Mobile videographer and test lead focusing on heat, airflow, and micro‑jitter so creators get stable framing without thermal shutdowns.

Stable framing and thermal headroom matter more than accessory flair; if a rig overheats, it fails the story.

Halfway through a golden-hour take, the overheating alert pulsed and my hero shot died. Cooling packs failed; the rig trapped heat. Back at the bench, I graphed throttle curves and built a shaded airflow tunnel. Now I design around watts and wind before ever pressing record.

I prefer mounts that maximize airflow, shade options, and lens/ND clearance over compact silhouettes.
