Once upon a time in the little town of Lensville, old Grandpa Jenkins would sit on his porch in his worn, creaky rocking chair, sipping ice-cold lemonade. With him was his golden dog Bessie, her coat shimmering like the setting sun, her eyes as deep and wise as the ocean. They would sit there, two souls intertwined in the fabric of time, sharing stories and laughter with the townsfolk that passed by. In the hazy afternoons, two kids, Jack and Jill, would often come to visit Grandpa Jenkins, mesmerized by his tales of adventure and wisdom. They would sit on the steps of the porch, eyes wide with wonder, as he spoke of his days gone by. One day, old Grandpa Jenkins began to tell them a story they would never forget. "Once upon a time," he began, his voice like a distant thunder, "there was a curious contraption in our very own town. This was no ordinary device, mind you. It was an unspiked Civil War cannon, resting on the nearby Memorial Ridge like a sentinel of the past." Jack and Jill listened, their imaginations set ablaze by the flickering shadows cast by the setting sun. They could almost see the ancient cannon, blackened and silent, guarding the memories of those who had fought and fallen. "Now, legend has it," Grandpa Jenkins continued, "that two mischievous children, not unlike yourselves, stumbled upon this relic of a bygone era. Wanting to witness the power of this mighty weapon, they filled it with gunpowder and rolls of toilet paper. Their plan was to light the fuse and watch the fiery paper fly through the sky, a blazing comet in the twilight." As Bessie shifted her golden frame, her eyes reflecting the universe's secrets, the children could almost hear the crackling of the fire and smell the smoke rising from the cannon. They held their breath, waiting for the climax of the story. "But fate had other plans," Grandpa Jenkins continued. "As the children ignited the fuse and watched the fire dance within the barrel, a convertible pulled up alongside the cannon. The top was up, and inside was a man whose hair was as wild as a hurricane, his eyes as electric as the heart of a storm." The cannon roared, and with the force of a thousand suns, it blew the top off the convertible. The man leaped through the flaming roof, exclaiming, "Son of a mother trucker!". The children gasped, the image of the man and the burning car forever etched in their minds. They marveled at the way fate had intertwined the lives of the man, the cannon, and the curious children. Grandpa Jenkins leaned in closer, his voice like the rustle of autumn leaves. "Now, you see, the man was a scientist, and he saw a connection between the fiery cannon event and his work on a camera cooling solution. He had designed a personal cooling fan, no louder than a whisper, that could prevent overheating in cameras." As Grandpa Jenkins continued his story, he revealed the deeper connection between the camera cooling fan and the cannon event. "You see, my dear children, the scientist who leaped from the flaming convertible had been researching the flow of air currents to develop his camera cooling solution. He had a vision of a world where technology and nature coexisted harmoniously, each enhancing the other's potential." Upon witnessing the explosive force of the cannon, the scientist was struck with a profound realization. He understood that the same principles that governed the movement of air during an explosion could be harnessed to improve the efficiency of his cooling fan. The energy unleashed by the cannon was raw and chaotic, but it held within it the potential to be transformed into something controlled and purposeful. The scientist spent many sleepless nights in his workshop, fueled by the memories of that fateful encounter with the cannon. He designed and redesigned his cooling fan, each iteration bringing him closer to his vision of perfect harmony between power and subtlety. Finally, after countless hours of labor, he emerged from his workshop with a new and improved version of the personal cooling fan. It was a marvel of engineering, capable of generating a powerful yet nearly silent flow of air. The fan was designed with the same principles that governed the movement of air during the cannon explosion, a testament to the transformative power of inspiration and the interconnectedness of all things. As the story drew to a close, Jack and Jill could not help but feel the profound impact of the scientist's journey. They marveled at the way the seemingly unrelated events of the cannon explosion and the scientist's work had become intertwined, each shaping and enhancing the other in unexpected ways. It was a reminder that life's greatest discoveries often emerged from the most unexpected places, and that the world was filled with hidden connections just waiting to be uncovered. Grandpa Jenkins looked at the children, his eyes filled with the wisdom of a thousand lifetimes. "And so, my dear ones, always remember that the universe is vast and mysterious, and that the threads of our lives are woven together in ways we may never fully understand. Let the story of the cannon and the cooling fan be a reminder that life is a tapestry of interwoven moments, each contributing to the richness and beauty of our existence." As the last rays of sunlight disappeared behind the horizon, Jack and Jill stood up, their hearts filled with a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of life. The magic of Grandpa Jenkins' story had woven its way into the fabric of their souls, leaving them forever changed. With the stars beginning to sparkle in the night sky, old Grandpa Jenkins and Bessie sat on the porch, their spirits entwined with the mysteries of the universe. They knew that the tale they had shared would echo through the generations, serving as a reminder of the boundless potential that lay hidden within the world's most unexpected connections. And as the world slipped into the embrace of the night, the little town of Lensville became a beacon of hope and wonder, a testament to the power of stories and the eternal dance of the cosmos.

