Quick update! I've been doing more testing and if the camera is in single point autofocus (or manual focus) instead of face/animal AF it DOES NOT OVERHEAT at all with this mod. Still have to do more tests to verify but it's great news!
Nice!
That's awesome. Good job fixing their camera!
I've been curious since originally watching this video as to the long term effects of this mod on the stability of the camera. Specifically I was wondering about the large ribbon cable coming from the sensor, and if the heat from the heatsink passing so closely to it has had any physical affect on the ribbon cable, or in any other negative/unforeseen impact.
Overall this was such a cool fix, and seemed like something Canon themselves should have addressed. I'm curious why they didn't.
Thank you for what you do.
Do You mean It's not overheats without any cooling system? :O
Can we get more details on the copper plate? Like the exact dimensions so we can recreate it?
"This morning when I went into the studio I noticed that the lights flickered a bit, so I had my tea and then drove down the road to the local power station, where I rebuilt their nuclear reactor to better manage its power output. Then back home for lunch, and no annoying flicker!"
wow
back for lunch only haha
Yes!
I am reading this with Matt’s voice in my head
That actually sounds like Matt!
Who would win? A whole orchestra of Canon engineers (bottlenecked by the corporate team trying to separate their mirrorless line from cinema line) or one British boi making UA-cam videos?
It's a shame, really...
tbh canon should just leave mirrorless to sony and stick to dlsrs

What a great mod. Even without the water you basically unbroke the camera. 40 min is perfectly usable in most use cases. I can't believe the pad contact they used, good on you for revealing poor manufacturing and software implementations on an otherwise good looking product. Hopefully this drives companies to fix such simple things like better engineering in crucial areas on launch.
Extremely impressed at the quality of the final soliton - basically looks like stock, and the heat sink attachment is OP

This is brilliant. I was able to use a similar concept to get amazing performance out of home theater amplifiers by adding active cooling. Many of these cheap amplifiers are absolutely fantastic but highly limited thermally.
Man you are just next level... I thought that you were critiquing the thermal pad placement without realising that they were probably mainly intended to cool those DRAM chips, because I did not expect you to also have a detailed understanding of specialised computer components. But you do, as you proof later in the video, when also cooling them, in addition to the CPU! Your general knowledge is just amazing
Canon camera engineers: Write that down! Write that down!!
Charles?
I’d blame management for this whole stuff up, I’m pretty sure the engineers did the simulations for the cooling and said that it’s not enough, but management forced them to do it like this anyway. All in the name of product segmentation and thin profit margins. (Not sure on the thin profit margins one though, correct me if these cameras are cheaper to produce than i think)

@@KarrasBastomi What happened to weathersealing?
This is such a brilliant channel. Matt is a legit genius and so humble! Great work and video as always!
Nicely done. I'm guessing you were prioritising keeping the camera as close to original as possible. If not; the thing that struck me was that you could cut a hole in the outer casing to expose the new metal. Potentially even with a low profile heatsink. That way you can potentially cool it entirely passively.
I'm currently enjoying a cool 28 degree breeze late at night, with day time temperatures usually in the 30s or 40s. So am thinking about how far I'd need to go to make it viable for my use-cases.
Absolute madman.

The decisions from bean counters often override the decisions of engineers.
Sometimes it's for dumb shit, like saving four cents by using cheap shitty Chinese capacitors that will die frequently.
do you seriously think that they were not aware of this?
Absolutely brilliant ! I thought about making a thin waterblock with 2 copper plates and water going through it, but it needs to circulate outside the camera, hence through holes to be made. Anyway, congratulations !!!

A bit late to the party but there is a safety regulation that calls for a limit to temperature rise on materials which end user touches, I think it is around 52-53C?
Coupled with the fact that it should be fairly well sealed from dust etc (its not officially IP rated I assume but I guess dust in camera = dead), they wouldn't want to risk having any openings.
Great video, and much more professional finish than I expected! thank you.
Super cool test! I know a lot of armature astrographers who need to have extreme long exposure times for their images. They mod their DSLR’s with heat sinks, pleiters and fans to avoid artifacts due to heat problems

Those tweaks would increase price significantly. Guy on the video used high quality thermal paste and copper which both are extremely expensive.

