Here's where you get the hack etc:

Hacks News and Development

As far as a tripod, the Manfrotto 190PROB is a good one. I have two of the earlier model of this and they just don't quit. All my supports are Manfrotto though and try as I might, I haven't killed one yet. I also bought all mine as "mint used" and saved a bit of cash that way.

As far as a lens, that all depends on your wallet and expected usage. Being that you are a complete GH2 noob, I would suggest starting with a Lumix lens to get all the in camera voodoo that Panny has going on with them. When I came back to my GHs from a stint trying to learn to speak Nikon, I went almost 100% pure Lumix and have been very happy with my decision.

You might find that here as well:

Panasonic GH Cameras

There are pages upon pages of info there including one whole section on the GH2 hacks. Lots of reading and searching, but something should be there for you.
