Blackmagic Design Spares - Video Assist - FanThe Blackmagic Design Video Assist Fan is the official replacement cooling component designed for the Video Assist series. As these monitor recorders process high bitrate video (such as ProRes and Blackmagic RAW) and power high brightness screens, they generate significant heat. This internal fan is critical for maintaining a safe operating temperature and preventing thermal throttling or hardware damage. Targeted Thermal Management The Video Assist

The Blackmagic Design Video Assist - Fan is the official replacement cooling component designed for the Video Assist series. As these monitor-recorders process high-bitrate video (such as ProRes and Blackmagic RAW) and power high-brightness screens, they generate significant heat. This internal fan is critical for maintaining a safe operating temperature and preventing thermal throttling or hardware damage.

Targeted Thermal Management

The Video Assist fan is a low-profile, high-efficiency brushless motor designed to move air quietly through the unit's internal heat sinks. By pulling heat away from the main processor (FPGA) and the high-brightness backlight, the fan ensures the device remains stable during long recording sessions or in high-ambient-temperature environments.

Symptoms of Fan Failure

If the internal fan becomes clogged with dust, develops a bearing issue, or fails entirely, you may notice the following:

  • Excessive Noise: A grinding, buzzing, or whining sound during operation.

  • Overheating Alerts: The unit displaying a temperature warning on the screen.

  • Sudden Shutdowns: The device powering off during a recording to protect the internal circuitry.

  • Touchscreen Glitches: Excessive heat can sometimes cause the touch digitizer to become unresponsive or behave erratically.

Compatibility and Design

While many Video Assist models look similar, the fan specifications (size, voltage, and connector type) can vary between the 3G, 12G HDR, and original 4K models.

  • Precision Connectors: The fan features a micro-plug that connects directly to the Main PCB, allowing the Blackmagic OS to monitor and regulate fan speed based on internal temperature sensors.

  • Compact Form Factor: Engineered to fit within the narrow tolerances of the magnesium alloy chassis without interfering with the LCD ribbon cables or battery plates.

Key Features

  • Genuine Blackmagic Spare: Ensures the correct airflow-to-noise ratio for professional film sets.

  • Variable Speed Control: Compatible with the device's internal thermal management system.

  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand the constant "on/off" cycles of production use.

  • Quiet Operation: Designed to minimize acoustic interference when the monitor is used near on-set microphones.

Technical Installation Note

Replacing the fan requires a partial teardown of the Video Assist unit.

  • Access: On most models, the fan is located behind the Main PCB or tucked near the top of the chassis.

  • Cleaning: When replacing a failed fan, it is highly recommended to use compressed air to clear any dust from the internal cooling fins of the heat sink to ensure the new fan can move air effectively.

  • Cable Routing: Ensure the small power wires for the fan are routed away from the hinges and screw holes to prevent pinching during reassembly.

The Perfect On-The-Go Snack!
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Original
I’ve tried countless meat sticks, but these 100% grass-fed beef sticks are in a league of their own. They have officially become my absolute favorite snack, and I make sure to always have a stash on hand in my pantry and gym bag. ​What really sets these apart for me: ​Superior Texture: Unlike so many other brands that are dry or tough to chew, these have the perfect amount of moisture and a "snap" that isn't rubbery. ​Clean Ingredients: It’s hard to find a convenient snack made with such high-quality, grass-fed beef. You can really taste the difference. ​Low Sugar: I love that I’m getting a protein boost without the hidden sugars and fillers found in most jerky products. ​If you're looking for a quick, savory, and healthy snack that actually satisfies, look no further. Highly recommended!

Soft and delicious, but pricey (but worth it if you care about health)
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
Ugh, I wish these weren't so pricey, but I know it's because of the high-quality and I really do care about that. I'm willing to pay a bit more of grass-fed and finished meat. And these are the perfect quick snack. They're delicious, they're not hard and impossible to bite/chew like some meat sticks, and they give you clean nutrition. I didn't find them particularly greasy either. The packaging is impossible to open, but I wonder if I got a bad set - all of them are fully sealed at the top where normally there are two pieces so that you can peel the package open. All of mine require scissors to cut open which is frustrating but not the end of the world. Again, not sure if that's standard packaging or just a flaw on the ones I got. In any case, they are great and I have already repurchased!

DELISH
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Jalapeño
My entire family LOVES these meat sticks. You can taste the freshness. The texture is meaty, No greasy film, no nasty ingredients. I was sold after reading about the fermentation process of these meat sticks. Excellent flavor. I’ll never stop eating these. Jalapeño are my favorite, they aren’t too spicy.

Ten star quality and hands down the best I've ever had
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
I had a health practitioner suggest I increase protein intake and add in some game meats (venison, bison, elk) along with beef. I found Paleo Valley venison and beef sticks as a great solution to add these to my diet without a big bite in my budget. Paleo Valley provides several beef sticks that are all tasty and will appeal to a variety of consumer preferences though my personal favorite is the venison. All their sources are grass fed and finished, pasture raised and finished. You can instantly taste the difference in quality with your first bite. The sticks are firm and moist, nicely flavored and are simple to carry around as a quick snack or extra protein boost. I found I have less interest in sugary or carb-filled snacks by eating a quality protein source. Many other brands I've tried are hard, dry, heavily spiced and don't really taste natural. Not so with Paleo Valley. As a company, I found them to be very health conscious and have other supplements available, along with really useful educational tips for a healthier lifestyle. I think it's important to leave good reviews when I find something that's exceptional quality and Paleo Valley fits that bill.

BEST GLUTEN FREE BEEF STICKS!
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Original
I have bought these mulitple times and now have decided to become a monthly subscriber. I love the fact of the "natural" ingredients, these are truly GLUTEN FREE with no hidden ingredients. The taste is amazing and has the perfect amount of spices, not to much but by NO means bland either. They are always fresh and last a long time. They are never dry, not one single time.
