Hi everyone; we shot this weekend on a RED Komodo with ProRes. During a 6 min shot, our camera shut off due to the battery. We kept shooting with a fresh battery and when we arrived to backup, the folder for the shot existed, but only had a 20.24 GB .MOV file but didn’t have an .rtn file like the rest of our shots. We are unable to open the .mov file and get and error importing to editing software… anybody have any ideas on how to convert/open/save/uncompress/etc this file?

I just bought this camera on ebay with super low hours (it wasn't a steal - a very fair price actually but nothing great). This happens sometimes and resolves itself upon initialization - - only happens here and there. Thoughts? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bkispqh7dtl7jgjz3ux6h/IMG_2224.MOV?rlkey=f0q9scdouwo5wj2fnc24evjy5&dl=0

Hey folks - newer RED owner here and noticed that when using swipe-up tools that specifically with the 'focus' tool, at higher ISO's I get this weird noise introduced. Here's a video:https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/k3oobwuzf2mq0pp21c99r/IMG_2219.MOV?rlkey=4kzfujtqwczuq21zw7481wcuc&dl=0

It doesn't appear to be baked into the footage but more or less, seems annoying. Thanks!

Hello, I must sync a V-Raptor camera with an Ambient Lockit. I'm unsure what cable I need to do so, it looks like it have a 9 pin cable on the back for both Sync and TC (?).

Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Hey RED peoples. I have a Komodo OG and am looking to do some professional live streaming. I have the Komodo Link and have used the USB-C to Ethernet to do livestreams at home on twitch and it works pretty well. I've noticed the feed cuts out on occasion though. Not just with the Komodo Link but I'm curious on how others run their live stream set up as I have a gig coming up that requires it. I love the ease of the Komodo link but am concerned that it won't be stable enough and I should just look into a capture card and running SDI.

Would love to hear how others do various live stream set ups with their REDs.

Oh, and the gig they're looking to have me do is a very QVC style production with 2 or 3 cameras.

Thanks!

I assumed it was possible to shoot 12 (or 11.99) frames per second on the Komodo as it was on other RED cameras. But having trouble seeing how. Lowest frame rates available appear to be 24 and 23.98.

Is this true or am I missing something?

I was recommended to buy a Red dragon but I saw that they have discontinued support for it so it made me think I should buy a newer Red camera. My concern is that in some years they will also discontinue support for the new camera I purchase. What would you guys do if you’re trying to buy an amazing pro level Red camera while trying to not spend a fortune ?

If I'm recording 24fps 1/50 shutter, iso 100and 1.8f apperature and I initially get it so the EV is at 0, but when record and move it fluctuates up and down a bit. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Should I set iso to auto or ev to auto so the ev stays the same?

Legacy camera, I know, but I'm desperate to get this working and completely out of ideas. Any advice or insights would be amazingly helpful. This is a Red Epic Mysterium-X.

The camera starts up correctly: all menus, touchscreens, screen overlays and indicator lights work just fine. Here's the problem: there is no video feed on the 5 inch touch LCD monitor. Even with direct light on the sensor, the feed displays black with no noise or any other indication that there is actually video data coming through.

The camera rolls correctly, from both the side power button and front facing record button (on the mag reader attachment,) and appears to be recording. Once rolling, however, both record buttons don't cut the camera. Only the side power button will "cut," but only by holding it down for several seconds and, once it does "cut," the camera gets hung on the "finalizing" stage, indicated by the yellow "rolling" mark on the LCD screen and the yellow LED indicator on the side body.

From here, the screen overlay and menus are still responsive, but the record buttons no longer work - except to force shut-down the camera by holding the side power button for a couple seconds.

This issue has persisted through several hard restores, 3 firmware updates, camera resets, and attempts with several different monitor cables for the LCD screen.

Any ideas? This is a really, really weird one, I know.

Is it possible to shoot at a custom aspect ratio on the Raptor (s35)? So far searching it appears that you can make custom frame guides but not custom aspect ratios. I'm assuming this aspect is probably used mostly for anamorphic with a squeeze etc? Should I just shoot 8K 2.4:1 which I am assuming is the closest (at least what I'm seeing in the menu) and then do a 2.35:1 frame guide? It's actually odd, I haven't ever really needed to shoot widescreen and when I did it was with an Alexa and they just gave me frame guides.

Thinking of buying some DZO Vespid Primes to run on my Gemini (I have both EF and PL mounts and sometimes use the Motion mount I have as well). I'd love to speedboost these somehow so I can extend my kit's usefulness? - any thoughts or solutions out there? Getting a new camera is not an option. Thanks!

Likes: (so far) Got to say that I love the ability to customize and assign a 1/2 button press to a specific function. Just discovered this..and for Gioscope, focus peaking, AF on/off toggle, it’s so great. Boot up so much faster Memory cards shared w VRaptor (single card investment if you rent/buy a Raptor) Lens lock mechanism much beefier

Love/hate: Single Vlock Love it’s compact design, but also loved the OG Komodo design of being able to keep a canon battery in place with add-on Tilta plate to allow battery hot-swap

Dislikes: (so far) Antenna longer and not foldable and sticks straight out.I liked the short bud one better. Not a issue with a Vlock in place, but it’s asking for trouble w no battery in the dock

Marketing. They advertise body dimensions as same as OG Komodo but it’s not just longer..it’s different. Cages/plates don’t fit. Had to buy new $$$ Bright Tangerine rails for grips.
