  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

It might be a little dumb question, but nevertheless I will ask. How long can you run a epic at a time? Is a shutdown reccommanded every now and then?
The question came more or less after a long shooting day. The camera was in action pretty much all the time and did not make sense to make a shut down only to boot it up after 2 minutes again, so it was running all the time. We made shut down a couple of times tho, at one point the monitor showed that the video was choppy (300 fps, moving sideways on slider) , in post production the file itself was fine.
Ps! The Fan 2.0, would it be something one really wants to have, makes a difference?


Thanks alot for answering!
 
Have run an EPIC X and Dragon version continuously for over 36 hours without a hiccup.
Time lapse, battery powered with hot swap Anton Bauer sled.

The fans have never been an issue for me camera performance operationally. Most noticeable difference has been related to audio. Quieter, more efficient.
 
Thanks Brian, Appreciate your feedback alot!
