SmallRig 5874 Cooling Fan for Nikon ZR

SmallRig 5874 Cooling Fan for Nikon ZR – 7,000 RPM Fan with TEC Cooling for Extended Recording

The SmallRig 5874 cooling fan reduces overheating in the Nikon ZR camera, helping you record high-resolution video for longer. It combines a high-speed 7,000 RPM fan with TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler) technology to improve heat dissipation and to effectively prevent thermal shutdown during extended shoots.

Advanced cooling system for prolonged recording

The unit pairs a 7,000 RPM fan with TEC technology to move heat away from the camera body. As a result, the camera runs cooler under demanding recording conditions. In addition, the fan provides two speed settings—high and low—so you can choose stronger cooling or quieter operation depending on your shooting scenario.

Fast, tool-free mounting and screen access

SmallRig designed a tool-free snap-on mount so you can install or remove the cooler in seconds. This quick mounting system keeps operation effortless and maintains access to the camera’s LCD screen while the cooler is attached. However, note that the camera’s LCD screen cannot be retracted when the fan is mounted; remove the cooler before retracting the screen.

Compatibility and adaptable design

The included mounting bracket provides native compatibility with the Nikon ZR. For additional flexibility, you can remove the bracket and adapt the cooler for a range of Sony mirrorless cameras without extra accessories. This makes the unit useful both for Nikon ZR users and for Sony shooters who need extra cooling when the bracket is removed.

Power and long-duration use

This cooling fan does not contain a built-in battery and requires an external power source to operate. For extended power and continuous cooling during long shoots, the unit works with SmallRig V-Mount battery mount plate kits and V-Mount batteries. Use of an appropriate external power source lets you maintain cooling for longer recording sessions.
