Sony ZV-E1 and HOW TO PREVENT 🔥OVERHEATING 🔥

I got the Sony ZV-E1 after preordering and shot this quick VLOG to test it out. I discuss how to prevent the Sony ZV-E1 from overheating. In my use the Sony ZV-E1 did not overheat on me at all, but just incase it does, I share some tips to keep the Sony ZV-E1 from overheating.

FYI - when I installed the Sony ECM-G1 Mic, the camera actually didn't detect the mic right away so it kept using the built-in mic of the camera. The ECM-G1 audio is not on until the part when I'm on the ladder through the end of the video.

Sorry to hear about your wedding inquiries. I’m in Virginia market too and while I’ve been getting gigs I’ve had to lower pricing as it seems like a lot of couples have been spending less money on weddings with the way things are. I don’t blame them one bit. I also supplement by contracting with another company and that keeps things busier (pay is not too bad for freelance work without having to edit)

[@nVuFilms]

I'm staying put with pricing as I do not have capacity to be taking on bulk weddings at lower pricing. I also spend way too much time on preparing, filming, and editing each film. But at the end of the day you gotta do what you gotta do. Also I was being quite sarcastic, we are doing ok. Lol.

Vu you're the man bro! haha I bought my ZV-E1 last week and arrived couple days ago. Yet to really test it out but I do moto vlogs and I needed a quality camera to fit in my riding backpack.

Here's a tip, take a sweatband and put it around the lens where it mounts to the camera. That will help with dust getting on to the sensor. I do this with all of my Sony cameras.

Great review! And I actually didn’t notice when you switched to 1080. Mine arrived yesterday. Batteries are charging now then I will go test it. I got it to replace my Blackmagic 4K I use for my music videos and my a6400 I use for youtube. With how I shoot in spurts including the music videos I don’t think the over heating will be an issue. thought it would be the perfect blend of the two so I only have 1 smaller All around set up. Can you teach me your ways?? so I’m not the douche bag relying on auto 😂😂😂😂 like best settings & color profile etc.

[@NeilHesterSkateboarding]

Always enjoy your videos , the honesty and dry humour 😉 just wondering if you’ve done much testing with the 4k 120 feature yet . I record my skateboarding sessions which usually last between 3 and 4 hours and what I’m actually recording is just short 30 second or so clips of each run I take the camera is on the whole time but the clips are just short. The vibes I’m getting is that bit should be able to handle it ok in an average temperature of around 22 degrees C , what do you think? At the moment I use an A6400 and can only get 4k 25 from it which has nev er overheated on me. But I would want to be recording 4k 120 the whole time with the ZVE1 so I can make slow motion clips of everything. Thanks for the info and tips 👍🏻

My A7IV 1080p footage is terrible when it is not used in the crop mode. After watching your 1080p video comparison with the FX3/FX30 and A7IV it was a huge eye opener. My question is, does the ZV-E1 use the same process of down sampling the 4K sensor to 1080p like the FX3 and A7S3? Your switch from 4K to 1080p was great in this video. I just wanted to ask if you noticed anything on this topic. Thank you for your time! Also, what is the name of your alter ego at the end of your videos! He is hilarious haha.

Sure it may overheat under harsh conditions but understandably so considering it's small size. You also don't need a fan to not overheat. A7SIII has no fans.
