I use a tiny usb powered computer fan I bought on Amazon for about $10. I connect it via usb to my v-mount battery and attach it in the gap right in between the battery and my a7iv. Works really well when I shoot for very long periods of time outdoors in Miami. Might do a yt vid about it.
As long as you aren't recording long takes you are good with this camera. (weddings, interviews..) Just do short bursts with any of the 4k modes and it won't overheat at all. You can literally make a short/feature film or even commercials professionally. At least in my experience so far. Great video btw Jason!
Yeah but at the price point to have to sacrifice yourself to short clips….there are much better options out there in terms of price that don’t overheat and take good stills. My bet is 4K 120 ain’t coming and if it does good luck.
@@anzidmtgI have a a7r2 that I use an external battery and HDMI capture for, essentially streaming for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for work. I’ve never had an issue with it overheating, as it’s not doing the recording work
Excellent video - you didn't try to do too much, and didn't leave out any of the important points to be made about the product. Thanks for getting to the point, and not leaving any crucial information out. That seems to be the exception to the rule, when it comes to product reviews. Incidentally, I suspect that many mirrorless cameras typically get hot towards the front of the camera, around the camera lens.
I 3D printed a holder for a laptop fan for my a1 which would overheat outdoor in 40 mins at 8K. The fan blowing into the SD card door allowed me to record 8 hours 8k30fps continuously.
Going to buy it for wedding video's simply for the 4k 120 fps with just 10% crop. Going to use it as my B cam. For slowmotion shots, so not for the important parts. Looking forward to receiving it.
I contacted the seller of the fan and they recommended a different model for the zve1 than your one with dual fans, I ordered it, hopefully it performs even better :)
@@patrickmoney1894 I have the fan but even without the fan, I streamed 4k30 for 6.5 hours over USB in a 24c room, no overheating issues. I then recorded 4k50 h265 4:2:0 (PAL) for near enough 2 hours in direct sunlight at 28c and I overheated and got a sun burn, but the camera was fine. I had the LCD screen extended facing me and the side ports open (external mic), I also had the battery door open just in case. I don't know if it's the 4:2:0 10 bit instead of 4:2:2 or the open battery door but I couldn't get the camera to overheat so I've not tried the fan yet. I'll try with 100fps as it is sure to overheat then.
Brother, and if you try to power the camera from an external battery through a dummy battery on the site with a Sony np-f battery. This saved me from overheating on the a6300 and I could record for hours)
I know there are times where people may want to record constantly for that long but most people would be taking smaller bursts of footage, would suit most people I would have thought
I guess you can try to use some of the peltier cooling modules made for phones to get lower temps, those things can get down to the negatives. One downside is they are typically powered by usb instead of having a battery built in. You should test it with the camera.
when sony was making this camera they were in the lab like "MAKE IT SMALLER" "BUT SIR, ITS TOO MUCH POWER FOR IT TO HANDLE, ITS GOING TO OVERHEAT" "I DONT CARE MAKE IT SMALLER"
In reality, they probably said "MAKE IT OVERHEAT." If these cameras didn't overheat, it would be harder to sell the more expensive cameras that don't overheat.
This fan also has another series with 2 fans and 4 fans for better performance, the way it works is simply that it blows air into the front of the camera and cools it.
I’m really happy about this as while I haven’t got my ZV-E1 to overheat on me yet I have this just in case. I have been using the camera for over a month now and and find my FX-30 just not getting used now. Every UA-camer except Jason would recommend getting an FX-30 over this camera. But once you use a full frame camera there is no going back. The differences are night and day.
@@muellerfilm obviously is not day and night because I use a super 35 Arri Alexa and it puts to shame full frame. I agree with Jason FX30 is way better for pros. Full Frame is overrated.
@@jennifergala Your comparing a $75K “depending on which model”cinema camera to ZV-E1 ha ha ha. But comparing to the FX-30 yes its night and day. Shooting in full frame is like painting on a bigger canvas. Unfortunately the super 35mm sensor in the FX30 and Alexa super 35mm are not in same league. The only reason Alexa or other cinema cameras were super 35mm sensors in the first place was most existing lens support was built around the format. But in past few years there has been a substantial shift, however ARRI, Sony, Canon and RED all releasing full frame cinema cameras. Since you have the super 35 Arri Alexa you should really consider trading in for Arri Alexa LF full frame model.
@@muellerfilm FX30 is way better actually. Just use a fast glass cine lens or regular lens and watch your exposure. The results are amazing. FF has lots of noise as well if you don't expose well. Is all about knowing how to use the camera most don't.
If you’re using this as a 1080p webcam does it still have heating issues? Want to get this as a travel camera, but also use it for streaming and work meetings when at home.
I may have to get the white version as it will reject heat. I wonder if your lens was wrapped in white if it would make a difference? Cameras and leses being black are kinda of a magnet for heat in direct sunlight. Still, the value for what youre getting for this camera is incredible
Mine never overheated.. because i returned it immediately 😆 hopefully they exchange it out asap.. i bought it new and was sent a used one!! No bs.. body was marked up n all.. smh,, But still, i'm itching to use it,, Kinda silly to have to use that gadget but hey, if it works, then it's well worth it!
I think you should've got the one " Recommended for you" on the right AU $44.94. I got that one for my A7 IV and it blows the outside air onto the back of the camera and then the air exits thru the side vents, and it has no internal battery so the cooling is supposed to be better for that reason as well.
