Here's the retrofitted cooling from USB-cooler clip for reference (the diy perks is frequently posted in other threads so I assume you've seen it).
 

Lots of threads about the R5 now, and all of them seem to talk about overheating at some point, but anyhow, I saw the diy perks video the other day, and then I saw another diy-solution where a guy retrofits the cooling from a USB cooler to the back of the camera, which managed to double the time before overheating in 8K.
So it got me thinking, what's the easiest, cheapest and non-intrusive possible solution? And I realized, there's a huge amount of cooling solutions for phones/pad since they tend to run hot with games etc.
So how about sticking this (or similar) on the back of your R5 when the heat is building up, to quickly cool it down, and then use the time/date hack to reset the timer when needed?

Complete with internal chargeable battery, and suction cups for mounting, for 10$.
I don't own an R5, yet. Still on the edge, but if anyone has tried something like this, or is willing to try it, that would be just super!
