This guy actually gave a good tips to overcome the problem that others seems just to rant about! Thank bro, this is what I've been looking for!
Bought the rig, opened the screen, the battery was exhausted and the SD card filled up shooting 4k with no overheating! Thanks man!
Make sure to do that firmware update they pushed out. You can add the extended temperature option which has solved my overheating issues.
Sony should watch this video and should feel embarrassed at their engineering.
+Michael Ma No since the limit is stated as 30 minutes recording time in normal temp conditions (see manual). I recorded hours with my a6300 without overheating.
let me guess, you recorded in 1080p right. Try it in 4k, i guarantee it wont be last in 10 minutes.
Do you really think I use this camera for just filming in 1080p? the reason why people buy this one is because of the 6k signal which down-sampled to 4k and give a detailed image. I hear a lot of people got this "overheating" issue in warm country's. P.S. I had this camera before it was even on the market.
i think you already hacked this model, could you upload and share some video for us before it get worst..?hope itll helpful to us..
Don't the japanese commit suicide when they can't save face?
BTW, turning OFF WiFi helps a lot.
Yup, good advice their.
Need to try that!
I think there's no problem in that. Most overheating issues that ive heard of have been for people recording for long periods of times
@@ColtKirwan That's what everyone is talking about...
@@ColtKirwan wifi and bluetooth are both relatively high-energy systems that could well produce a little additional heat. if you don't need it, turn it off. saves battery and might reduce heat.
Great tips dude! Thank you very much!
+Sidney Diongzon You're welcome!
The main tool that I use to help with overheating is talked about at 4:21 for those of you wanting to jump to that part.
+that1cameraguy What was the room temperature you were shooting at ? Back here it gets to as high as 48 degree Celsius outside. Probably not for me for travel vlogging ?
Also, how much time it takes to cool down to start recording again if you don't swap the battery and don't have the cage?
+that1cameraguy +Prashant Vikal
Yeah, wondering will the cage help dissipate heat outside, or absorb more heat from the sun since its all black.
I have overheating issue with stills only at 10am, 32°C, with A6000(black) I could shoot whole day under scorching sun.
I probably can use the cage to mount fan and battery on. But this problem should not be there at the first place, because I shoot stills only most of the time.
***** Damn... Is it that bad ?
Prashant Vikal It is. And I wish I have the silver version(when its available), even if I dislike the look of it.
Have you try this with and without tricks to make sure the helped? Meaning, no mods will over heat, with mods it won't, and try this more than once just to make sure everyone really helps? Thanks.
That was really helpful. Thanks a bunch!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am buying this rig using ur link.
Definitely good tips. I had overheating issues with my a6000 the one time I used it to record during a 20min+ session.I was already planning to buy that exact same cage. So an additional reason for me to buy it. Once I had will do a comparison with and without.
Handy to see the Smallrig cage on the 6300 here, I was kinda thinking about picking one up anyway, but that's a definite added bonus with the heat dissipation.
An informative and very well produced video. Thanks Michael.
Appreciate it.
Wonderful, awesome tip.
Hi cameraguy, thanks A lot for your helpful tips! Do you know whether it is better to use external batteries instead of the 220V power charge cable if I do inside video recording, concerning the overheating issues?
simple and brillant. thank you mr guy!
thanks!
Thank you for the helpful video. I have canon dslr cameras which have no acess to use external mic. I haven't got any help. Do you mind to give me any advice how to solve the problem by using any helpful gear if they is any available? Thanks.
this is very helpful and smart. THANKS.
+Anonymous 252 Thank you.
Great video! Also using adapters and adapted lenses on my a6000 was a huge help. I got about 3 hours in a room environment with just a commlite and sigma 17-50 ef mount, as well as a Nikon adapter and Nikon zoom sitting on a tripod swapping batteries, didn't even open the battery door between swaps, screen was open.
+hawaiianbraddah1 Awesome, thanks for sharing this.