@@dand337 what else you can get in such a price range and in a compact size.
@@ibbad5555 dunno, but form what I've seen on the video it's not like there is no room for improvements. It's definitely possible to cool this camera down without adding too much to the price. However development costs may also be an issue.

After reading "watercooled" and "camera" in the same sentence, I imagined you would do what Linus did, to that poor RED camera, in a more sophisticated and well thought manner.
After seeing that the watercooling was used only as a "proof of concept" I was surprised
And when you ended up designing a new thermal solution, better than the entire R&D department of Canon could, I was just shocked!!
Two thumbs up!!!!
excellent work!!!
Oh, Canon could make these cameras run ice cold if they wanted to. But that would cut into sales of their C-line of cinema cameras.
It's called marketing trick and keeping the market of mid range camera's alive.
Canon: We’ve been making cameras for decades. We know what we’re doing.
UA-camr: ...hold my beer...
😂😂😂😂😂
Bold of you to asume they didn't know what they're doing, it was probably directives trying to cut out as much as they could from the cost of the camera so they could sell it as "an affordable 8k Capable Video camera"
You are right, they do know exactly what they are doing. Pushing you to full frame first by killing their best selling system (M). And then making it just bad enough for filming so you also buy a C70. That's very smart marketing.
@@lekkerpruven887 Their best selling system is the Canon EOS Rebel T7, and it was hardly killed.

For the price point it’s amazing but I hope in the future cameras come with water blocks and internal cooling as this heat problem is just going to get worse over time as more powerful technology arrives, great video as always

This guy solo came up with better thermal design than Canon entire engineering department.
Canon probably designed it like this on purpose, to limit the camera's abilities.
This would cut into their cinema camera sales if it could record 8k for extended periods of time.
There's always tradeoffs.. Sure the engineers could make it run cooler but then the camera would be double the size as a result
Well.. then solution is as big or more than the camera..
@@IrishSkruffles or, you know, the same size. But with copper heatpipes inside.
There's 2 issues with that statement. You don't know the different thermal designs the Cannon engineers considered before settling on the final design. As Matt said in the video, it's about priorities. Engineers have to consider feedback from the bean counters and often scale back design to meet cost constraints. Also, he probably didn't do it alone. Matt isn't the first person to upgrade the cooling of their high end camera. He most likely checked out what others have done and use that as a foundation for his own project.
I don't own a camera, nor I am into photography, but the content of this channel is SO interesting! And the way you achieve things, is just amazing.
I don't think I have ever callef anyone a genius on UA-cam. But here it is. You're such a genius! Canon should actually pay you!
Unlimited recording times...
SD Card: ArE YoU SuRe AboUT ThAT
Canon may lift 30min limit on video and add an option to switch cards during recording. And then, they could even add some sane options for RAW recording, as current Canon RAW is taxing like hell and hard to work with.
Thats what Sony did with A7S III...
You can probably output the video feed to a PC/laptop when you're in your studio and right into your editor bypassing the need to plug and copy files around... but yeah 8k files are huge anyway X )
Next video: I hooked a 15TB SSD to my camera 😂
*laughs in 1tb microsd*
next video: I added a data center to my camera...
The fact that you were able to make the mod and still close it just fine is surprising and amazing. I could see Canon implementing something similar in a revision.
You mean implementing something that will prohibit this mod. Canon loves it's cinema line more than it's stills line.
@@rhalfik yeah I doubt that canon engineers are that dumb, if they wanted they could easily prevented overheating altogether but management demanded a better product segmentation so that they don't cannibalize their cinema lineup and since their other cameras won't go away, they won't fix that in any future revisions
So the part he fabricated out of copper by hand would actually be a rather expensive part in a 'at scale' manufacturing environment (relevant to the punched aluminum part) sinc it would require CNC or a large press die and the part is made from copper. His point about heat pipes is totally legitimate and 100% a good practical manufacturing solution. The reality, as many have pointed out, is that Canon is making engineer decisions about the product based on buisness decisions regarding higher end lines. This is ultimately costing them since it's resulting in them creating an inferior product that ultimately is loosing out to less confined manufacturers. This likely speaks to why they didn't pursue a better cooling solution since it would have resulted in a higher MSRP, or the bill if materials (BOM) cost eating into margins and thus seem like a poor buisness choice, rather than a smart product choice.
I've looked over a lot of camera, and various other sensor teardowns and one thing I've noticed about Canon is they tend to gimp there product in software on purpose to cause stratification. That or they skip out on a relatively inexpensive component and loose a feature because it means they can make a higher end version that has sed feature. This worked just fine when Canon was the only game in town, but the reality is they're not that competitive of a product and I don't think they're worth the price. There still good imaging devices, and once you cross a particular price point they're totally legit, however that price point is moving further and further away from the consumer/prosumer budgets.
I haven't bought any L mount glass amd still have Canon mount EF lenses but I'm unlikely to buy a Canon camera body any time soon, unless they rework there buisness strategies.
@@MorRobots Good point !! Canon really should learn : a camera which costs more but works is better than a camera that cost less and doesn't work !!
@@MorRobots While I won't say you are wrong, its also about goals. Its really supposed to be a stills camera, that can sort of do other things. So being as light as you can make it in budget was probably the highest priority. That copper is going to add some mass, which you probably don't want as a still camera.
I used thermal pads between my sensor and the back plate on my T3i for astro work. And then a dual stage tech (two $3 12v 60W units), but running at 3.6v and a old and heatsink/fan. All removable and undetectable. For astro work (5 minute sub frames), one sec off, repeat for hours, it works wonders. It's still working 12 years now.
Fascinating piece. Love the ideas you come up with. Keep up the great work and look forward to more!

