumix GH5M2 camera.


Griffin’s HISTORY WITH lumix CAMERAS

  • In 2010, I purchased my first mirrorless camera—the Lumix GH1.

  • In 2013, I shot my documentary Sriracha in 1080p24 on a Lumix GH3.

  • In 2016, Panasonic asked me to be the Global Brand Ambassador for the launch of the Lumix GH5 (released in 2017).

  • In 2019, just after the birth of my son Peter, I produced Argon, to coincide with the launch of the full-frame Lumix S1.

  • In 2021, Panasonic asked me to film a test film with a pre-production Lumix GH5M2.

Through this relationship, Panasonic has provided lenses, early-access pre-production cameras, and hired me to teach filmmaking workshops and produce films with and about their cameras.
