What an absolutely ridiculous situation. Canon are destroying their reputation. This camera was the one that was going to reaffirm the Brands position as a leader in this sector, instead it has created a viral shit show.
There are too many steps to perform to be able get rid of the overheating icon for an US$4000 camera to film videos in high quality modes and you'll probably damage your device over time. I'll wait for my upcoming a7s III instead.
As far hacks go, this is actually very feasible and results are well worth the hassle. Now if it can also work on the R6 (which lacks the magnesium body) and Canon doesn't go out of their way to block it then A7S III might have a serious contender. The superior IBIS, RF-EF ND Adapter, cheaper/wider range of lenses and full gimbal control are the main reasons why Canon still has a place on my wishlist.
@@mohdvideos1 i meant controlling focus directly from the gimbal wheel (if it has one). For Sony, 90% of the time you rely on the amazing auto focus, but for that one shot where you need to rack focus manually, there is no quick and easy option. the gimbal wheel method is not very responsive and unless you have one of the few G-masters with linear focus throw, even an external motor won't work properly. Canon and its lineup of autofocussing EF lenses with hard stops really have an advantage (downside being the bulk).
I read that you don't need to have the battery door sensor locked down. So you can keep the battery door on like normal. Can you confirm if this works? Also read this trick works with the R6.
Very interesting firmware 1.1 seems to have great potential, but maybe canon will patch these hacks soon, that's probably why there has not been an update or release of firmware 1.1 for the R6, if i had an R5 I would defo download and update to firmware 1.1 now and the lucky people who have the R6 with firmware 1.1 wait to see what happens with they update the firmware of the R6. Firmware 1.1 may be a thing of the past soon and cameras with it become more valuable
Nice video! Do you mind testing the new method that doesn't require tape or anything, just changing the date and popping the battery out with the new 1.1.1 firmware?
Hey guys, I'm gonna show you a hack on how to destroy your camera with a camera I rented. If you destroy your $4000 camera, don't blame me, blame the other internet ppl. 😂😂😂
This made me remember som dialog I had with you about the Sony a6300/a6500. I said just use canned air and spray the camera with the can upside down. Your response....”you should have to do that it should just work”. I’m sure by January there will be simple hacks and fixes to improve the user experience.
I did this today and ran 8k 30p. It would let me record about 22 minutes each time continuous. I would then take about 30 whole seconds to do this hack, and get another 22 minutes each time. Did this 4 times. Could go all day. Camera never felt any hotter than the 1st time I hit 22 minutes originally. Took picture to see exif data on temperature at the end of the 4th time and it was 61c.
It is best to keep it from overheating in the first place, but this is a good trick if you can't. All it takes to prevent overheating is a small fan at room temperature. It also does not overheat on a cool day.
So much Sony Fanboy hate over hacks with the 8K R5 which Sony don't currently offer. BTW when they had to constantly live with hacks and work arounds with the so called legendary 8bit 100mbs no flip or touchscreen Sony A73
My thoughts? Fuck Canon!! And what if I go ahead and buy the R5 and in a few months they will come with a firmware that block these hacks? $3900 is not exactly on the cheap side
They are not drinking and laughing; they are working on the cinema raw lite so that the camera becomes indeed an 8K camera as advertised. Let's wait until the actual firmware update is out and see.
Probably laughing about all of the people voiding the warranty of their month-old cameras by hacking it to be used in a way that it wasn't designed for. I'm guessing there's a reason every other 8K raw capable camera requires a cooling system...
It’s a little Hack. Not a big deal. But it will let you shoot 8k raw or the best 4K you have ever seen almost forever this way. No other camera comes even close to doing anything like this. Even Cinema cameras shooting 6k need internal fans or external fans on them to do this.
Now imagine a real production, or even a simple corporate shoot. "Ok client, gimme 2 minutes for me to hack this thing back to shoot that gorgeous 8k that you don't need" It's understandable that it's the only camera that offers that, but all that jazz is simply being completely unreasonable with users of the camera to rely on such things to use it properly.
Cidadão do Mundo man. I disagree. The 8k allows incredible punch in and flexibility unlike anything you have ever seen. The 4K HQ at room temp gives you close to 40 minutes continuous. Frankly this thing now is perfectly solid in a real “professional” shoot. And god forbid you needed 30 seconds to do this little hack if you needed to. I am sure no one ever takes any breaks ever for even a minute in a long shoot. I mean come on man. Really?
@@RockyColaFizz I agree there's a lot of good things when it comes to an 8k footage, but we're not prepared for that just yet imo. It's heavy to be processed, it will make editing much more wasteful if we need to punch in all the time, we will need lots of storage and new hardware to deal with that. For at least 4 years to come, great 4k is the way to go and then tech will follow the 8k like It went for 4k eventually.
It was 75°C after 50 minutes of 120fps. The aluminium rig helped to dissipate some heat in the 19°C cold room. Luckily 50 minutes of 120fps is not really a real life situation.
who the hell want hacking to use 3500USD camera to prevent overheating. canon release new firmware R5 for charity. it's terrible canon. You will lose all your custiomer
These hacks prove that this is a software limitation imposed by Canon, not necessarily a hardware limitation. And if that's the case, Canon could easily update the firmware but are choosing not to. I think that's pretty telling.
Lol. I know right. The fan thing works like a charm. For long form recording it goes all day. The only evil thing they really are doing is still having the 29:59 record limit. So dumb.
What an absolutely ridiculous situation. Canon are destroying their reputation. This camera was the one that was going to reaffirm the Brands position as a leader in this sector, instead it has created a viral shit show.
I still remember you as the Sony overheating guy. Compare that to this. It’s Ironic actually
There are too many steps to perform to be able get rid of the overheating icon for an US$4000 camera to film videos in high quality modes and you'll probably damage your device over time.
I'll wait for my upcoming a7s III instead.
bypassing the limit with a hack, wouldn’t you damage or burn the sensor in the long run?
You think? Don’t you think Canon wrote the software just to piss people off.
As far hacks go, this is actually very feasible and results are well worth the hassle. Now if it can also work on the R6 (which lacks the magnesium body) and Canon doesn't go out of their way to block it then A7S III might have a serious contender.

