This is a FAQ from an excelent forum about timelapse: Timescapes. Rather helpful.

Well, I believe audio engineers would endorse this Sound Devices (compared to the JuicedLink).
Just a side note: using Magic Lantern, you get headphones (which I believe are actually essential for in camera recording). That’s great, but you end up with just one audio channel. If you’re recording more than one mic, you gotta mix it live, which is far from ideal. -
Even if you manage to output full hd from an HDSLR, you can’t have long shots. The overheating issue is caused by the sensor being exposed, it has nothing to do with the video being recorded to the card. So, if you’re watching the image on the lcd (or HDMI, or elsewhere) it is heating up.

You can TRY to monitor with the output signals, but there’s no way to have an HD signal to record. More info here:

Ok, we’re talking about 2 different things: the overheating is due to the sensor being exposed, so it can capture the image. It doesn’t matter where you record it, be the card or via the hdmi – the sensor will get hot, there’s no turnaround, BUT… id doesn’t get hot so fast. As Darrell said above, you can shoot for hours, turning it off frequently, with no problem.
The other thing is the 12 minutes limit, for recording on card. The simplest way to avoid it, is to stop recording, for just a second, say before 10 minutes, maybe when asking a question. -
Nice links on this post – I’d add this one:

A really comprehensive, well written ebook. -
Thanks, James. I realize it’s a Panasonic x Sony thing, but it seems to have become something bigger – one can’t (AFAIK) simply play a dvcprohd file on a PC. And Apple must have made some kind of business with Panasonic, since final cut is able to edit it – if I’m not misunderstanding everything, I think I’ve read John explaining it.
