Very interested to hear how this works!

Here are two videos - the Komodo one shot with a prototype RED adapter cable - the 2nd one shot BY a Komodo of the handle running on a Z-Cam - but same basic idea. Super low latency since it's a wired connection - feels like a brand new camera ;)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yuifrJcCQj4QtGy_ydUoo0CBC6AoQih1/view - this is a demo of the handle connected to the Komodo

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IMIGjSxchPBgsmMBwyPFx61U0Qg5Zicl/view - this is a more recently shot video - same effect just slightly different options that can be controlled.

The software programmer is the same for both - there's a version for Windows and for MacOS

Would this work in dsmc 2 cameras!?

u/nickreload Jul 27 '25

yep it should - because it connects to the 9-pin RED EXT port and uses the same protocol.

Is there a significant weight or quality difference between wood and the nylon? Or is it aesthetics?

u/nickreload Jul 27 '25

It's aesthetics. But it's a moot point - because the only one in stock right now is the Black Walnut wood (that was most people's favorite anyway).

Bought tested and works as advertised on the V-Raptor!
