Thanks for sharing. I live in the Caribbean so I can tell you about hot climate, but I must admit I don't have that much issue with overheating on my Ninja V. I too have the plastic caddy as well as two Angelbird metal SSD, but I recently purchased the "Andycine Lunchbox" and these are (I hate this overused word..but..) game changers. But what I really like about them is the short/smaller footprint size thus allowing ventilation for the back vents of the Ninja V. So I would highly recommend looking into it on youtube and reviews online. Cheers and keep up the good work.

How about attaching small heat sinks all around the unit?

My device overheats even when I’m not recording :D Recording longer sequences over 5 minutes is practically impossible. I have mixed feelings about this equipment.

In my case, i use Ninja V for recording from an ATEM TV Studio HD switcher for event. Minimum time is 2 hrs/record. Ninja V will overheat after 3hrs, sometime after 4hrs continuous record, and gradually, 1/3 of the screen will glitching and turned off (still recording though), and then the next 2/3 glitching, dimming and then finally just 1/3 of the screen work. This is repeatable and have been the problem since day 1. I am looking to switch to this Andycine SSD enclosure

the ssd blocks air flow get ANDYCINE Lunchbox mSATA to SATA Adapter its shorter and will not retrict airflow its a simple convertion you can buy a standard ssd and put it in the ANDYCINE Lunchbox housing and these will make it cooler

[@HUSTLMedia]

actually, that's not it at all. the reason for overheating is using plastic housing , those Samsung 970 SSDs, if you get Angelbird in a metal housing you won't have those issues

[@sjcproductionsandmedia]

Mine did this with turbo cool on. Also the ssd keeps falling out. The worst thing is the blue lips and eyes, noses, etc on my footage

For $600 not good. Forget Florida and hot places.

I’m in Florida and for some reason the fan isn’t working

[@ceasarstudioceasarbelliard7873]

@@Sched there's a New firmware update from Atomos that will fix fan issues. Check it out.

[@FrankReiter]

If the metal case is warmer than the air, which it will be, then it is helping the unit to shed heat. This is a good thing, not a problem.

just trash this shit device and buy a smallHD

[@christopherdunn317]

I cant believe how hot it gets ? i thought today with all the power out there ? they would not need a fan and this to get so hot seems crazy !
