Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 23, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2020 https://www.smallrig.com/blog/no-more-concerns-about-the-overheating-of-canon-r5/ I like their sense of humour! However you can do the survey too and tell them what you'd like to see. We will definitely get some sort of fan cage from someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger 2.0 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Asked for heatsink and cooling fan integrated into smallrig cage 🤣 However seeing the overheating test Tony did on Youtube, it looks like the (plastic) shell really isolates the inside heat from the outside. Not sure any fan or heatsink at the outside will even do any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And warranty will certainly be void. Hopefully they will bring out a R5 with cooling fan in the future like panasonic did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntblowz Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I guess the weather sealing is too good on their camera 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Hummus Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I told them to remove the micro HDMI, because its worthless anyhow, and use the small port to install a tiny exhaust fan, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
