Low-Tech
After looking for a similar solution, I went a different route to protect my NanoFlash…

Panasonic TM-300
I haven't used one, but I know a few people who use the Panasonic TM-300 and speak highly of it. It's near the top of your price range, but seems to have a good balance of features for the price.

Are there people around you taking still pictures with flash while you're rolling video?

Nexto NVS
I can't say enough good things about the Nexto NVS2500. I took one on a recent shoot to Costa Rica, and had zero problems offloading hours of SxS, SDHC and CompactFlash footage shot with the EX1...

Vari-ND
Jaser,
I've got the 7D and the Canon 17-55 f2.8 lens. With the 77mm Vari-ND from Singh-Ray (different, I know from the Fader ND), I get no noticeable vignetting in video mode, though there is a...

Vignetting
I have the 77mm Vari-ND and the same lens. And yes, there is vignetting at the wide end of the lens. It seems to disappear pretty quickly as you zoom in, but it is there at 17mm.

Nexto Video Pro Review
I'm not big on long-winded reviews with a bunch of data/testing, so I'll be brief here.

I know most people are into buying lenses, but I have to suggest renting. The fact is, if you can't afford a top-quality "L" telephoto lens, you might as well rent one. When you're looking at $2000...

Image Stabilization?
Perhaps your lens has image stabilization, and that was switched on. On a tripod, IS will make for some subtle movement sometimes.
Maybe?

I can't speak to the D90, as I've never used it, but I really like the GH1. I used it off and on for a week in Costa Rica, and got some amazing stuff…

10-22mm
