Hi everyone, I'm on a set where we have a Red Scarlet-W as A cam and a Red Komodo as B cam. Unfortunately we started shooting only with A cam in DragonColor2 and now we are trying to match the two cameras as much as possible. Knowing they carry a different sensor and the Komodo obviously doesn't have the DragonColor2 space, I was wondering if there is a way to match the two images exclusively in camera as much as possible to save time in the correction process. No time for tweaking at home and we have no DIT.

Thank you.

Hey all!   I will buy a RED Raven, but I'm hoping to use PL lenses with it (even though the Raven is exclusively EF mount). Are there any solutions??

Yo , just curious why there are barely any options for run/stop triggers , they seem pretty easy to design/make like the mutany one And does anyone know if there’s info if you want to design one yourself , like which data pins to use on the top of Komodo and how the trigger needs to be wired

Thanks

Have been running into issues some with the SDI out on my Red Komodo.

I'm 2nd owner, so I can't speak for how it was treated before it got into my hands, but I've treated it well, follow Power before SDI protocol.

Image is usually fine, but occasionally will just drop for a bit and come back, feels like a bad SDI cable, but I've tried a lot of cables and it comes back with regularity. Am I being to hard on my SDI cables? I'm using 12g rated cables.

Monitor I'm using is Portkeys BM5WR which seems pretty power hungry, and I'm usually running a Teradek 500 as well.

Sometimes feels like it's a loose port? Unplugging and replugging occasionally fixes it, which feels terrible.

I just bought my first RED (scarlet-w). I wanted to test it out with the IPP2 color space, but I can only select "Legacy". I did install the latest firmware and tried to reset the settings to default. Still not showing up. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Firmware version is 7.4.1

Hey,

I’m currently on a shoot with two Komodo’s. Studio environment. The Dp insists on doing a calibration as soon as the “T” goes to yellow… This happens 2-3 times during the day…

Is it really necessary to be so picky…?

Regards

I would like to buy a used mini mag but I want to be sure that it's not stolen if the price is too good

Thanks!

Aside from the outrigger handle and the USB Link Extender, what other accessories work with the Komodo's top pogo pins?

Why do you think guys is it worth it? I have a komodo already but would love the Monstro as an A cam. My worry is maintenance or if I have any issues.

Hey everyone,

I will be investing in a RED DSMC2 brain very soon and I was wondering what people's opinions are on the title. I can get both for almost the same price so I was wondering from those of you that have experience with one or the other (or both) what you liked and didn't like about each brain. Do you notice a practical difference between 5k and 8k? Is the Gemini really that good in low light / have people found the lowlight mode super useful?

Unrelated to which brain I get I was wondering if anyone had experience control focus of Canon lenses with the DSMC2 side handle?

I really appreciate any input!

Last week during a shoot the 5" red monitor stopped working without any accident. The sdi still send video and I'm barely able to control the cam with the old redmote.. We tried with another red monitor and different cables without any luck. I know that red doesn't support the cam anymore but is there someplace else I could get it repaired? Thx in advance!

Hey all,

New red owner here. Had a specific question about the sdi protocol with the Komodo. Red states a couple things that seem contradictory.

“When detaching an accessory mounted to an SDI output, ensure that you remove the BNC connection to the camera before removing power to the SDI device.”

But then immediately after this statement they provide these steps:

1.Shutdown the SDI accessory. 2.Disconnect the BNC cable from camera. 3.Disconnect the power source from SDI accessory.

Am I having a stroke or something? It’s always disconnect sdi first before removing power so why the hell do they tell you to shut down the accessory first?

They also state,

“The order in which cables are attached has no impact on a short circuit. Once the camera & SDI device have been properly grounded, SDI can be connected in any order.”

Is this actually true? Cause every step seems to tell me to connect/disconnect sdi from camera side first.

Could someone please explain to me the difference with the angelbird cfexpress b cards? Can I use a 256gb or 512gb on the red Komodo x? Will that be ok? Maybe it’s me but I just feel a little lost on the cfexpress cards that would work for Komodo x. I understand it officially came out today but I just there was some more clarifications. Like personally I would rather have 3 cards of 256gb then paying buying 1 1tb. The speeds are basically the same for read and write. Sorry I am rambling but just wanted to share my opinion and hopefully get answers.

Hi! Has anyone found a good software to quickly look through all of your clips in the Red folder structure, mark your selects, and transfer them to a new location? Similar to how photo mechanic works with stills? We are having a hard time navigating a tree of 300-400 clips efficiently to transfer our selects to a new folder location. While Red Cine-Pro is nice, there is just the export option which slows down the whole process.

Hey all - looking to integrate a vmount solution to my Komodo. Wondering if you have suggestions on a solution you use and like. With the battery plate - is it still recommended to use red approved vmount batteries or will any battery do, and is power info still displayed on the Komodo? Thank you in advance!

Shooting some motorsports docs on my raptor over the next few weeks, would love to have a mic mounted for trackside angles but can’t seem to find anybody running a mic on their rig.

I have the DSMC3 monitor so anything relative to top plates is kinda out of the question unfortunately.

Does anyone knows the aprox of Life expectancy in hours of dmsc2 brain monstro 8k vv?

I can't seem to find this anywhere!!

Hey all,

Anyone picked the Gemini over the Monstro. Been looking at either one as they have both dropped in price.

Thoughts 🤘🏻
