experiences with magic lantern?

Dear forum members,
I want to do more HDR and I own a Canon 5dm2 which can create only a set of 3 exposure bracketed images...I am looking for a (possibly inexpensive) way to get a larger set of bracketed images...I already got the advise from Smooth about the promote control from promotesystems which looks fantastic but it is too expensive for me...Using exposure compensation looks to be a good alternative but one has to be careful not to move the camera while dialing the compensation up and down...Could the software magic lantern be an alternative, does anyone have experince with it?
Regards
Burak

It's a great tool. Just be careful, READ the directions, UNDERSTAND the directions, FOLLOW, the directions.
And contribute whatever you can to the developers. Great Stuff!

I use it for my 5D and 550D works great and it resides strictly on your flash card so has no effect on the camera itself.
Not too hard to install, just do some homework before you start. You still have the normal menu and you bring up ML by pressing the trash can button. So you can toggle back and forth from ML to the regular menu easily. I highly recommend it.