Great tips, thank you! I really like to shot with the A6300 (especially on my moza air gimbal), but the overheating is an issue on hot summer outdoor shoots. Did you try the firmware update too?
You deserved more views. Subscribed! And thanks for the useful tips!
Slow and steady. Just working my way there. Thanks!
Thank you this was super helpful!
Glad it could help.
thanks for all the info bro. it helps a lot, God bless...
Very Helpful..Thank you....!!!
Hi! Thanks 4 the info, do you think it works with the a5100?
Hey, nice Tips. Very appreciated! Can you tell if it is possible to record 45-50 minutes without overheating or even shutdown using these tricks?
Great video - I use my A7s with a small rig cage and external power with very affordable Sony L series batteries and it's a great setup for video. Would use a similar setup on something like the A6300 which I hope to purchase in the near future.
Hello camera guy, other then RIG can i use L plate to minimize my a6000 overheat
coz i cant find the smallrig in my country
Great tips!
Do you have any suggestions on a cage that can be used with the a6300 and battery grip?
Can you do a review of the Sony a6400? thanks JC.
What lens do you suggest for travel videos on a sony a6300 :)
First off I'm using a slightly older Sony camera(I wanted to pick up a 2nd camera that would give me a full frame field of view with speedbooster for vlogging and b-roll, a little throw around cine camera) that also had heating issues and fits into the same cage. So first off I actually opted for a grey/silver variant because black absorbs heat out in the sun and Im not sure about the a6300 coming in other colors but felt it was worth mentioning - also the cage allows you to put a grip on the right so you're not actually touching the camera at all which helps, I hadn't thought about it as a heat sink though. Would you consider getting thermal pads to stick to the base of the camera/where the camera comes close to contacting the cage? I'm sure in black cut to size it would be discreet and turn the cage into an actual heatsink. I was considering maybe making a heatsink mount with a sheet of copper that would fit behind the screen and attach to the back of the camera where the heat is and extend out to the left and up above the camera where you could attach maybe a Zalman CNPS2X while also bolting it to the cage for added stability - active cooling that is out of the way like another accessory and they're designed to be quiet... The other thing with the high speed SD cards - thats huge and works really well.
Is there overheating when livestreaming?
Great reviews and suggestions! I recently purchased a sony a7sii and love it, so much that I sold my nikon d810 to buy another sony. My question is would you replace a full frame with a full frame with another as7sii or should I save a bit a coin and go with the a6300 ?
+Pope Weddings That's a tough one. Do you need long continuous 4k recording? The overheating hasn't been fully resolved with this camera. On the other hand, the Sony a7Sii handles longer continuous recording times better. If you need really good stills and autofocus performance, the a6300 delivers on that.
I am very much considering buying this camera. As a complete novice to film making (and currently applying to film school when I retire) this camera was suggested to me by a friend going to UH film school and your video helped me greatly and gave me confidence its a solid purchase at this price point. Thanks so much for your video and the tips. All will be used and can't wait to film my first short.
Glad it helped. As long as you don't expose the camera in really warm temperatures and direct sunlight and try to record for too long. You'll enjoy it.
I’m having a major issue with the camera humming during my recording. I don’t know what else to do to try to fix this😩😩
How long can you record on 1080p and how long on 4k continuously without overheating(in average)??
I plan on buying this camera. I don't plan on using 4k often; but if i do, i would have recording times of about 5 minutes more or less. Would overheating be an issue that i should worry about?
Does it overheat wen you record or does it overheat on standby mode aswell?
dude thanks for your tip but I'm getting a network error how to overcome?
Thank you for this. I'm currently considering whether to get this a6300 or a Canon 80D, for its AF capability in video. Hope you get the chance to test this methods outdoors too. As for other folks pointing out that Sony shouldn't have released a half perfect product, I think we all agree, but no need to put down anyone who's trying to share a tip or two on making it work.
If you're trying to decide between the Sony a6300 and the Canon ADD, definitely get the Canon. They are completely different machines, and if you think they're similar, you're better off with the Canon.
+Tyler Breeden Thank you. I did end up choosing the ADD for video work.
