Let me know which tip you found the most useful and if you have a tip to prevent overheating that I forgot to mention in this video.

[@stephanerick8927]

I had no idea about the Sd card 😮

[@matn6616]

@@stephanerick8927me neither!

[@derekcco]

Great video as always E! I usually shoot 60-90 min games on 4k60 on the Sony a6700 (iykyk) and Ulanzi fan has had the biggest impact I’ll add two more tips: (1) I found that applying some gaffer tape to the end of the Ulanzi fan (on the springy end) created enough friction to make it secure. (2) Bring a can of compressed air. Pop out the battery and shoot some cold air into the battery compartment during halftime or a timeout. It will quickly remove the overheat warning and drop the internal temp considerably on a camera that doesn't have an internal fan (like my a6700). Great for the final 4th qtr push Keep up the great work. I have learned so much from you and love your channel

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thanks man! These are great tips. Especially the compressed air!

[@ImperialSportsMedia]

Been waiting on this vid, brotha 🙏🏾

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

thanks for the support, I hope this video doesn't disappoint!

[@brianh3730]

Great tips!

[@shirakawanaoya]

I have seen a lot of videos on this camera which I also own but this one has been very very helpful and I am very grateful for it

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you 😊

[@TheJungleofSports]

Top Tips! Thanks a lot

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

My pleasure 😇

[@mattyj2436]

This is exactly what I needed! thank you E

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

You're welcome!

[@77dris]

I love your videos and the way you present. Plus you always have great topics and useful information. The R6 Mark II is Canon's newest and it doesn't have a temperature setting. However, it also doesn't overheat. You can shoot continuously unlimited in 4K24/30 and it will never overheat or give warnings. 4K60 I can get about 1 1/2 hours continuous without any warning at all and if I'm doing clips, it will never overheat even after a day of shooting.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you for the great feedback! And the R6 seems like a great camera for sports. I’ll have to give it a try one day.

[@KyleTran]

This is great advice!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Glad you think so!

[@stephanerick8927]

Si helpful! I have a Sony a6400

[@TimmonsVisions]

You're amazing bro. Can't wait to photograph an event together

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Hopefully we'll make it happen one day!

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

Depending on the model, Panasonic generally does have this setting. On the G9ii its Monitor Display (wrench) > Camera Icon > Thermal Management

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Awesome! Thanks for the update!!

[@emedits2849]

Hey man I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years, great content! I just had a general question I was hoping you could answer. In your opinion what is the best frame rate for being able to get slow mo while still getting audio. Because while filming in 120 fps is great for slo mo I can’t pick up any audio when shooting in this frame rate.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

First of all, thank you for your support over the last two years! To answer your question, 120fps with audio is possible on certain cameras but, if it's not on yours and you still want to do some slowmos in post, I suggest filming at 60fps.

[@emedits2849]

@@BeyondTheGame_E thanks for replying. I’ll definitely give 60 fps a try!

[@richardvonschrenk]

Just wondering if you use an external battery, do you need to have the camera battery installed? Otherwise it could help with the heating issues, if you can have the battery door open . Love your content 👍

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

You either need a battery installed and powered through the USB-C port, or you need to connect the external battery with a dummy battery. But, like I said in the video, the USB-C option is much better to control the heat.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Also, thanks for your feedback!

[@joshmendiola7682]

@BeyondTheGame_E have you tried filming sports with DJI Pocket 3? what can you say about that?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I’ve never used it. But any camera that can’t zoom will be very limited for sports.

[@joshmendiola7682]

@@BeyondTheGame_E thanks man, appreciate it. More power 💪🏻🔥🤙🏻

[@TinLeadHammer]

"If you don't intend to slow down your footage in post, stick to 24 or 30 fps" - sports has been in 50/60 pps since the late 1930s just because broadcast television has been 50/60 pps; 24 fps may be fine for a sizzle reel to look more cinematic, but not for a complete game. Your clips shot at 24p with fast shutter speed are too stuttery to my eyes. I would not be able to watch longer than a dozen of seconds, but maybe for a very short sizzle reel this is ok. I say, use 1080p60 (or 1080p50 if you are outside North America) as the TV-friendly "live" rate at around 1/100-1/250 and don't bother with 120 or 240 fps. You can always convert 60p to 30p, and it will look ok if shutter speed is not too high. Regarding opening doors for battery and memory card, on my camera when the card door is open, the camera does not work. Thanks for the tips, great video as usual!

[@Grayson_Lewis]

Yo I got a Sony zv-e10 camera and I’m filming basketball. It can only shoot 4k up to 30fps, and it goes to 1080 for 60fps and above. Should I downgrade for 60fps? I usually film every video I do in 4k, but I’m new to filming sports and I know higher frame rate like 60 looks smoother and is better for slow motion. I’m making long form KZbin videos and short form vertical content out of the games I record. Again, I just don’t know if I should do 4k quality but with only 30fps, or 1080 60fps to film the games. I’m just hesitant to use 1080 because I don’t want it to look bad on KZbin.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I think you kind of answered your own question. If you prefer that 60fps look, or if you want to do slow motion in post, then you should go with 1080/60. But if not, keep shooting in 4K. Nothing is 'best', it just depends on what you want and what you prefer.

[@Grayson_Lewis]

@@BeyondTheGame_E I guess I kinda did answer my own question. 😂 Well I’m going to shoot 1080p 60fps from now on because I am going to be slowing it down for edits and highlight reels. Thank you for your input. I’m hoping to eventually get a camera that can shoot 4k 60fps. And my basketball channel is called G-Flicks Productions if you want to check it out. The first video is pretty good IMO and I want to hear your thoughts on it

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@Grayson_Lewis Don't forget to edit in 24 or 30fps to slow down your 60fps footage in high-quality.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yes it is.

[@NerdyYellaDude]

Dope, but the only problem I ever had with overheating always was with Sony cameras 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ never had overheating problems with my Lumix🙏🏾🙏🏾 fingers crossed. I never will .

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

The more powerful the camera is, the most likely it is to have overheating issues. So, the micro 4/3 sensor of Lumix helps a lot with that. Especially if you're not filming in 4K/120.

[@NerdyYellaDude]

@BeyondTheGame_E Yeah, I found out the hard way don't use 4K when filming long sport events like soccer 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ Ps. I finally got my GH5 last week. I'm loving it so far.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@NerdyYellaDude That's great news!

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

Ran into overheating yesterday on my G9ii ... though was filming the whole time in 4k 120. Wasn't that hot out (58f), but did have direct sun on it.

[@NerdyYellaDude]

@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker Damn yeah I always had problems with my Sony cameras 🤷🏾‍♂️ But this is the page you need to follow. E knows a lot about them, Sony cameras, and how to get the best out of them
