Thank you for this test. The R5 had much better overheating times with an open LCD monitor. Could you retest the 4K 120fps with an open monitor? I am absolutely interested in overheating at 8K 60fps, Could you also run this test? And does everything work if you also add an external power bank with DC to run for hours? If yes, then we could work only with one LP-E6P battery. Thank you for this testings 👍
Great video, short sweet, to the point. Truely appreciated. For everyone else whining about a camera designed as a still camera.... Buy a video camera to do video. I have yet to see a single review on the photo quality of a still image at 100iso. Everyone is complaining about the heat buildup in 4 and 8k. Go buy a fucking video unit.....that will solve your video heating, "i can hear the fans in the battery grip" and card size restriction.
With the R5 it made as much as a 10% difference. The new vents in the design probably lower that a little, but I'm sure it would still make a difference.
This is a hybrid system for photographers and video makers. We need to consider some points before judge the performance shown in this video. 1-How often will you use 4k 120fps and 8K, for how long? 2-Whats the time between the shots to let the camera cool down? 3-Do you need to shoot in 8k today? Really? 4-Do you have enough memory cards to shoot 4K120/8K, and enough disks to make backups? 5-For most jobs 4k25 is perfect, some scenes at 60fps for slow-motions, and very specific scenes in 120fps. In my point of view these results are great for this kind of camera and for who it was made for. Great image quality and high resolution for photography and very high quality for video.
@@alexbormanbou if you are a professional photographer you know what kind of footage you need, there is no need to explain this. If the camera can shoot 8k, you know that if you ever need it, you have it.
@@rafaelcavalli5837if your a "professional photographer" you won't take video at any resolution. And if you're a videographer and your 8k camera overheats in 8k you don't have an 8k camera.

Useful video👍 Recovery time test would also be interesting. How much rec time for a given cool down period. With the venting it could perhaps recover faster than its predecessor.
Thanks so much for testing. Could you also please test 8K RAW 24 fps, and 4K *Fine* 24 fps, because those two are also very important for cinematic film production. Thank you! 😊
Yes please, 24p, 25p, or 30p are the only frame rates I’d expect most videographers to use for long Video takes (usually interviews), and most likely in 4k. 8k 60 and 4k 120p would almost always be shorter takes where you’re stopping and starting the camera regularly.
@@wanderbread4217of course, but how often are you just going to let that roll for minutes at a time? Usually slowmo like that is just done in short bursts of action.
Is it true that R5 mark II and R6 mark II are same dimensions? I’m reading they are from canon, but others who have R5 mark II in hand have given conflicting info. I ask because I have a Falcam cage that I’m hoping will fit it.
@@JCustom R6 Mk1 = 138 x 97.5 x 88.4mm and R6 mk2 =138 x 98 x 88 mm vs R5 mark ii = 138.5×101.2×93.5 from another source making it too large for R6 mark ii cage. Yeah, no definitive answers
I don’t see a limit for 4k 24 which is why I didn’t test it as it’s also the least taxing on the camera. I did use the camera for 30 mins on 4k60 and didn’t even see a heat logo
@@JCustom potatojet had a test where 4K fine 24 overheated just over an hour but he blocked the vent. Interviews need to have 2 hours at room temp in order to be safe to use for me. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this test! Do you have any insight in how long the camera can stay in power-on / 4K 120P / 5 seconds pre-capture is activated / standby (waiting for start of recording) without shut-down? I am using my R5 for wildlife and a lot of this topic is waiting - not yet recording. Essential is therefore how long I can wait (for the action that is worth recording) and not how long I can record (the most clips are less than 1 minute in slowmo). Thanks a lot in advance! Kind regards, Ralf
This video is fantastic. Please help me out though... I'm doing heat tests as well on the R5 II. Filming at 4K-U at 30fps with the screen extended from the body and the vent cleared. I'm getting 2 heat bars at 13 minutes, 3 heat bars at 18 minutes..... 6 heat bars at 43 minutes. I read in a comment you said you tested 4K at 60fps and got no heat bars at all. What EXACTLY are all your settings? I'm clearly doing something wrong. Using Lexar professional CFExpress Type B diamond series 256GB card on full battery.
@@JCustom I've purchased two R5 II cameras and it does it on both. The temp is 74 degrees. Are there any more specs you can offer on the tests you've done? I'm doing something wrong here.
Thank you for the great test. Could you check these two things? If 8K-RAW-LT 60fps works when you also have attached a power bank to extend the battery life for hours (or if the powerbank can only charge the battery but not while recording) and if with open LCD monitor, it overheats really after 18Min in 8K-RAW 60fps. Could it be possible that you place a moving object in front of the lense because stressing the AF should generate some heat, and this is closer to the real world than a non changing motiv.
So I shot at the tv on a 60minutes video with 8k raw and i ran out of card space on a 512gb and never got the overheat at over 24mins. This was with the screen to the side and at a 78f deg room.
Did hear of this with the r5 but I believe this was addressed in a firmware update for the lens or the body at that time. I do not see any wobble with ibis on.
Perfectly fin result. Looks like I don't even need the cooling grip for my use.
Please test 4K fine 24 and make sure the bottom vents are unblocked too (QR plate maybe)
It's not blocked by any plate, I made sure of it

not normal use. I dont walk around holding my camera was the screen open if im record other people or things
@@presise Maybe not you, but most people I know flip the screen out when using it hand held to tilt. You're just weird. ;-)

No overheating with 4k 30 oversampled?
I am trying 4k 30 fine atm. So far my battery (full charge)died before showed any signs of heat.
@@JCustom I'm doing a similar heat test and getting heat bars at 4K-U 30 fps after 15 minutes. What *exactly* are your settings??
Is ibis wobble fixed when using lenses like the 15-35mm f2.8?
Did hear of this with the r5 but I believe this was addressed in a firmware update for the lens or the body at that time. I do not see any wobble with ibis on.
Thank you!
How do you have an R5 MKII when Canon told their dealers not to release the camera until August 20th??
Some ads shipped early
I wonder if your tripod is blocking the air vent.
it's not blocking the vent. I made sure of it
Maybe one wouldn’t need to record 4k120 that long but 8k raw definately
Mine overheated from just shooting like 100 stills on a hot day
who the fuck is even recording in 4k 120 for that long?
right LOL
I picked the 4k120 as it's more likely to overheat the body since it has the shortest record limit, which was what I was going for.
He doesn’t deserve it