Simple and effective! Love it. Just rigged our A74 with a very quiet low profile computer fan. Used a specialized adhesive black steel thin plate stuck at the back where the screen is housed. Fan snaps on magnetically and screen closes without a hitch. I noticed the metal plate conducts a lot more heat from the camera so the USB fan does a good job of drawing the heat out. Super easy to rig on a tripod or on the fly. It’s saved us from a lot of overheating headaches with longer studio shoots in 4K 30. Happy travels!

I can’t be alone on this can I? I waited on this release like no other, scouring to find any tidbit of info I could find while eagerly anticipating the debut on its release date. My hope and dreams crashed intro the rocks of reality upon watching the first review hands on review and learning of the major flaw in this camera design. IT OVERHEATS... Still I waited till I could see the first real world production model review and again my expectations were crushed... THE PRODUCTION VERSION OVERHEATS.... Mark has found an improvised workaround but it comes at a price of inconvenience and additional noise which will have to be overcome along with move equipment more batteries or more converters and mounting concern. BIG KUDOS to MARK for finding an affordable solution to those who have already bought this. SHAME ON SONY for producing such a steamer of a release. SERIOUSLY... THIS CAMERA COSTS $2200 TO $2500 USD, WHICH TRANSLATES TO WHAT... ABOUT A ZILLION DOLLARS CANADIAN? (I sincerely feel for our brothers and sisters to our north.) How could Sony even consider this to be reasonable for the market they are saying it was intended for? By saying “look at all the cool new software features.” NEWSFLASH... ALL THOSE "COOL NEW SOFTWARE FEATURES" DON'T WORK WHEN THE CAMERA HAS SHUT DOWN DUE TO OVERHEATING. At this price it should work flawlessly without overeating issues. It would be really sucky to have it shut off right in the middle of producing content and then having to wait for the internal temps to reach operational levels again before resuming... Momentum lost. And if you live in a cold climate this may not be an issue during the cold seasons. If you live in the lower 48 of the US this is substantially problematic. All the while I see reviewer after reviewer singing the praises of all the “cool new software features” and saying how they will get one to work in conjunction with the OTHER HIGH END CAMERAS they ALREADY HAVE in at their disposal. I get it in one way. I realize that if they are harsh about the ZV-E1 they risk being shunned by Sony for future releases… It is a sucky situation to be in. I currently do not have the luxury of owning a FX-3, FX-30, A7 V, A7 IV, A7S III and all the G-Master Glass with the ultra low Toneh(s) that makes them great. It is a stretch for me to get one camera and an “ok” lens. Maybe. Disposable income is more and more difficult to come by in our current economic period of inflation. I need to make careful decisions with the dollars I have. Looks like the Panasonic S5 IIx may be the way to go. Wish it was a little higher on the slow-motion frame rate but it does not overheat and has a host of other really desirable useful features. It is also my understanding that Panasonic updates the firmware and listens to it’s customer base more than the camera manufacturers. I REALLY wanted to like the ZV-E1. All this being said I can’t help but to think that I witnessing a real life version of “THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES.”

This camera is what it is. A lightweight, very portable, inconspicuous cam with a sensor of the Sony FX3, A7SIII and the autofocus system of the A7RV. And that means, it overheats way faster than other cams with less power. But this is something you know before you are going to buy it. It’s not meant to be a cam for long recordings - its for short clips in the highest possible quality. And that’s what the ZV-E1 is doing perfectly. If someone has to record long takes - well there is still a FX3 and a A7SIII. In the end it’s simply physics. But good to see, that if you want, you can extend the recording time :) Looking forward to see more tipps&tricks videos of the ZV-E1 :-)

Hi Mark, 2020: hottest cam of the year: R5 2023: hottest cam of the year: ZV-E1 On serious note, a couple more things to consider: - for long form studio shooting, have you tried turning off Wifi, GPS, BT, stabilization (since it’s on tripod) and powering off either by USBC and/or external recorder? I don’t have the ZV-E1 but have a lot of experience with R5. - for short form, I hope Tilta makes an active cooling fan like they did for R5.

