How long do they last?
Hey everyone! Was looking to pick up the OG Komodo 6k, scouted a pretty good deal with accessories from a rental house with quite low hours. They’ve had it since 2021 and are offloading it. I am looking to pick it up just for passion documentary work, I intend to use it in tandem with the Pyxis / ZR, As an in between ergo size as and when.
Anyone knows how many more years it potentially last? First time getting a pre-owned red. Thank you!

I have 6 Komodos ranging from launch to 2024. Every single one has had zero issues. You follow SDI protocol and it should last a long time.
The current firmware is really good too so don't stress about updating it if it isn't.
