Review: Ulanzi Camera Cooling Fan - Why it did not work for me | Video&Photo Gear Reviews

In this video I talk about Ulanzi Camera Cooling Fan for Sony/Canon/FUJIFILM/Nikon Old model.
Be aware that Ulanzi at this point has produced an upgraded model they call "C072GBB2 | Upgraded" with a different attachment mechanism.
Should I give it a try and see how they fixed the issue?
I planned to use this contraption on my Canon EOS R8 camera.
I did not have a chance to test it on any other cameras they have on their compatibility list.

@5:25 "that is the problem" :)

What can I say 🙃

[@user-jd9wb8xx7c]

They just released a new version that supposedly makes it stay on the back of the camera. I'm returning my set

[@maxsam201]

Yes, that is what I'm mentioning in the text / description to this video.

[@JesusChristSaves.]

Yes, just got mine and it works SOOO much better and sits flush right on the cameras body when the screen flips out. I had the suction cup one first and it would fall off after about 20-40 mins max. This one's not going anywhere, especially if it's on a tripod

[@maxsam201]

Maybe I should order the updated version and try it too.

[@JesusChristSaves.]

@@maxsam201 You will not be disappointed my friend. I had the original one with the suction cups as well. This version is 20 times better of a design 👏🏻Good on Ulanzi listening to the people and thinking this one through. I would absolutely buy it now before the price goes up and do a review, I think you will realize this is everything the first version had potential to be, but actually done right

[@maxsam201]

@@JesusChristSaves. Cool deal, I shall try it then!

[@jarmaxpro]

Great, so those of us who bought the original versions get absolutely nothing for those and now we have to spend the same amount of money AGAIN to get a product that was supposed to work properly the first time. Ulanzi knew they messed up the original version, and that's why they were so quick to release an updated version. I will not be giving them any more money. They need to allow us to trade in the old versions for the new versions at no charge.

I tend to agree with you. It doesn't look like they did a proper testing on this original version prior to making the production run. And it looks like they made many of them - they are still available at a reduced price.
