Over-Heating on DSLR (i have a D750) during video

New D750 ... pleased with most of it. BUT the camera over-heats quickly when shooting video. I have put on a battery grip and designated that the batteries in the grip be the first to be used. I've seen a number of complaints on the web about this very issue. I've already invested in Nikon lenses, so I'm a bit stuck with the D750. (which is otherwise good) . But if I had known the weakness of it's video earlier, I would not have purchased it.
So here I am.
Two questions....
1) Any one here have experience (or ideas) about what to do about this over-heating problem...?
2) I'm thinking that if I can't over-come the issue to the extent of having decent quality reliable video, I'll pick up a Panasonic GH4 ... or maybe a use GH3 0r 2. (I hear Nikkor lenses (I have three) can be mounted on the Panasonic. Any insights into this would be appreciated also.
Or ... maybe I should only shoot video during nice cooold blizzards here in New England !!!

PS: I have also heard that an Atmos Ninja attached to the HDMI on the D750 will take the burden off of the camera and thusly prevent (or greatly decrease) the overheating. But before I go and purchase yet another add-on, I'd greatly appreciate to hear if others have used the Atmos ... and if indeed this might solve my dilemma ...?

Have not heard of this. How long do shoot a video before it over heats?

How quickly? DSLR's only shoot video for 29.99 minutes otherwise they'd be classified as video cameras, and not DSLR cameras. I believe they also do this because of the heat they generate when shooting video. You might consider shooting shorter clips. If you are using it to shoot long clips such as a speech, seminar, class etc, then I'd buy a video camera for that job.

I would send it in for repair. That's not right and shouldn't be happening. Have you tried to Google it and see of others are having the same problem and if they've got a remedy?

I have a D750 and haven't done much videoing but did fool with it when I got the camera and I shot some clips for 5 to 6 minutes and didn't notice anything. Will check again for sure and get back with you.

I shot a full 10 minutes of 1080P 60fps (the maximum time the d750 will shoot this format) and the only warmth the camera got was from my hands holding it. So there must be something wrong there. Did you try a different battery; maybe the battery is bad; they are lithium batteries and they can heat up and and actually explode. Are you using a Nikon battery or a substitute one? It may not be the camera; I'd consult Nikon or a camera store before you do anything.

Hi Shaker,
Did you come to any conclusions on the over-heating problem? Are you shooting in hot weather in bright sunlight? On a very hot day, the black body on my D7000 can get pretty hot if exposed to direct sunlight for a few minutes.

I also have the Nikon D750 and when I do video with the SDHC card (32gb) I can only get about 20 to 25 minutes (that is the limitation) and my camera does NOT overheat. Someone else on this forum suggested you return the camera to be fixed; I think that is a good idea.
I also purchased an Atomos Ninja Star (see it here @ B&H https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?InitialSearch=yes&N=0&Ntt=atomos+ninja+star&sts=ma ) and like it very much. The Star ships with a CFast card that will give you 45 min to an hour of continuous video (depending on the quality you use) of superior video as opposed to the heavily compressed video the SDHC card gives you. When using the Ninja Star or any of the other Atomos products, here is what you are doing & I quote the Nikon D750 info from the B&H website: "Recording to an optional external recorder is possible in order to gain uncompressed 4:2:2 8-bit output through the HDMI port" of the Nikon D750.
I hope this helps you.

Hi Shaker,
This thread is about 6 weeks old. I wonder if you ever solved the over heating problem shooting video with your D750. It seems like some other posters who own the D750 do not have this problem.