Well said but for full gimbal control would u explain? Like what features you can’t do with sony on gimbal

@@h00b00 oh clear now, thanks🙌🏾✅
YOU ARE THE MAN... so far this is the best matter for overwrite the overheat.
This actually works, tested just now several times, both with internal and NInja V, thanks !!!
Your doing this with a rented Camera?

Can you tell us if the new 1.1.1 firmware disables this hack on the R5?
Can you , please, compare sharpness of 120fps footage of R6 vs Z6 vs a7iii...?
So Danny, can you shooting images first and then go 4k 60 and 120 and do this hack like if you were shooting a wedding?
What's the story with removing the battery door? Pls explain. Tnx in advance
whats the best cf press card for the r5?
Did you try to use a different battery without changing anything? ;)
What about the R6?
This made me remember som dialog I had with you about the Sony a6300/a6500. I said just use canned air and spray the camera with the can upside down. Your response....”you should have to do that it should just work”. I’m sure by January there will be simple hacks and fixes to improve the user experience.
Does it work on R6 4K60?
when you did the hack, timer was only 6 minutes.... no 20 or more minutes ?
There is a recording limit for 4K 120 FPS of 7:30 minutes continuously. We ca record again and again unless it overheats.
I did this today and ran 8k 30p. It would let me record about 22 minutes each time continuous. I would then take about 30 whole seconds to do this hack, and get another 22 minutes each time.

Robert M yup. I posted some photos of my fan rig and some data on using a fan on the Canon Rumors Discord. It works great
It is a lot of the same people on the EOSHD forum, but that trick originated on the Magic Lanter forum.
So much Sony Fanboy hate over hacks with the 8K R5 which Sony don't currently offer. BTW when they had to constantly live with hacks and work arounds with the so called legendary 8bit 100mbs no flip or touchscreen Sony A73
Hey bride and groom. Give me a minute. I need to take the battery out of my camera for awhile.
Sounds like a hassle and something to worry about in a wedding day. NO THANKS YOU
Yup first one
Imagine paying 4k for this
Best camera I have ever had. Hands down - not even close. Especially since I do photos about 50/50.
@@RockyColaFizz i know right i bought 2 of these best decsion of my life
Turns out I rather shoot 1080p240 rather than 8K, goodbye R5 overheating hacks, hello A7Siii
Why not xt3 240 fps
I'm gonna try it out with my R6!
It works. th-cam.com/video/NyAWhO4du04/w-d-xo.html
Indicator is gone... YES IT COOLED DOWN WHILE WE WAITED.
My thoughts? Fuck Canon!! And what if I go ahead and buy the R5 and in a few months they will come with a firmware that block these hacks? $3900 is not exactly on the cheap side
When are hackers going to fix this bull crap??
I dig that you found this but who wants to do all that? AND CLEAN YOUR DISPLAY!!! Lol.
Why we have to do this and Canon technical specialist sitting there drinking laughing 😂 at us it is a joke
The camera cools in a minute back to the temp where it first started. EOSHD been saying it for weeks, Canon just give us what we're paying for FFS
They are not drinking and laughing; they are working on the cinema raw lite so that the camera becomes indeed an 8K camera as advertised. Let's wait until the actual firmware update is out and see.

I don't know what to like about this video..

Nope... not interested in hacks.
This is embarrassing.
Still prefer the sony a7s iii.... i guess you jumped ship
No way. Too many hacks for a $4,000 camera.
far too complicated and absolutely useless for me 👎
These hacks prove that this is a software limitation imposed by Canon, not necessarily a hardware limitation. And if that's the case, Canon could easily update the firmware but are choosing not to. I think that's pretty telling.
Yeah, the hack of using a fan to cool the camera tricks the timer into thinking the camera is not getting to hot. Those evil evil Canon engineers.
Lol. I know right. The fan thing works like a charm. For long form recording it goes all day. The only evil thing they really are doing is still having the 29:59 record limit. So dumb.
The camera will overheat. in the long run you can void the warranty
@@joesmithebike385 How are they cooling the sensor when the sensor is floating on the IBIS.
Has the right to damage
