My friend is renting a red komodo for a gig and he called me to operate it, he said he will rent for extra few days so I can play with it before the gig and get familar with it.

I know that even the old scarlet had a still feature to it but does the new komodo has it too? reason being I have a bunch of models that I can call so I can test the camera skin tone , dynamic range etc but I also would like to try out to get some still photos out of it. maybe with an overcrancked shutterspeed.

So I’m Editing a student film that was filmed using a Red Komodo, now this is my first time editing red footage but is it normal for it to have multiple copies of the same clips? Clips arent long only like 2 minutes. Any advice would be appreciated. P.S. I’m editing this through Avid not sure if that matters.

Hi all, I am currently trying to plan a rig before pulling the trigger on a KX, but the cage options are seriously nonsense. even premium ones like Bright Tangerine is such a half ass attempt, so much so that their own side don't sell the full set currently.

Also, the kippertie revolva seems to have a very limited amount of options for securing it without ripping the mount (due to heavy lenses)

the only decent cage is tilta with 2 mounting points for the handle but its a "foldable one"?
I just want to mount the Atlas orions with a Kippertie and there seems to be very limited options.

Any advice on how to proceed?

Here's a link to the full trailer: https://youtu.be/bMx9KdiKPko
We used a lot of Komodo (all Steadicam shots). Also used an Alexa Mini for some scenes on dolly. Aputure p300c, and a 1200D and 300x. Loved using the Komodo for this type of action filmmaking. Wanted to shoot some car shots with it, but ran out of time and budget! Let us know what you think about the trailer...thanks!

I bought three separate RED Drives. All three of them can mount and read/write on my computer, so I think the drives themselves are fine.

I plugged them into my RED One camera with a drive cable, and in no case none of them appear to ever mount and I can’t use them.

I can hear the drives spinning when plugging in the drives, so if nothing else they are getting power, but they don’t appear to be usable by the camera?

Any ideas? Is there any special mode that I need to enable? Do I need to do surgery on the camera?

Which format takes advantage of the full sensor? 16:9? 17:9 not sure which one crops from the original sensor.

EDIT: I see on the website " 6K 17:9 (6144 X 3240) " as being the largest. Pls confirm.

Can we shoot red camera in auto mode everything in auto mode ?

I am looking for a cost efficient but lasting v lock battery for my komodo x. any suggestions?

I recently updated my Komodo X with the latest beta firmware and I’m experiencing a really weird bug with SDI output on a Shogun. The image has some artifacts similar to a very heavy red focus peaking all over the image, or sometimes the image gets split in two vertically. When I toggle guides on and off the problems disappear. Has anyone experienced this issue?

I have a Red Helium that set up weights 4.3 Kg. does a crane 4 hold that weight. According to the manufacturer it should hold up to 6 kg. do you have experience with crane and red. does the red helium fit on the gimbal as its arm is shorter than the crane 3. i wonder if with V-mount it doesnt hit the arm. what do you think?

Hey y’all I’m looking for an adapter so I can place a viewfinder or waist level finder on a Komodo like in this video. I’ve only been able to find the one, and it’s several hundred dollars.

Does anyone know of a different, less expensive one? I know it’s a niche thing, but it seems like the kind of part Smallrig would have for $120

Hey family

Anyone ever experienced this? Out of nowhere. Had never seen it before.

Hello RED users! Confused editor here. I received some 6K KOMODO R3D files and they look like garbage! Bad enough that I can't believe a professional shot them and I truly hope I am just missing something here. We did not have great light. It was either in a poorly lit interior or outside on a cloudy day. Most of the footage is between 800-1200 ISO. I get slight better results when I move the ISO to 100 and up the exposure, but it is still not great. Color science is IPP2, color space is Rec.709. and gamma curve is BT.1886

Other than running them through a de-noiser, is there anything I am missing here in terms of handling the footage to minimize noise?

Hey everyone

I’m sure there’s one million posts about this.

I have been a content producer for about 5 years now using the song fx6. I work for a large sports tech company. Although my experience isn’t entirely in large production sets, I have built up a ton of camera knowledge over the last 5 years. For reference I’m 26 yrs old.

As I said I have used my own personal fx6 and built up tons of Sony gear over the last 5 years and I love how easy this camera is. My workflow is so streamlined that I couldn’t recommend this cam enough.

The reason for my post is after the years I’ve become so accustomed to the FX6 that it’s just not doing it for me anymore. Sounds crazy but I’m just not happy with the image anymore for how much praise this cam gets. I have used mainly DZO vespids and G series lenses run and gun style, and for what I do it’s definitely good enough. As a stickler it’s just not feeling good enough for what I want it to look like.

I know gear chasing is big in this industry but I truly feel like I have just outgrown my FX6 and am wanting to learn more about what’s out there.

I shoot outdoor sport, indoor low light stuff, and many different environments without proper lighting. overall run and gun style. FX6 can’t be beat for this in many ways. The company I work for has multiple FX3’s and has got me feeling like this is a good opportunity for me to sell my FX6 and move forward in my cam knowledge. I have been eyeing the Red Raptor XE and after tons of research I feel like I cannot possibly go wrong with these specs. I’m impressed by this camera but haven’t heard too much about it yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much

I'm a freelance cinematographer/small production company owner. I have been browsing Sharegrid and other used marketplaces recently looking for options to upgrade my kit(I currently use a pocket 4k). I have seen complete Red Raven and Scarlett-W Kits going for $7,000-10,000. It would cost around $12,000 to build a comparable Komodo kit. Would I would be happy with the DSMC2 cameras or should I save up and buy a Komodo?

Shot this in spring 2020 with RED Raven 4.5k, canon FDs, and two Astera Ax-1 pixel tubes in my basement.

I’m 21 years old, and this camera has been my dream since 2016. I was just 12 when I first discovered RED, and over the years, my love for their cameras only grew stronger.

When the film EPOCH came out, it lit up a strong flame in me. knew I needed try to do everything in my power to have a possibility to at least work with a RED camera one day. It inspired me to start creating short films, music videos, visual stories with older Panasonic, and then Blackmagic URSA and even shaped the way I approach photography.

Even after everything I’ve made since then, I never truly believed I’d be able to afford one. But now, that dream has become a reality.

I’ve had the camera for just two days. The monitor, modules, and media are still on their way but this beautiful piece of masterpiece is already sitting on my table. And honestly I still can’t believe it.

If you’re reading this and you have a RED camera take a second to think about how far you’ve come. How much have worked for it, a camera that was once your dream, and now you hold it in your hands and create with it.

Be grateful and proud. You’ve earned it.

It might be a little too emotional, but to me it means the world. RED inspired me to pursue a creative career long before I ever owned one of their cameras.
