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

Outright slapping Canon in the face.
Called them to a duel and won.
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.
Awesome, the overheating issues where the reason I didn't buy it.
You should totally sell a mod kit.

@Das Beast Modus exactly man
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?
FAQ Time! Leave any questions here and I'll update this comment with the answers :) hope you guys enjoy the vid!
Q: Is there any room for improvement here?
A: Absolutely! My solution is very ‘homemade’ and the copper plate could be milled to match the back of the camera and interfaced to it with thermal compound. It may be possible to get it recording in an unlimited way with just a few tweaks, not requiring an external fan.
Q: Will you provide these in kit form? Or a service?
A: Possibly, depending on demand.
Q: Will the fan ruin the audio quality?
A: It’s pretty quiet so not necessarily. If you’re filming with this in 8k you’re likely going to be using external microphones anyway (the internal one is only mono, remarkably)
Q: How did you finance this project?
A: The funds for my projects usually comes from the sponsors I have (Simplisafe in this case) and the kind folk who are supporting me on Patreon.
Q: How did you get the floating camera shots?
A: I just put it on top of a tall drinking glass and masked it out using the last frame (I was moving the glass around with my hand)
Q: Can you spend a month without technology?
A: Hell yeah… I love camping so would happily go for a month if I had the time.
Q: How did you keep track of the screws?
A: I just had a bit of paper with some double sided tape to put the screw heads on to with a little written note of where each one was from.
Q: Why did you start making videos?
A: I just wanted a place to log my homemade projects, honestly.
Q: Sweater make please
A: Lakeland!
Do you have a certain degree? I always wondered if you had an engineering degree or something cause you're so creative.
What are your pc specs

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.
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.

@@KarrasBastomi What happened to weathersealing?
Extremely impressed at the quality of the final soliton - basically looks like stock, and the heat sink attachment is OP
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.

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...

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)

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.

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.

WOW, just WOW... What you have been doing on this channel has been a huge inspiration for me (the invisible PC, improved camera...). You are amazing, keep up the GREAT work!
Such an amazing mod, achieving 30 minutes of recording with just a 5 minutes pause inbetween with the camera looking unmodified is such an amazing feat.
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.
I got to respect the fact that you actually managed to make a "hack fix" that still kept the camera in it's original form and made the 8K pretty much usable even without fan cooling. Great job!
Canon: We’ve been making cameras for decades. We know what we’re doing.

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"

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 )

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
You know it's screwed up when users are willing to void the warranty just to be satisfied on the product.
actually u dont void ur warranty by taking it apart as long as ur not destroying or removing anything.
Some companys still wont take the return but its illegal and u would win in court
@@r00kiet80 he replaced the metal plate
but still, yeah, companies would rather leave you alone than* go to court, it's cheaper that way and the extra bonus of the customer paying them (companies) more if they frick up is just a win for them
Edit: typo
@@OninDynamics u could just but the original pieces back no big deal.
@@r00kiet80 yeah, for most people.
I think a lot of the stupid rules companies impose on themselves is because some idiot breaks their product, goes to court with the company for a stupid complaint, then company lost money even after winning the case. Then everyone has to face the consequences.
You know its screwed up when a firmware update fixes the overcooling timer (aka they already had a temperature sensor and decided not to use it so it would be more inconvenient)
Linus would be proud lol
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
This man just ended Canon R&D's entire career with one video
@南城旧人 LTT has done it before to the RED camera.
The lack of cooling is coming from people dealing with finance and their bosses.
People in finance will move and trick numbers, any way possible, so it looks like they're doing a good job. They and their bosses are the reason for almost every flaw in games, products, businesses. They fuck up so much, even in my own job.
boom baam bida boom bam boom paw... Career ended
My Fuji X-H2S has this exact design! You can buy a external fan that you can attach for longer runtime, exactly as you have shown here...

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.
@@AmaraTheBarbarian 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...
Yeah! It's designed with poor cooling, and has warnings built into the OSD! No heatpipes, no copper, no cooling paste.... put a circuit board on top...... so it LOOKS like they made a mistake, and is incredibly hard to fix for the user (no firmware hacks for instance)
@@AmaraTheBarbarian Apple....with their iphone update
I think your conclusion is missing the part where Canon Wants this camera to overheat, to prevent cannibalizing their cinema lineup.
Damn it, Wes. You just put yourself on the Canon hit list, right behind Matt.

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!
Linus: "Wait, but did you also drop it? That's an essential step."
Don't forget the RGB.
15:34 It did get airtime!
Also Linus: Did u build a PC inside it? Does it have two RTX 3090s in SLI ? and most importantly CAN IT GAME??
This shows many issues with Canon (although they probably didn't have many options if you look at the whole picture) but it is incredible the elegant solution Matt was able to do here. I feel he could sell kits for this mod easily.
Dear Canon,
Hire this guy and give him whatever pay he wants.
Dear Harry's,
Please keep sponsoring him. He looks better when clean shaven.
I think canon did it on purpose as to not take away sales from their higher up cameras.
I guess to each his own, beard looks good on him.
Canon : to the marketing team, don't sale any new camera to this DIY guy...
I like the beard
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.
Everyone: I water cooled my pc build.

I would love to have a simplisafe camera for the door bell however it seems not able to connect to google nest home max to show to video of the door bell camera and also it seems that it is not well adapted to europe market (electricity, devices etc.), the web site of simplisafe does not have sites in other language than english unfortunately.
You need to patent your work
That's an absolute SCAM on Canon's part. 20 mins of recording, then a 2 hour cooldown? And this guy brings that to 30 mins, then a 5 min cooldown at the cost of a small bit of copper.
Ahh, but you see that copper will cost money and lower their margin. That wont do at all, they've promised the price of 4500€ and there's of course no chance to change that to 4505€. Welcome to corporate marketing departments.
To be fair I absolutely can’t be bothered about that because its a photography camera and not a video recorder. I shoot max 3min of video sometimes and for that cooling is sufficient. Yes it sucks for all hobby film makers but in that price segment there are plenty of dedicated video cameras as well.
@@ThePunischer1000 yeah if cannon did this from the factory it would cannibalise the sales of the c70
@Jason Carter that’s an American tax rule to separate dslrs from video cameras in Europe we don’t have that
@Jason Carter often electronics companies will just pick one or the most stricked set of rules and apply that to all versions of the devices
This is one of your best videos so far. It captures the "DIY" spirit perfectly, therfore empowering the consumer from canons bad cooling design.
I would really advice you to speak to small rig to build a product with them.
I had great experiences with there support and thery seen really good in CNC ing.
I would buy it.
Literally every company should hire this guy. He would make basically all products like 100x better
I am pretty sure, the company did this on purpose - so that people have reason to buy their more expensive products
