jpfilmz Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Picked one up last week and finally got to to test it out. It does indeed extend record times and keeps the camera cooler. With the fan set to high in a 75 degree interior I was able to record to a 512 GB CF Express card 3 times with a overheat shutdown but for stopping the test. That's about 78 mins of 8k raw recording. The Temp icon came on about half way through the 2nd card recording and stays on but the camera doesn't shut down.

Emanuel Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I had no idea this was out here already, I believe you've just placed a new order to pop up from my end here now... @jpfilmz what about 4K 120fps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntblowz Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Do you have photo of the setup with powerbank? Where would you put it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Very interesting! Also wasn't aware the product finally came out. What about fan noise? Any chance you could post a video with what it sounds set to low/medium/high ? I wanna get this for my R6. PS: also curious about how it looks/works with the power bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt3rs Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I would be interested in the findings for 8k RAW and 4k 120 under the sun at 90F. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In effetti estende i tempi di registrazione e mantiene la fotocamera più fresca. Con la ventola impostata al massimo in un interno di 75 gradi sono stato in grado di registrare su una scheda CF Express da 512 GB 3 volte con uno spegnimento per surriscaldamento ma per interrompere il test. Sono circa 78 minuti di registrazione grezza 8k. L'icona Temp si è accesa circa a metà della registrazione della seconda scheda e rimane accesa ma la fotocamera non si spegne. What CFexpress did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob6 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Thanks for the info, jpfilmz! Yeah, I would love to see how you power this. It says in the documentation that someone posted on social media that you need an 8v power pack to run at full speed. Not even sure which power banks can provide that. Thanks!

I've been using a FXLion 50wh and 150wh vmount battery interchangeably with power through a usbc cord with a usb adaptor to connect to the battery side to power it. For some reason the usbc out from the FXLion battery would not supply power to the fan but the USB port did. Rob6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 So didn't you test the 4K 120fps capability yet @jpfilmz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Smug S1H owners titter in the background 😬 Canon R5 owners counter and bring up the subject of tracking AF 🤣 I like pretty much everything about the R5 and wouldn’t mind adding the fan…but then the power bank also…?

I would just wait for R5C or R3...worth the money, imho, to just not faff around with something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTheDP Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The R5 seems like a great option. Still sticking with my Pana S1. arson519 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dancing Babamef Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Could be a great accessory if you're on a vacation at a hot destination where the sun is blazing on the black chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt3rs Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If this data is true, it seems helping quite a bit especially if you can power it >= 8v. I never hit a stop so fare but I got close a couple of times so it maybe a good backup solution for some situation that you know it may become tricky.
