Who would have thought that this summer of all summers would be so hot in terms of camera technology? After the Corona-related standstill in the first half of the year, highly interesting cameras are now being presented weekly in July -- after the Canon EOS R5 / R6 and Blackmagic&s surprise coup with the URSA Mini Pro 12K, Sony will finally unveil the Alpha 7S III tomorrow afternoon. ;) Canon R5 with Tilta Cooling Module Meanwhile, while our own test operation will not start up again until next week for holiday reasons, various hands-on reports about the Canon R5 and R6 are going through the net, confirming what Canon itself (unfortunately only a few days after the initial announcement) had already indirectly communicated: these cameras are primarily still cameras and, due to considerable heat problems, obviously not capable of reliably filming in precisely those high-quality video modes that make them theoretically attractive, such as 8K (R5) or 4K in downsampling, let alone over a whole day of shooting.
In order to keep the camera temperature as low as possible and thus maximize recording times, Canon had recommended the use of an external fan -- this already signals quite clearly what to expect. But a camera&s design flaws are always opportunities for the accessories industry, as a laughing third party, so to speak. And so Tilta is the first (but certainly not last) manufacturer to announce a small cooling module for the R5 as part of its camera cage. It is placed in the niche of the (folded out) camera display and consists of a fan, among other things. Tilta states its noise level with 34dB, but you can read quite cryptic data for efficiency. The module should be able to cool down to 15° C within a minute, but starting from what value, and is that really related to the camera? The "modular maximum temperature reduction" should be about 24.4°. A temperature sensor should detect when ventilation is needed so that it does not start unnecessarily and condensation moisture forms inside the camera. Power is supplied via USB, ideally not from the camera itself. The Tilta Cage for the R5 is also needed for the mounting of the cooling kit anyway. Prices and availability are still pending.
