When Canon released R5While recording the video, there was a tendency to overheat the trend of a normal point camera. Canon improves those problems R5 Mark IIBut all cameras overheat at some points, especially when the recording takes into long high resolutions. To help cold things, Smallrig has optimized its cooling fan, basically Sony designed for camerasCanon to work with R5 Mark II and R5.
The Smallrig cooling fan is more than just a basic fan. It is a silicon thermal conductive gel, a thermoelectric cooling (TEC) component and an aluminum alloy heat sink, there are several layers to efficient heat from the camera’s body. Fan blades sit on top of them to blow the camera heat. The fan offers two levels: a cool mode with 4500 rpm fan speed for cool operations and a strong 7000 rpm fan speed with a ice-thonda mode.
Smallrig claims that at 40 ° C (104 ° F), the fan may increase the shooting time for 8K 30p recording by 30%. It also claims that when 4K 60p is shot at 25 ° C (77 ° F), the fan can completely stop the shutdown from overheating.
Cooling fan is easy to use with quick snap-on installation. No equipment is required, so users can pop it up or close it as required. Although some are potential downside. First, it attachs where the screen is in the folds, so you have to operate the camera with a bend the screen. Additionally, it lacks an underlying battery, requiring an external power source through 5V USB input. This smalling V-mount is compatible with the battery ecosystem, however, it makes a convenient option for those who have already been invested in smalling products.
While Smalling made this version specifically for Canon R5 and R5 Mark II, it is also compatible with Sony cameras. Smallrig made the fan bracket to be removed so that it can be switched back and forth when needed. It is available for purchase for $ 60 today Smallrig website,
