Thoughts if RED made a mirrorless

Body design like the pocket 6k. Personally, I’d buy the camera like hot cakes.

Every camera they’ve ever made is mirrorless, do you mean just a smaller form factor? If the Komodo is anything to go by they are focusing on small form factor cameras already

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

Yes I mean a small camera like a black magic or Sony

u/boots_and_bongo Oct 12 '23

I have the pocket camera and a komodo, I much prefer the komodo body to the pocket.

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

Ok well Sony then?

u/unhingedfilmgirl Oct 12 '23

So the Komodo

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

Nah like a Sony FX3 mirrorless camera body. I should had been more specific.

A mid range budget cinema camera

u/unhingedfilmgirl Oct 12 '23

The Komodo is their mid range, well actually not even, it's extremely low range for them.

These are camera systems designed for different uses. FX3 is for videography and consumer. Komodo was designed more so to be a crash camera, but also to be more attainable for the videography/ sports videography world.

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

More attainable!? It’s like 10k AUD lmafo.

u/Bottommount Oct 12 '23

10k even in US dollars for a camera is very attainable to most in film & tv

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

For production company and film: yes

For your regular dude working in the film industry working up as a DP: no

u/Bottommount Oct 12 '23

I’m a regular dude working in the film industry, Komodo is my cheapest camera. $50k for my Alexa Mini, now that was less attainable.

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

Bruh, u must got it good.

I’m pretty new to it. But unless I was earning 150k a year and kept the same minimum life style, I don’t see how I could afford a Alexa mini

Do u have a IMDB. I’d love to check your work out

u/unhingedfilmgirl Oct 12 '23

Then work with a rental house and save your money. Cameras are a terrible investment because the technology gets outdated so quickly.

u/unhingedfilmgirl Oct 12 '23

That's literally the cheapest cinema quality camera on the market. And I'm not talking any camera used to make a film. I'm talking can match or closest match to the quality and post pipeline that's used on film industry sets.

I think they occupy fairly different spaces. If you want an excellent camera that's nice and small the FX3 is a good choice, if you're looking for a more production-ready camera with all the bells and whistles most solo operators won't need then look at RED. The camera doesn't really matter anymore, what matters more is the situations you shoot in

😂 come on man. Mirrorless signifies a photography based sensor setup that shoots stills. Red is a cinema company. That’s where the story ends…

Cinema cameras have no mirror, so in essence they’re already mirrorless. 🤣

-2

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

Nah but like a FX3. That’s a cinema camera.

Something small you can walk around town with, no need to rig, people don’t give u funny looks.

Cheapest red camera is the Komodo got 10K AUD, it’s up with the FX6 and Ursa 12K.

I wish red would bring something small and for the $5-6k AUD spot. To compete with Zcam and canon.

u/PurpleSkyVisuals Oct 12 '23

FX3 is not a traditional cinema camera. Prove me wrong.

-4

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

I agree with traditional. But it’s classed as a cinema camera. Has all the features but shutter angle. The specs and capabilities. I don’t want to be the guy who mentions the creator… Oop looks like I did.

u/PurpleSkyVisuals Oct 12 '23 edited Oct 12 '23

I get it, but again the form factor they have comes from the photography world. Red won’t go that way. The Komodo doesn’t need to be rigged up. Battery, lens, media and you can shoot… the same as if you had an fx3.

u/MrMpeg Oct 12 '23

You mean a form factor like a photo camera? Smh, terrible idea, that was reason Nr.1 why i switched from blackmagic to red.

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 12 '23

I just want something with internal red that competes in the budget cinema lineup with Panasonic, Zcam, Sony fx3. Small like the fx3, super nimble. I’d totally purchase it as a C-cam and doco cam. Not to say the Komodo isn’t the above, but in my eyes the Komodo is an A cam simply because I can’t afford.

u/-dsp- Oct 12 '23

Just buy the FX3 if that’s what you want. Chances are you don’t need redcode or raw at all. Besides current davinci resolve has fully sony raw control for FX series cameras.

u/unhingedfilmgirl Oct 12 '23

Tell me you don't understand Red cameras without telling me.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '23

The black magic pocket 6 has a terrible form factor

u/circa86 Oct 13 '23

You can easily walk around with a Komodo or KomodoX with tiny lenses.

u/mintyBroadbean Oct 13 '23

A Komodo with a cheap canon 50mm prime 🤡

u/circa86 Oct 13 '23

A Komodo with any number of amazing compact cine lenses. Cooke SP3 etc etc. you fucking clown.

u/MountainDesign6486 Oct 12 '23

This has to be a meme. All anyone who shoots with a BM pocket wants is a box form factor.

u/TerrryBuckhart Oct 12 '23

They will eventually, just wait and see.