How is one person able to do that? Like how, you just made a incredibly valuable change to an already incredibly valuable product. I love that you do it for education instead of purely for profit though :)
So... a 10 cent piece of copper and some proper thermal paste fixes 98% of the overheating issue?!?! Can't believe Canon screwed that up. Adding this type of active cooling to a battery grip would be so easy for them to do, and like you said, sell it for $400. You should patent that piece of copper and sell it as a kit for all R5 users. I'd buy one.
It would not surprise me to see this in an R5 II. As ridiculous as it is that Canon didn't fix this in advance, it could be pure marketing to leave some room for improvement. Because apart from the overheating problem (which really isn't that big of a deal for the vast majority of users) it doesn't seem to be much to improve here from a practical point of view. Just my two cents.
you don't even need active cooling, just have a "heat window" out of copper on the outside of the camera somewhere. people would pay a 1000 extra for limitless recording, and it would also look pretty cool. it would be warm though
The amount of faith you have that it wasn’t done intentionally is astounding. Basic electronics design always includes thermal management - this level of negligence is intentional.
@@Brownboy42069 I was thinking along the same lines seeing that they hadn't used copper to begin with.

Bro, I admire your ingenuity, wish it was something I had myself
As a potential customer of an R5, COVID delayed my purchase as I my business has been affected. Video is not really important as stills, but this is the first video I've come across that discusses the R5's heating issue beautifully. I can now see where Canon has made the engineering mistakes and the low-quality thermal management.
I know there is a lot of technology going on here, but for what is essentially a $4K+ camera, I would have expected better of Canon to deal with this.
Until COVID lifts and my photography business picks up, I can hope that an R5v2.0 or even the just announced R3 will do a better job.
Excellent video. Well done!
Market segmentation that's why, they don't want this competing with their dedicated video cameras. Canon has a history of crippling products for this exact reason.
lots of tech companies do this, it's by no means just Canon. It's basically industry standard practice to artificially cripple your consumer products so your enterprise customers have to pay the higher ticket you set, often with a hugely higher margin.
My favorite example being Intel's hyperthreading, unlocked CPUs, and ECC memory support, all of which cost nothing to implement, they are features by default and disabled based on which tier they are binned into based upon other factors (such as functional number of cores, and amount of voltage it takes to hit a given clock speed). Core count reductions in down step chips may actually cost money, since it does at least take some tooling and time to remove badly behaving cores rather than just leaving them there but turning them off, but we cant have i3s that can be potentially unlocked into i7s like the old AMD phenom days now can we, especially if the clock speed was also left unlocked? I finally recycled it, but I had a phenom ii x2 that had 1 more functional core that could be unlocked on a motherboard with the option.
@@RandarTheBarbarian Intel still uses hyper threading as product segmentation. For more then half a decade the only difference between an I5 and I7 was intel flipping a switch in some microcode and charging hundreds of dollars for it.
@@devilmikey00 yep, that's something I said...