Yeah, Fuji has a fan that attaches to the X-H2/X-H2S that costs $200... and it'll also work with the X-S20 when it comes out later this month. In my case, I'm recording whole volleyball matches, so I needed something that could cool itself. While I use Fuji for photography, the fan attachment solution felt cumbersome. My alternatives were the Panasonic GH6 and the FX30. I went with the FX30 ... just got it and so far things look promising.
Thank you!! 🙏 I was waiting for this review so long. I shoot wedding with a7iv+fan 4k60. Even standard overheat option, it never had overheat problem. I was excited to try this on Zve1🥲
Please give me some advice. I want to buy my first sony camera. before that I shot on kenon and fujifilm. I shoot video. Thought about the A7s3, but it's too expensive.... Is it worth it to save money and get this little ZV-e1? I shoot short rils, weddings, and various other non-long videos
i wonder if two fans (back and top) in a pull configuration instead of pushing would actually be alot more sufficient. I get this is a old video and your not going to do a video about it but it is really curious
I had to watch the whole video...Heat will always travel faster through metal, that's why the lens mount is hot. if you put an aluminum plate on the back somehow or those heatsinks for computers that are slotted you will also improve heat dissipation.
in 2023 and a camera that costs more than $2000. We back 10 years before when make those tricks with sony a5100 and a6000. Also i really want to know if someone owner of this camera have tested long time record at 1080p (60fps). what about overheating issue at 1080p/60fps?
There was another youtuber who just put a handheld fan blowing on it and it had unlimited recording. I think thats the best solution for long form recording. I mean, its not moving so why not? I think ill still get the zv e1, skip the micro fan and just have blowing air around the camera. Maybe you could test that out
Hi Jason, is it normal for unboxing the camera and while going through the menus photo and video to customised then having the camera overheat ? I was thinking I should returned it or trade for another one… I was indoors, temperature was nice, not very hot… I couldn’t believe it…
I doubt the usage of the ZVE-1 recording would be a 20-30 minute clip. I suspect 10 second to 3 minutes per video take would be the more common usage. A good portable camera.
What's the method of attaching the fan to the A7iv or securing it in position? Additionally, could you provide information about how easy it is to detach the fan from the A7iv for travel?

@@demonhogo yeah that’s what I’m leaning towards… but it’s damn pricey. It’s hard to justify as although it’s for “professional” work, that’s a long ROI… especially if I need 2 of them…
I'm just going to say it. It's not good enough for Sony to deliver any camera that can overheat in autumn in Australia. Mid summer in the hot sun it's going to be unusable. It's poor design and a nod to style over function. And it's not like Sony don't know how to make cameras that don't overheat. It's currently retailing for about $AUD3,200 and what? They couldn't include a $30 fan and controller and make the body 5mm bigger? It almost like they deliberately crippled it.
I was wondering. I bought the fx30 cuz my a5100 made me angry haha. I was watching random youtube videos and came upon some mobile phone cooling fans. I thought maybe any of those could work on overheating cameras... if someone has tried could share :)
@@Ken-vl4wk 🤣 4k60 is such an odd thing - I love the way it looks, but I don't see it very often. On UA-cam, even NFL highlights are displayed at 1080p30 (maybe 1080/60 with UA-cam's paid "enhanced bitrate" option?). There are some great-looking shows that look spectacular on a 16 inch Macbook Pro, but I don't know what streaming standard they use - I would guess 4K24 (although please do surprise me, if Netflix or someone else streams at 4K60). I love the way 4K60 looks so much that I want it, but I seem to be in the minority - most people seem to prefer watching 4K24 for cinema, and don't seem to notice how much smoother and realistic everything looks in 4K60... or maybe they just don't like that it looks realistic? The funny thing is that if you had access to 5 camera points around an NFL field and five prosumer cameras, you could produce 4k60 NFL highlights in about 24 hours, and they would be FAR superior to the highlights that the NFL produces. It's crazy - no one seems to give a crap about outputting in 4K60, even though 4K60 is absolutely ideal for sports. I'm rambling, aren't I?
Yap, I have the F plus version of this fan (3-speed fan), and tested it while shooting 4k60p using the lowest speed, worked until my battery died or when my SD card was filled up, that was about one and a half hours (at least). It did produce a slight bit of noise, but if you use a shotgun mic, you wouldn't notice it in post unless you crank your volume all the way up.
@@arthuryang3004 Why F plus and not G (as shown on the website)? Can you share photo on how it sticks on? Can you easily remove and close the flip screen?

The funny thing is that if you had access to 5 camera points around an NFL field and five prosumer cameras, you could produce 4k60 NFL highlights in about 24 hours, and they would be FAR superior to the highlights that the NFL produces. It's crazy - no one seems to give a crap about outputting in 4K60, even though 4K60 is absolutely ideal for sports.
I'm rambling, aren't I?
Anybody got this and tested with ZV-E1?
Yap, I have the F plus version of this fan (3-speed fan), and tested it while shooting 4k60p using the lowest speed, worked until my battery died or when my SD card was filled up, that was about one and a half hours (at least). It did produce a slight bit of noise, but if you use a shotgun mic, you wouldn't notice it in post unless you crank your volume all the way up.
@@arthuryang3004 Why F plus and not G (as shown on the website)? Can you share photo on how it sticks on? Can you easily remove and close the flip screen?