Thanks for the tips. My step are the Canon 5D Mark III and Sony a6300.
Great video, but did you get 3h of recording out of it?
Great tips!Thinking about upgrading my 6000k for the 6300. Looking for a do it all len, what do you recommend?
I think there's a 18-105 f4 for crop sensors only, I don't really see myself needing much more than that save for when I need like 200mm which is rare, unfortunately I can't use it on my a7s
good tips. enjoy your a6300. love my a6000
+Stephen Soukup Thanks!
Great Info, Thanks :)
+Gear Glasses & Gadgets You're welcome!
awesome, thanks
Hello, i have a budget of 1300 euros almost from selling out my Nikon gear. Should i go for the a6300 sigma 16mm 1.4 and 30mm f1.4 or go for the a 6500 and only the sigma 30mm f1.4 ?? Thanks a lot in advance nice video mate !! :)
anyone know what's the brand of the battery he is using?
hi - I just found a Dummy battery and charging lead that I used to use to externally charge my Sony NEX5n will using that help. PS the link you provided for the 'Small Rig' Cage doesn't work.
Coo! I know my A6000 sucks in O.H. Now i have 6300 still O.H,..I tried over the screen and battery door, is same. I will try the cage next lol. Thanks for the tips bro. Sub'd!
Hopefully it works out for you. If your doing recordings outdoors in direct heat, the cage will not help it'll actually cause the camera to overheat faster.
Excellent video and very helpful. I'm trying to downscale my camera equipment from an FS5 and a7sII to a pair of a6300's and this video has been great. I bought the small rig cage and changed the batteries every 29 minutes and 50 seconds. I've now recorded indoors for 90 minutes without any overheating warnings. I think the combination of the cage and battery swapping is a good fix for the overheating problem, at least indoors at room temperature (72 degrees). I didn't leave the battery door open, I've just used the SmallRig cage and done battery swapping.
Hopefully Sony releases a firmware update to address the issue so battery swapping isn't necessary.
Just as a side note. Using Class 10 U1 cards works in 4k recording on the a6300 but overheating occurs earlier than using Class 10 U3 cards. Class 10 U1 cards record 4K video on the FS5 and a7sII without any problems.
+TennisUnleashed - Unleash Your Game Thanks for sharing your results. Much appreciated it. As much as I enjoy the a6300, I still can't bring myself to record long form videos with it even with these hacks. I'm still sticking my GH4 for those longer shots.
If you use a dummy battery you wouldn’t have to battery swap. They are about $20 and plug to a wall or usb power bank.
hello .¿ if the camera is turned on without recording. also begins to overheat ?.
yes, it can still overheat.
How can hack firmware to up overheating temperature?
Someone needs to make a watercooled cage for the camera lol these solutions are pretty impractical for most situations.
+Majestic Skies That would be awesome, honestly.
Water cooled is less practical dude
What about a Peltier - Thermoelectric Cooler? Something like that in a cage or dummy battery?
The sony A6300 stop recording after several minute/hour of recording non stop or it accumulate ?
Very good video!!
+WilliamTheFish Thanks!
Do you think if you shoot in 1080 30 fps it can get up to two hours without problem?
Nice Ideas! Keep it up.
+My Instant Search Thanks!
+that1cameraguy Do you have any social account, where I can contact you?
Great advice.
+KingCanon Thanks!
thanks for this!
+Sam Finlay You're welcome.
does this camera overheat from recording long period of times ??
what lenses do you have on the camera? and which wide angle lens would you recommend?
i think you should do a video on lenses for this camera.
+Lanre Esho (LanreEshoFilms) I had the 85mm Batis. I just don't have a lot of lenses. I've been considering getting the Sony 16-70, but theirs also the 18-105.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND I LIKE THE WHITE BALANCE OF THE VIDEO
does it only overheat when shooting 4k or also when at 1080p? Because if its only a 4k problem, then thats a non-issue for me
Cuz the cage you use on the video wouldn't work with a battery grip would it?
