Smallrig surveys - EOS R5 and A7S III

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!

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.

Maybe drilling some holes in it will resolve the issue. Allthough it wont be weatherproof anymore.

And warranty will certainly be void. Hopefully they will bring out a R5 with cooling fan in the future like panasonic did.

looks like is not going to work, the only solution most probably will be an external recording, so get ready for the crappy micro-hdmi nightmare.

I guess the weather sealing is too good on their camera 🤣

I told them to remove the micro HDMI, because its worthless anyhow, and use the small port to install a tiny exhaust fan,