For the warmest nights.... Walimex 16280 🤣

Hi Mark! Much like yourself, I own a trusted ZVE-10 that I like very much for its portability and ease of use. So much so that, for the type of use I make of it, some of the more "amateurish" features it packs have become essential. But they have limitations! For instance, the skin smoothing effect only works at 1080p, and is capped at 30fps, if I recall correctly. The usb-c live mode unfortunately only works at 720p... but it also simultaneously charges the battery (it's a small battery and also depends on the cable you're using). The auto-aperture-blur button also has its quirks, depending on the lens and shooting mode. So given that the ZV-E1 also comes with many, if not all of these features... are they any better in it, in any way at all.. than they are on the ZVE-10?

Hey Mark, love the content and you have a new sub here! I've been battling with either the FX30 or the ZVE1, both seem to have great benefits and some cons. I was settled on the FX30 and then got spooked last night with a vid saying its WAY too complicated for a beginner, with all the hidden costs and the fact you need to colour grade all the footage etc. So then I looked at the ZVE1 again, I think it would suit all my needs, however, one of the things I want to start is videoing a PODCAST from home studio. Mainly 30-60 mins, doesnt have to be 4K though. You're last comment in the vid was "if you're thinking of long form content, look at something else". What would you say is long form? Over an hour? or less? Thanks in advance and again, great content! Peter, Vancouver

@MarkBennettCameraCrisis

Жыл бұрын

The fx30 is not too complicated - it’s great. You can colourgrade if you want or use the standard. The zv-e1 has the exact same profiles and ability to colour grade. But the problem with the ZV-E1 is that it will overheat after 25-30 mins if it’s a stuffy environment (no breeze). But I use a fan strapped to the tripod for that. I would do the FX30 if I were you just because you’ll never have to worry about the overheating.

Hey Mark, I'm curious about the magnetic phone cooler attached to the ZV-E1.. Can you give it a try?

I'm surprised smallrig or ulanzi hasn't already made a cage with a fan. To date, I've never recorded over 30 mins. I always screw up way before that or have to recheck settings or recompose, but I am looking forward to seeing how well it performs for you in Africa.

Fujifilm's cooling fan implementation for the xh2s are the best with a perfect fit. I only film short clips and have not encountered any overheating to date.

I've not had issues with overheating with my A6400 for long 3 hour shoots for my videos, but I film in 1080p almost exclusively.

we're complaining because it lacks alot for the price compared to its competitors. if it was $1300 it wouldnt have much competition then. but at $2200, theres the canon r6 which is cheaper with dual sd, theres the sony a7iv and canon r6ii slightly more expensive not much, the canon r8 much cheaper by $700 with viewfinder and more megapixel. all these cameras vlog, the camera dont need to be marketed as vlog before it can be used for vlog.

best budget lenses are the Sigma 16mm (which you have), The Sigma 30mm, and the Sigma 56 (for head and shoulders pic and blurry backgrounds) - if the Sigma 56mm is a little too much - the Viltrox 56 is a good choice.

Hey there are a few things I do to get basically unlimited record time on my current camera indoors without without a fan. Using a dummy battery (powering it from the mains means the heat that would come from the battery being used is now generated outside the camera.) this might even run cooler than usb external power - which might require extra voltage conversion Record externally on a Blackmagic ultra studio (or atmos ninja) (can be simulated by connecting a screen to the hdmi output). Which means the camera doesn’t need to encode the video or write it to an SD card. HDMI output is all we need if using an external recorder. Any chance you have the kit and can try this?

Hey Mark and the other comment readers I have question. I couldn't find any solutions on the web so I thought why shouldn't ask an expert like you. I have a ZVE-10 and a Gimbal (Weebill2) While Remote control is on at USB I can't get any image on HDMI and when I don't use Remote control on USB I can't control the camera on gimbal. Is there any way to use both USB Controlling and HDMI streaming. I thought maybe some kind of wirelles controlling attachments work but I'm already over my budget.

How about a gaming mobile fan ? Like Razor Mobile Phone cooler ?! Just a few tweaks and wolah ! Maybe if you are using the zv e1 on a gimble you can charge the gimbal and power the fan at the same time.

Hey Mark, I am a fashion channel with a second vlog channel for travel, Tesla, and RV content. I’m finally upgrading from my iPhone and want to make the purchase before I leave for Iceland in June. I’m having the hardest time deciding between the ZV-E1 and the FX30. I use a lot of slow motion to show detailing in clothing but I also want something to reach out for an occasional photo and to also be able to capture vlog/BTS content. The ZV-E1 is the absolute top price point and I’d love to stick with Sony (I used them once upon a time while working on my departments Forensic team). It seems both cameras have pros and cons that I both love and hate, lol. Any helpful direction on which one would be a great tool?
