Oooooh. My ZV1's have been behaving a bit better since the "summer" ended, but I think I might have to get me one of these and have a play around. Cheers Kip!
Cool Wow that is one!! not sure about my Nikkon D3200's though as the screen is none moveable, but there again if I am getting the display then I will have a tripod full of power banks!!
I'm paying attention. I think the heat comes from writing the data to the memory card, but if you record directly to the PC with OBS there's no heat build up.
I wonder if it has a peltier module in it? Good that there's a non-invasive method to cool it down, I remember seeing someone ages ago with a similar issue with a Sony camera and they had to hack it a little to get it to behave, but not all of us would be comfortable doing that with pricey gear! I think DIY Perks did one (might have been a Canon though) and he water-cooled his haha.
I never realised that these cooling fans were actually Peltier coolers. Thermoelectric cooling was popular 20-25 years ago for computer CPUs. As you noticed, the downside from the rapid cooling is condensation. The trick with this approach is to only lower the temperature the amount you need to do the job. Otherwise, your equipment will get damp, or worse, start to collect water.
@@kiphakes What happened with CPU cooling was that the installed Peltier coolers would produce condensation along the very edges of the P-N junction in the cooler. It is possible that the fact that the fan is venting around the perimeter of the unit it may be enough to evaporate the moisture and carry it away. As you are going to operate it in your fixed studio setup, it is a perfect opportunity to see if there is any issue to be had.

This has been an absolute game-changer for mine.. I genuinely don’t think it will ever thermally shut down again! 👌🏼

Ooooh interesting!
@@kiphakes I have an older Sony A5000 with the clean HDMI hack. There's no problem with heat when I record direct to my PC.
Whoa that's cool, thanks Kip 😁
WHOA That's COOL! Please keep these great videos coming.
Cheers buddy!!
Wow that's cooooolllll hahaha
Wow that's cool

Yeah.. thankfully the condensation isn’t an issue once it’s installed
