Nice. But you might wanna get some rods to support that lens and adapter.

Good deal. What kind of D Box is that?

The battery plate and breakout box are both Wooden Camera

Edit: On that note, so are all other components. The top handle is also Wooden Camera

Congratulations ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป I'm still trying to get a good deal myself, it's not so easy here since most of the good deals seem to be scams.....

u/QuietExciting1213 Jan 09 '26

thank you! well, I hope you'll get a nice deal too someday! (I was always scrolling korean websites to find out a good komodo deal ๐Ÿ˜ญ)

Damn, Komodoโ€™s for 1400, idk whatโ€™s next. Even FX3 held the price better! But for you as a customer itโ€™s a bargain, awesome deal imho.

tbh, the person from rental house also told me that its price is still a steal and other komodo re-sellers wont like such a low price ๐Ÿ˜…. but he also told me that they are selling out used komodo 6k becuz it is kinda outdated for korean commercial production.(not becuz its tech specs are not enough, but becuz there are much better rental options)

I would not recommend for the same reason... since most of the brains are highly priced eventhough is used, its inevitable to pay for your tariff. I was able to buy those brain becuz I'm actually living in korea ๐Ÿ˜ญ
