opened all the doors, nice experiment dude 👍
I did the same room tempeture 20° it only lasted 23 minutes. Without the fan
Thanks you very much for testing! I really appreciated 👍🏻
Wow this video answered all my questions. And the open door tip! great video
I love your test style: No BS straight practical. Thank you!
🙏
Clearly my notifications are not working today. Fantastic tests as always! What a great camera
Great video brother! This is the video I needed!
Great Video Test! Thank you so much for this!
Nice test
What was the room temperature 24C / 75F ? Good video and info, thanks. I've been considering the a6700.
Awesome video and review. Had my E1 overheat very quickly while USB streaming at 1080 60p and 30p so I started looking for solutions. Thanks!
how did it go
Great Video Test! Thank you so much very helpful video
thanks brother, great test!
this channel deserves more subscribers immediately. One question, did you record the videos in 8 or 10 bits?
10bit 4:2:2
Thank you for this test
good video, I liked the demonstration
Awesome video, very comprehensive.
One thing I would add is for me XAVC HS 4K (the HEVC/H.265 codec) gives the same quality at 100mbit as H.264 at 200mbit and I never get any overheating with it. I have my camera permanently set to 4k50 (PAL). Tested for 6.5 hours straight, no problem (I stopped the test as I got impatient and wanted to play with the camera some more :P).
interesting! how did you power the camera for so long?
@@adischenker1851 that was usb-c streaming straight to the laptop, if using usb-c for power and hdmi output to 4k capture card then it does overhead with the port/battery doors closed but doesn’t if I leave those open. After 6.5 hours it has around 87% battery left powering over USB-C so there is some power drain but it’s very slow.
@@DigiDriftZone 6.5 hours is crazy...do you know if it's possible to power the camera via USB without a battery inside? i'm not interested in streaming only filming in hot temperatures outside and assume the battery is getting hot inside...
@@adischenker1851 I haven’t tried but you could use a dummy battery if you wanted to do that, there are usb-C ones.
You have to have the battery in the camera when using the usb-c cable but you can get a dummy battery instead of
Great video, thanks! :)
Yeah, what was your recording settings? Was you doing 10 bit In all intra or in Long Gop?
Man! i love this video, all is interesting, Claps for you! i really see more of this product, I have that problem too, my camera overheats while recording only 25 minutes :(( Where did you get that fan? I got an offer on Aliexpress
Got mine straight thru the Ulanzi website
Even without the fan, this camera is a beast !
can you do another video with the dummy battery? i would really really appreciate it
DOES THE NEW FIRMWARE HELP WITH THE HEAT, I shoot slog 3 in 20°celcius 68f it shut down after 23 min. Doors open temp to high on a cage,
Please redo a test outside in hot sun , inside the environment is controlled
That is a factory freak for sure. I tried 3 units and i cant get over 28mins 4k60 even with all doors open it just doesnt happen so i gave up on them and paid double for the fx3. You are lucky as hell
From what I’ve been told, the latest update that gives the camera 120fps also helped fix the “performance stability” which I believe is Sonys wording for fixing the overheating issues that came with the original sold units
So my fan literally came in the mail today. i have the a6700 I didn't hook it up yet as i shoot in 24p.. and haven't any overheating issues yet. but i got it just incase as i'll be moving back to thailand next year
What’s the room temperature that’s the most important
Would you recommend this camera for an hr of podcasting at 24fps? I mean I saw the results you produced..super helpful but other videos I saw bothered me..this video by far has given me relief..thank you..please let me know so I get one last confirmation.. 👍
I’ve used mine for live steaming and only had an issue when it was in the original firmware. The newer firmware kinda fixed the overheating issue
Was this test done with the latest firmware update? I ask because one issue Sony addressed was “operational stability.” Could that mean better heat management? Your results seem better than tests done several months ago.
Yes the firmware update was done on this camera, but to my knowledge it’s was just an update to unlock the 120fps but it definitely could have something else in the update that might have helped. Between this test, shooting in 100degree temps in Florida and Mexico I haven’t event seen the temp warning on the camera in real use

Benefits and Improvements
Fixes an issue where some movie metadata (Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO, etc.) may not be recorded
Fixes an issue where JPEG files may not be enlarged and played
Fixes an issue where Switch V/H AF Area may not work correctly
Fixes a Creators' App issue where the Auto Time Correction and Auto Area Adjustment features turn off
Improves the operational stability of the camera.
Nice video! I bought that same fan, but for some reason, it won't stick/stay on my ZVE10. I also use the little tap bor better grip and still won't stick/stay.
