I never reached 2hrs with 4k/24...more like 50 Mins. That has pushed me to get the r3 instead with practically no overheat and better battery life and more robust controls and built quality
@@ShiNwoMbat The upcoming eos r3 costs 3 times as much as the r6 so i dont see it as a practical alternative for most people. realistically canon should fix their overheating issues in their cameras as there is no way they wouldn't have noticed it.
Enjoy'd the info, thank you. Defs agree with investing into post processing equipment is just as important as the capturing equipment. I know you edit on Premier, but it's worth noting that the free version of Davinci does not support CLog3. You will need to get the Studio version. But once again, investing in post procesing is equally as important.
I have the R6, and I'm going to be using this with my Ninja V, now most of the recording i do is 4k 60P so i bet you i would overheat before you would, how ever sense recording to an external device (Ninja V) i think i could probably get about 2 hours of 4k 60p with out a problem maybe more.. The Canon R5C though, there is no overheating even at 8K 60p because it has a cooling fan built into it, but we shall see i will let you know what happens on one of my shoots that i will be doing the end of the month so we shall, see, i'm just getting use to this new Canon, i was using a Fuji X-T3 for over 3 years, and well i'm glad to say my Canon R6 is going to film better video hopefully..
Interesting! How was the room temperature when you achieved this kind of recording length? 4k/60 stills overheats on me after about 22mins. But yeah, 4k/24 can last quite a long time by now. Edit: Thanks for giving the info about it :) Now I have to adjust for Celsius ;)
Ahh sorry I didn’t list temps in Celsius. I’m thinking of doing a more scientific test at different frame rates and resolutions in various ambient temps. Something a little more thorough.
To anyone who's Reading this : Get a uhs-II sd card. It makes a huge difference believe me. I used to film with uhs-I cards and was getting around 40 min in 4K 24. Now that i bought a uhs-II card (V90), i tested it with the R6 and was truly shocked with the results. I got around 1h30min of 4K 30fps recording before shutting down from overheating. Obviously i had my batteries charged and once a battery die i immediately replace it with another. Also whenever the 30mn limit stops the recording i immediately hit record again. I did this till the camera shutted down at around 1h30. Hope it will help someone who's also struggling with his R6
Very interesting. I never thought the SD card as avariable. I've only primarily used uhs-ii cards. It's never occured to me that a slower card could produce more heat which would make the camera overheat quicker. In theory that makes sense.
That's pretty sick man, did your timer not go down as it was recording? My one goes down from 29:59 and when I stop it'll show how long is left (whether that is 10 minutes or whatever), how did you bypass that or did that happen to you and it just kept going?
Tested 1.5.0. Mine shuts down at 49mins, 4k24 clog 3, average indoor room temp. Recovery time is quick, but i cant record continuously like you, resulting in gaps in footage
I’m still looking/working on some kinda workaround besides the Ninja V. I had the overheat timer go down to 4:00 after about 20mins of recording after the 1.4 update. It was weird but only happened once. Great video tho!
It seems as if 1.4 is super dependent on the ambient temperature of a room. I’ve been shooting outside more at 100+ degrees Fahrenheit and it seems to overheat pretty quick. I haven’t dont a true test to confirm, but will soon!
@@AaronLatimer that’s interesting. Very interesting. I just wish they came to a better solution that makes it easier to figure out when shooting. Although it would be great if this issue didn’t exist at all 🤷🏾♂️
Hi. I've given you a thumbs up as the info was good and the presentation. I have the R6 myself. However, what I did find distracting was the headset on the stand wobbling every time you moved a bit. Perhaps get rid of that next time :)
nice video, just to let you know I ended up buying all new original canon LP-E6NH new gen batteries and get double the video recording battery life compared to third party ones. Good to in est in them!
Good work! I’m still so torn on where to go next as a 1D X Mark II user, but the R6 looks more and more appealing all the time. What’s the GPU/CPU of your editing rig?
Thanks! Oof, I can see the upgrade from a. 1dx mkII being a difficult decision. If I were you, I’d wait for the R3 to release before I made a decision. My PC is running an AMD Ryzen 3900X CPU, RTX 2070 Super and 32GB of RAM at 3200MHz. And I’m editing on the Corsair MP600 1TB PCIE Gen4 M.2 SSD for super fast read/write speeds.
@@hitboymonte ended up getting the R6 last October and it’s been amazing to edit on my GTX 1080/i7 7700K/32 GB Ram PC. Footage is buttery smooth in Premiere unless I use heavy effects. Rendering is pretty quick too
Overheating does happen. Its not nearly as bad as it used to be. But it is something you have to plan around. Especially when shooting on a hot summer day.
Yes indeed, I was using the Sigma 18-35 DC Art lens. Ironically enough, the time I did have an auto focus issue, I was using the Rokinon 14mm 2.8f RF lens. With my experience, the viltrox adaptor has not been a weak point in any way. It has fully exceeded my expectations.
Great video, Aaron! I've been worried about the overheating issue, but am going to buy the R6 now. Can you comment on the quality of 4K in Movie Cropping mode? Reason is I have an 80D with an 18-135mm EF-S lens that has a PZ-E1 Power Zoom adapter. I love that lens! But will the 4K look bad compared with the 4K oversampled from 5.1K using say the RF 24-105mm kit lens, apart from the fact that that RF glass is better?
Bro, hope you didn't buy it, if you haven't, please stay away from the r6 overheating is a big issue specially in 4k 60p, 4k 24p Clog, impossible to get more that 30 minutes continues, and even if you are not continuously shooting, it has overheated on me a looOOOT of times! reason why im selling it. ill go for the a7sIII or even the a7v.
my r6 is stopping even after rec for 2 min 1080 in 24fps and the file saved in dat format. no regular video saved when stops automatic any one can help? camera is not heated but it stops under 1 min of video recording
Ditto to your point about having a high end editing computer to go with high end cameras. A well equipped and well tuned editing computer will save people soooooooo much time and money and headache in the long run. TBH the R6 footage, the H.265 codec, is super intensive to edit, I'm currently rockin an AMD system with the 5900X, 64GB RAM, and RTX 3800, it chews through the R6 4K footage like its ProRes. I still do proxies for timeline scrubbing performance but for smaller projects you really dont need them if you have a good PC.
@@sonicvboom dude the M1 can barely handle 1 layer of 4K video, stop drinking the Apple flavoured Coolaid they are still miles behind what a well equipped dollar for dollar PC can do.
@@this_time_imperfectI'm not talking about the basic M1 though... I'm referring to the new M1 Max chip with 10 core CPU, 32 core GPU, 64GB *unified* memory?
I don't know if you have talked about how to expose for c-log 3. I have been testing different settings with the native ISO at 800 but I still get a lot of noise. Thanks!
When updating my new R6, say my camera is about 3 updates behind, do i need to push every update individually or just do the most recent and everything in between them will be included?
Get a uhs-II sd card. It makes a huge difference believe me. I used to film with uhs-I cards and was getting around 40 min in 4K 24.

Would you choose the R6 over a 5D mk4? If photography was more important than video? I know they are two different technologies, but still curious. Great video!
I have noticed that it can reduce the allotted record time. However, there is a setting that puts the camera in a “low res” setting to reduce that effect. I try to turn the camera off when I can.