This camera wasn't dropped
All that's left now is the camera being dropped.
I came here to say that
And he put back together a lot sooner before linus
Well hes camera aka linus camera they use a red camera forgot the name so yeah
Mission accomplished, I bet canon learned a few things here, great to have a real engineer for the people doing things like this. That will be a good side hustle to make that 3rd party piece. Cheers mate.
am amazed on your problem solving technique. thank you for sharing.

This guy just made the perfect EOS R5. One that everyone dreamed of.
@Tzuede Off the Cuff Locked in to inferiour sony ? Cannot afford the r5 ? Prehaps you just need a hug.
@@nordic5490 R5 is a very inconsistent product, I never considered it for my company and wouldn't still consider it even after their firmware update.
You can't even chose the chroma subsampling
Canon trying to sell their higher-end cine cameras: Wait, that's illegal
Yes that's really clever illegal
Wasn't/isn't there an EU tax regarding video cameras which is why "stills" cameras with video functions have such seemingly short max record times?
@@juststeve5542 The EU doesn't have a unified tax system, each country has their own rules.
@@stm91 they set import taxes for some items imported from outside the EU. It's protectionism for EU manufacturers, although I can't actually think of any EU video camera manufacturers, so in this case it might have just been greed!
Google "EU video camera tax".
However it appears that that has come to an end in the last year or so.

This is truely inspiring... Thankyou Sir for such a wonderful and intuitive video.. teaches and entertains at the sam etime.. thank you!!
"So this is looking great, almost as if it was built this way!"
Absolute scorcher right there lad
What a baller! Great work man!
Partner together and sell this type of modification! You''ll be rich
Hihi just my thoughts too !
Only i would , ad a aluminum or copper/ magnesium backplate aswell .
Thats why panasonics weight so heavy !
Its all metal in/ outside .
Grtzz johny geerts
Yeah go ahead and try it and see how it works.
Thanks! :D
Don't understand why they didn't make the rear shell metal and use it as a massive passive heatsink, clearly your awesome (!) prototype proof of concept is along the same line. Seems like it's marketing/product line separation artificially crippling the retail design for the good of the retail channels... The engineering team must be so frustrated with this design deficiency.
Canon engineers: "write that down write that down..."
lol
i'm amazed by your fine job, looks perfect
Theon Greyjoy and his obsession with water cooling.
Wait till you Linus Tech Tips
Haha exactly he looks similar. But this man is 300 percent more handsome than theon grejoy
Ohh man , you made my day ....... Comment of the month from me .....
Ohh My God! rotfl can not be unseen :D
Lmaoo , this is the exact thing I thought of when I first saw him
or you could just use it to shoot 8k greenland footage
😆👏😆👏😆👏
@Schrabidium Leave Hugo alone bruh Hugo be rad af
@Schrabidium Imagine judging people when you have a furry minecraft profile pic
@@epsilonaurelius4787 oh yea lol. That's very ironic
@@epsilonaurelius4787 LMFAO
They just screwed over customers and you fixed it...
Damn!
Honestly they should pay you money for that!
NO heat-pipes, no copper heatsinks, thermal pads - not paste.... a power board ON TOP of the heating chips... This is by DESIGN... Canon don't want an 8k full frame camera competing with their CINE $20,000 range... given that full frame cameras with L series lenses have amazing picture quality...who'd buy them when a $5,000 camera could do the same? So.... hobble it in a "believable way", not by firmware (that can be hacked) that limits record times, but by the very parts used to keep it cool! It EVEN REPORTS "Too hot!" as an error message - it was released with overheating messages! If overheating was a "mistake" they often crash and shutdown - because the designers weren't expecting it... Not Canon's.... HMMMMMMM! Suspect.
Your truly remarkable engineer!!👍🏻🌟