Have just ordered this camera and now learning of this design fault so feel a bit meh. Does the camera only overheat in recording mode? Like if you are out and about shooting GVs now and again or filming a short film where the camera is not always constantly in record mode?
The cage does seem like a good tip to overcome the issue.
If it is hot out it can over heat in shooting mode
Hi, now it has overheating problem?
This is very helpful but I want to be able to take really long single takes so swapping out the batteries isn't an option. But opening the battery door and screen is a great idea!
My inner geek was very excited to hear about the cage conducting heat away from the camera. My dad would have figured this out. He was a machinist but could have been an engineer. Great tips for any camera I would think. Thanks
Thanks for sharing
You're welcome.
Thanks, man!
Hi, Though I only own a Nex 5t anx Nex 7, what I did is just paste a thin Copper piece on the back with heat transfer adhesive, only setback is you can't close the LCD panel completely, but I never encounter any overheating issue there after, now my only problem is the video stop recording after the file size hit 2Gb. Does this 2Gb limit issue happen on A6300? Cheers.
Yes (well it's a 30 min limit), but you can get around the limit with 3rd party firmware (he's got a video on that).
Great tips
+Jaytee1o4 Thanks!
Does the battery door come off like the A7?
Does cage really help?
how about smallrig cage on my a6000?
Hi. If I do very short rush in 4K during hours it will overheat all the same? Like 10 secondes each time? I never film during minutes.
Salomon Mika it should be fine, but if the camera is on, it's still getting hot. You'll want to turn it off during takes.
I've used the battery grip on 3 shoots it (does not) make a difference. I recorded less than 30 minutes and got the overheating icon showing on the LCD screen
Does the cage mount to tripods?
yes, it does
I usually shoot outdoor in sunny condition. Will the Smallrig put the heat into my cam instead?
+Reggi Tirtakusumah yes, it will heat up faster
Some people crying for the 4k overheating, ok, buy a nikon d5 (6000 dollars camera), can shoot 3min in 4k only... The a6300 cost 1000$ and you want all the best. Is like buy a 3000$ car but want the same as a ferrari....
If you know the limitations you can do good jobs. I have this camera and knowing that i think is the best camera in that price, slog is just magic... I came from the canon 5d mk ii and the sony is an other world.
A friend have the gh4 with vlog and it's so good but i think the sony is a little bit better, and the slog its free, vlog costs him 100$. And in low light terms, a6300 is so good with an aps-c sensor. In the other hand, i like the touch screen and gh4 menus. This are the best two options for me right now, a6300 and gh4. G7 seems good but i don't now if it can shoot in vlog, for me it's important for post processing.
This is my personal opinion! I'm not a sony fanboy, just a person how try to buy the best in price/quality range. I recommend it for sure, i would buy it another time!
(sorry for my english)
Pau Trescatorce Awesome positivity man. I just purchased the a6500 based off the same opinion and logic.
D5 records 29 min 4k not 3 mins
@@ShajiCee so????
Do you have any solution for the dimmed display when shooting 4k or 120fps?
+Straitline Cinema Sorry, I don't have one. I didn't realize there was an issue until you mentioned it.
I don't think you mentioned the settings you used for the camera. Were you recording with 100mbps, 4K, autofocus on, etc?
+Big Iris Productions Autofocus off, but it was 4k at 100mbps
use compress air to cool it down it work for me
I'm in the market to get a A6300, would you say shooting 1-4minute clips on and off would still cause overheating? Cause so far I've been hearing people who record over 10+minutes have the overheating issue. So my assumption is the camera wouldnt overheat if I'm doing small clips every 2-4mins. What do you think?
I'm sure you'll be fine with short clips as long as the camera is not in direct sunlight on a hot day.
How about using a vertical grip, since it uses a dummy battery and also extends the camera body. I use the a6000 third party vertical grip on my a6300 but haven't done the tests.