Did you put that sticker on the back of the camera?
my zv-e10 never overheats
Could spray the sticky side of the plastic with fabric adhesive - let the solvent flash off for 30 seconds then apply it. Can also spray on to cardboard then use a brush to apply it to the camera body
The best use of this trinket seems to be between takes when you know your camera is heating up. The fan will trap heat if it's not running so ideally just pop it on, as Kyle suggested, on high for five or ten minutes between takes and you'll probably knock 12 degrees off camera temperature and get another half hour of shooting time. For those who do shoot in very hot environments, these occasionally cooling breaks would keep you going all day. Putting the ZV-E1 under a normal fan with the doors open would do the same thing and cool you too. But if you are shooting outside, you might not have a fan with you. Keep in mind most cars with some pretty fierce ventilation. Doors open in front of a car's air conditioning will cool a ZV-E1 will cool it very fast too.
Haven't decided if I want one myself as I haven't had too many issues with overheating and just the door trick should help with long indoor takes on a tripod. It's not so much the money up front but that the Ulanzi fan is another piece of equipment to take care of, carry around, keep charged and worry about.
Another thing to add that I recently found out is that the latest update that adds 4k 120fps also fixes “operational stability” of the camera which I believe is the overheating issue. Sony won’t actually come out and say overheating issue but I believe they did fix it in that update ( which is why my camera may have done a lot better in these tests compared to some other peoples tests from when the camera was released)
Good point. I haven't had serious issues with overheating unless AI framing was running together with 4K 50p. In that case overheating hit at 20 minutes. @@KyleWattsTV
I have bought one to try how it does on quickly bringing an overheated camera back into action. As an insurance policy when on an important shoot, the Ulzanzi C072GBB1 Fan could be a very useful piece of gear for ZV-E1 video shooters. I like to shoot long stretches at 50p to allow slow motion for key moments.@@KyleWattsTV
Opening the port doors reduces heat from that side a lot.
This guy does a handful of tests and has the ZV-E1 shooting 4k60 10bit until the battery dies just with all doors open. Search this title: "Does The Ulanzi Cooling Fan Really Work? Sony ZV-E1 Overheating Test". I bet the fan will really help you if you are adamant about using bluetooth. I dont have this camera but am thinking about buying it for podcasting.
Also one thing that is not taken in consideration, holding the camera and the heat from your hand. I just did a shoot at the gym, 2hrs. Took small clips one minut long max and had overheating issues with doors open, at 4k50p. Twice auto-shutdown. I had to power off between shoots. Your hands heats the camera ALOT! Having it on a tripod is much cooler.
I recorded a weightlifting competition for 8 hours, filming 20-40sec clips with 4k100p (tripod and doors open) and got about 2 overheating the whole day.
Hey, Kyle! What is that mini tripod you're using?? (The flat one, in the B-roll) Really like it!
I believe that was the stand from one of the lights from zhyiun. Not sure if you can get it separate from the light kit.
Any chance of doing it outside?
I think you paid attention to so many technical terms that in my opinion you didn't do what most people are really curious to know.
You simply did tests in the scenario in which the camera is proposed to be sold, which is inside a studio or office with controlled temperature focused on vlogs or content, I don't think anyone is interested in knowing this because that's what the camera is sold for, If it didn't meet the needs for what it was proposed to do, there would simply be absurd complaints and zero market sales.
People are more interested in using it for purposes it was not intended to do, simply for the money, not everyone lives in the USA and has the financial means to buy a camera for every type of situation.
A lot of people want to know if it could handle the Ulzanfi recording in 4K 60 under the sun for example (yes, no cameraman has the luxury of constantly changing framerate, at weddings even 1 second lost can be fatal and miss something important), as many People don't have the courage to use the ZVE1 because of its overheating, but if it lasted a long time at 4K 60 under sunlight, I think people would easily migrate from the A7IV to the ZVE1.
4k 60fps 600mbps or 200 mbps ?
Great video but try it with webcam mode. It will overheat after 20 minutes
I literally did a 2 hour meeting with it last week and it was fine.
im just gonna to cut off all the usb and battery door off. and stays that way all the time like bmpcc lol.
you should have tested this in the refrigerator lol .
How is 4K60 a 'Dumb Test' because 'You' don't use it much?? Lots of people use 4k60 and cameras for different reason. As you stated, sports..but then Music Videos or even stylized coverage that you plan to use a lot of slow mo. In a Run and Gun situation, you don't always know what you want to shoot for slow mo vs 24fps so it is easier to shoot it all in 4k60 and then chop it up in post to make creative decisions.
the sony cameras overheat at high ISOs, not in a controlled situation
Most people test at 4k 60p is less than 30mins. You are lucky or a liar
The update probably made it better
