Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
Keeping cameras cool is often something of a challenge these days. With users demanding more and more from their cameras in terms of resolution, frame rate, bit rate, continuous stills shooting capabilities and sheer throughput, they get warmer.
Some cameras, like the Canon EOS R5C (buy here) and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K (buy here), have built-in active cooling, but most don’t. That’s where Ulanzi’s new cooling fan steps in to keep your camera shooting for longer.
Besides your camera, your computer is probably your single most important piece of photography equipment.
Laptops and iMacs are nice, but if you’re relying on a big beefy desktop PC or Mac Pro to take care of the heavy lifting, your computer is probably tucked away in a computer cabinet somewhere under your desk.
Have you ever checked to see how hot your hard working computer is getting in that enclosed space?
If not, I suggest you check – a computer that is always running hot will not perform as well and will have a drastically shorter life span than a computer with adequate ventilation. There is a big difference between the amount of heat generated by the average office PC running Excel and a creative professional’s PC rendering 4k video. And although most computer desks come with a computer cabinet that isn’t totally enclosed, the available openings can be clogged with wires or ineffective if pushed up against a wall.
So, in this article I am going to share a few really easy ways to add active computer cabinet cooling with fans.