+Steven lam I might consider trying it in the future. I just wish Sony made their own grip for the a6300
I respect the ingenuity of you trying to solve this cameras problems. however, the fact that this video is NOT a parody of the camera's inherent engineering issues is a parody in itself.
So, how's the overheating going with the $1000 frying pan?
The cage also keeps your warm hands off the body of the camera. There are inexpensive handles that attach to the cage that will help even more. Great video... Thanks.
g7 vs a6300 what do you guys pick
+Ohene's Journey a6300!
Any link for the rig cage for the A6300. Had been searching for that
I just did a google search for smallrig cage a6300. You'll see several vendors pop up. Just try to buy one in your country or closest to you.
Can you give me an update on overheating? I'm either getting the G7, ATOMOS, or 6300
If you really want continuous recording and not worrying about overheating, I would get the G7, you can by an unlocked one with no limit 4k recording from a forum.
Hi, I'm planing to buy this camera. I'm shooting music videos. Because of that, I rarely make continuous shots longer that 5 minutes (just when I'm recording the singing parts). Usually, I'm turning off the recording button every 10 - 20 seconds to reframe the shot. This type of shoot can go on even an hour without a break longer than 5 minutes. Can you please tell me, under these circumstances, can I expect overheating issues??
Sorry for the delay in reply. It's risky. It could overheat still. Even when the camera is on (not recording) it can overheat. Also, it appears that different model a6300's overheat faster than others, or that is the presumed theory.
Hello,
what is the lens on your camera?
Thanks
85 Batis
Cool video and very helpful information. Spend a grand for overheating problems and a half-hour at that. Investing in a Canon 80d as a rookie probably better for me but no 4k.
Canon 80D is good. I'd recommend that over the a6300 if starting.
Nice very helpfull video... i can see that you have the batis lens, my question is, do you recommend this lens for recording videos? i can see that it doesnt have the rotary aperture(f-stop) ring on the lens, what do you think about that? Do you think i should go with this lens or another lens??... Is it easy/usefull to controle the aperture in the camera?
+cyigen85 If you're looking to manually focus your lens, and you're focused on video, the batis is not the recommended lens.
+that1cameraguy Im going to use the camera to shoot handheld videos 50% of the times auto focus....A big problem is that there isnt much to choose from for this camera.. What else can i get with 85mm that have image stabilization? can you recommend one? maybe from another brand that fits the e mount?
+cyigen85 There isn't any other lenses that I'm aware of. If you absolutely need this focal length with the OSS, then this lens is the best choice.
Terrific tip @that1cameraguy! Great video! I like how it also provides an external protection. Are you shooting outdoor videos and still being able to shoot that long with the sun beating on it? Mahalo much.
No, you really can't shoot with the cage in direct sunlight, it will overheat sadly. I really don't trust the a6300 for long recordings at 4k. I was out in about 95 degree F weather, and the a6300 overheat warning came on with the cage and I was just taking photos
Thank you very much again. I just spent the last two hours watching your videos. I really appreciate you putting these videos together. Still deciding on the A6300 or 80D. Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo!
Do you need the 4k?
I see where you're going with that question. Nope I don't do any video shooting. However the 80D is like lugging a brick around when I'm in Europe shooting for hours. Hence looking for a lighter and compact camera like the A6300. The 80D also makes you looks like an American tourist and screaming to please rob me. =) On the flip side, Canon shoots amazing shots and has many pro.
If that's the case, go for the a6300. You get great image quality. Just bring a few extra batteries. If you're willing to learn the nuances of that camera, you'll really like the a6300.
Makes sense. I have not experienced overheating with my a6300 yet. That said I may still buy this for other reasons. What cage is this?
+skatertwig26 Just search smallrig a6300. You should find it.
that1cameraguy For sure thanks!!!
What external charger do you use attached to the camera while recording?
I just use one I bought from Amazon. Just make sure reviews are decent.
@that1cameraguy I saw your post on the a6000 overheating fix by ifixit. Did you every try again to get past the copper heat sink?
No, I couldn't get myself to open up the camera further. I just didn't want to damage it.
