This is an absolute lifesaver for people who live in tropical countries. I live in the Philippines, shoot with an A6700, and I had the mk1. The camera on its own overheats at 4k24fps in under 20 minutes, the fan did help but the humidity made the suction cups pretty much unusable. Fell off every 2 minutes. Glad to know there was an update! Thanks for this info
Well, I developed a 3d printable piece for the old version, that does pretty much the same, but I just bought the new one anyway, because it looks much cleaner and perhaps more reliable. Annoying, because I just bought the old one 2 months ago and can't return it anymore. But I'm glad they are finally offering the solution all of us have been waiting for. Thanks a lot for sharing this!. In case anyone is interested, in my testing the fan (the old one) cooled the camera (A7 IV) down to 5°c over ambient, which means the Camera got very hot to the touch, but I had no trouble recording the full SDCard of 3:53h in 35°C my ambient closet. Without fan it overheated at around 1:30h in these ambients.
Bro, you saved me from buying the older version of them. I just saw your video before I paid for the older version, which wasn't great. Thank you a lot!
Thank you for covering this revision. And yes Ulanzi should at least offer a trade in discount for previous customers who bought the problematic frames. I have two of them. But for those who have the old one you can use one small silicone black rubber band to go around the body and fan to hold it on. I use the ones that are used for hair and beauty applications. They are so thin you dont even notice them. And they are strong.
Canon R6 II shooter here! This fan is a game changer for long term internal recording! Generally, 4k 24 needs no fan unless you're out doors in the heat, but long form content like 4k 60 is expanded with the Ulanzi! Most rate internal recording without the fan at a 52 record time on 4k 60. With the fan and at 70 f, 21 C, I managed to get up to an 1h 20m. The fan also helps keep consistency for colors on models that have no internal cooling systems. For $40, this is well worth the investment!
How good are these? I’ve been looking at using the ZV-E10 for long podcast interviews (1-3 hours). Seems like even setting the heat setting to high, using it in an air conditioned room, with the screen flipped open, a dummy battery that runs the camera to power, and leaving the door on the battery compartment open the most people can get out of the ZV-E10 is about 60-90 minutes before it overheats and shuts off. Podcasters have been running them via HDMI cable to a video controller which removes the micro SD card from the camera and to the controller. That appears to reduce internal heat significantly. Curious if these fans are enough that I wouldn’t have to buy that $495 video controller and use the fans along with the other tips.
i was filming a concert yesterday on my fuji x-s20 at 1080p60fps and my camera was pretty hot with constant high temperature warning. luckily it didn't shut down, but i still wish i had something like this with me
Hello thank you for an amazing advice! Just got my zv e1 and already a bit upset, cause I didn’t even record but just figured out with settings around 20 min and it’s already warm. Should I panic? Cause my usual filming time takes around 3 hours 🙏🏻
Is that 3 hours continuous as this certainly isn’t the camera for that without a fan. When I have it on my desk mount I actually use a usb 120mm fan this gives me pretty much limited record time without overheating.
I have Ulanzi camera fan 2.version. The cooling performance is perfect. The weak point is the built-in battery with a ridiculous 200mah that lasts 80 minutes at 1 level and 70 minutes at 2 levels from full to completely empty. Ulanzi should bring a 3rd version of this fan onto the market with an extremely better battery from 1000mAh or even more, and make the fan itself even quieter. The battery charging time is also extremely long, which should also be improved in the 3rd version so that it is more than twice as fast. The built-in USB-C port is a joke, they should not install a USB port at all. The 3rd version can be even more expensive for completely better quality. The spring retention in the 2nd version is also terrible, the suction cups should please go back to the 1st version.
I have the Sony a7c. I just used the camera for a cosplay gathering at a convention, and the camera almost overheated at the end. Now I need a cooling fan the next time I make another cosplay gathering
I got the original fan when it first came out and it was such a disappointment lol. Every Ulanzi device I've every purchased has been a flop so I'm done with them. I see SmallRig dropped a new fan with a similar mechanic that I really want to get, but I also just want to wait for the ZV-E1 CineBack and get a Tilta fan since that one screws into the CineBack.
Great, so those of us who bought the original versions get absolutely nothing for those and now we have to spend the same amount of money AGAIN to get a product that was supposed to work properly the first time. Ulanzi knew they messed up the original version, and that's why they were so quick to release an updated version. I will not be giving them any more money. They need to allow us to trade in the old versions for the new versions at no charge.
dont buy this junk people. I have an a6700 and this thing makes it impossible to use any shotgun mic or the internal mic because its extremely loud. It is only a viable option if the mic you are using is not anywhere close to the camera. Waste of money for me, returned it

How much more minutes did you get with the cooler?
are u filipino or foreigner?
Did you get the mark 2? Curious how long recording lasts for you now
@@mugensekai +20 mins roll time single take
I like that you compared the top cooling fan options. Everyone else was just pushing one or the other. Thank you :)

Just to confirm. I just received mine today and it fits my A7 IV perfectly 👍
Can you share that 3d printable piece? I have some old versions and would liek to use them without the suction cup
@@JosiahMoralesagreed
And I gotta say. It's too noisy for me, currently tinkering on the old version to see if I can make a modified more silent version.
thingiverse: "ulanzi cooler". Somebody was already faster than me 😉

My Rode VideoMic GO II is pointed away from the camera at me, but still picking up fan noise even on the slowest fan setting. Any tips?
You can use a noise gate in post-production, and kill all the parasite noise under a certain threshold!

Are you on heat standard or heat high setting
Does it vibrate enough to create any jiggles on the recording? Or is it not sth to bother? 😊 Thanks for the video.
Nope that’s is something you do not need to worry about
i'm worried about the vibration of the fan when using to record on a tripod, for example.
It may affect the image stability, right?
Did you test it?
No need to test as it isn’t an issue.
@@thefullsetup my point is: does the vibration of the fan affects the recorded image?
Or is it irrelevant?
@@omarcelopaixao irrelevant
@@thefullsetup thank you
Omg, thank you for this video!! So much

Very nice and informative video

For how much it costs them to produce this fan I also think it’s crazy they are not offering free exchanges for the newer version.
