On the ground - I have a 5v PC fan fitted to a stand to blow air over the camera / gimbal..... I don't like heat ... in my mind better safe than sorry.
We demand lightweight small cameras etc - the result is heat !
I'm sure you have a better understanding of these things but Isn't this a bit of an "overkill"? While the PS3 is flying, surely there's plenty of air going over the camera to keep it cool......in fact there's a howling gale under those props and once you land, it's turned off so no problem. Even if its just sitting on the ground turned on, the heat produced is absolutely minimal.... perhaps a couple of degrees at the most, I just tried it. I would have thought that if Dji considered this necessary, wouldn't they tell us? Out of curiousity, why would making a camera lightweight and small result in heat? ............. just wondering. I remember my camera did get very hot once when I first got it.................my son hadn't taken the gimball guard off and I suspect it was the poor gimball motor struggling to get everything in position that was producing the heat........... I blamed my son as he always insisted on never reading instructions it's all "intuitive" he'd say!! |
