Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 - Heat issue?

PostThu Jan 25, 2024 2:33 pm

I received my camera a week ago, but had to wait for the arrival of a compatible lens. So far I have only been able to do a few tests on the camera.

I have been very surprised by how hot the camera body gets, the metal part that houses the controls and the lens mount is painfully hot to touch. I can feel that hot air is exiting the vents either side of the lens but I don't hear a fan running. Have other owners experienced anything similar? I am wondering if I have a defective unit.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello, we received it recently and I was very surprised by the heat that the camera gives off. However, as far as our equipment is concerned, only the left ventilation grille of the camera is very hot (you can't leave your hand touching it for more than 5 seconds), and the selection buttons are hardly affected by this heat.

I'm sorry, but I think your camera has a problem. I've put my ear to the ground and I can hear the fan turning, although its noise is barely perceptible.

Perhaps an update will change this?
