How long can I record video with the K01?

Have you looked at the Sony VG-20, VG-30 and VG-900?

They're a very good family of video cameras, that use APS-c sensors, and FF in the VG-900, and take E-mount lenses, so any manual lens can also be adapted.
The stock lenses support continuous AF, as does the majority of the Sony E-mount lenses.

The downside to them for me, may be an upside for your usage - they don't have adjustable colour profiles, only 'video' colour, you record what you see on screen, and they have a range of audio options, from the onboard mics to add-on units for broadcast balanced audio input.

They have one major downside in 2018,... HD only, no 4K.

The only current cameras with similar feature set, and that would not need post-processing, would be the Panasonic G7, G85, new G9, up to the GH4, GH5 and GH5s.

A Pentax version of the VG-30, with the KP sensor, and Sensor Shift, Pentax colour profiles, and a high data rate all-i-frame recording format, would be stunning.

Even though I now have an Aja Cion wearing my SMC primes,.. a Pentax Camcorder of this format, would easily become my favorite go-everywhere camera.

I stick my K-01 on top of my Tascam DR-70D, and feed the K-01 with the Tascam's output.
The advantage, is that when I go in to edit and sync the Tascam sound with the K-01 vision, the clapper marks and waveforms on the NLE's timeline are Identical, making it very very easy to line up the two waveforms.

He He He,... my Rode NTG-2 is always plugged in to the Tascam, and mounted on a boom arm over the talent :D

Nope.

I've only had the Temp warning ONCE in several years of heavy use, and that was after the K-01 had been running for 40+ minutes, and then moved in to Direct Sunlight and recording for another 20 minutes, on a 35+ degree Celsius Melbourne day.

In 'normal' use, you will NEVER overheat a K-01.



Initially, sure, but the SD-XC cameras still stop, because of the EU taxation.

There is an ML script for the 550D that allows the camera to restart automatically, but there isn't any support for that from any of the manufacturers outside of action cameras and camcorders

Should have looked at the XL-H1s, with K-to-EF adaptor and the factory EF-to-XL unit, or the NEX-VG series with K-to-E adaptor ;)
Damn shame they don't make any of them anymore, and I'd love to see Pentax have a go at that style body with IBIS and 4K HDMI out.
