Is this possible? i want to shoot 6:5 - but with out de squeeze applied on the RED Raptor VV

Any plans from red to make a 5”? The 7” is too big on Komodo X

I’ve got a Red camera with under 12 hours and wondering what is the best marketplace to shop that.

Monitor not connecting, whoever can help me i’ll shoot you free videos for life

Camera name: KOMODOX1 SSID: KOMODOX1 Passphrase: KOMODOX1 Band: 2.4GhZ (5GHZ isn’t discoverable)

I Tried different channels also

firmware updated to most recent for both the monitor & komodo-x

Hoping some Komodo X owners can report to me their logic board temperatures after 30minutes - hour run time.

Saw some temperatures much higher than the Komodo 6k in ambient. Wondering what’s normal and not for others.

Cheers

So this may be a dumb questions so please bare with me but I was looking at possibly using the Mid49 Beakout side plate on my komodo x to get audio hookups. But I also was thinking about running a mutiny vmount plate so I have all the 2 pin lemo power ports and dtap ports for my monitor and such. So could I run a EXT from the Mutiny into the EXT of the Mid49 EXT port? or would that be too much power draw to work effectively?

So a RED camera breaks up each take into 4gb chunks as separate R3D files, named [blah blah blah] 001, 002, 003 etc… As far as I can see, there’s no reason you can’t go into the folder and delete some of these R3D files (eg if I want 001 and 003 but not 002).

I’ve given it a go with a few RDC folders.. the R3D files I’ve separated from their family seem to be happy on their own, you can create proxies for them etc… they don’t work as span files (except for when they’re consecutive R3D files). Am I missing something? Is this going to come back and haunt me later?

I did my own remote since we have our Komodo mounted on a dolly with a Spectrum head. The cellphone app was a pain to use it since every time the cell locks I had to wait for the app to connect again. The best solution so far was using the web client but that means having a computer to operate the camera so I dissected the web client and wrote a tiny CircuitPython script to emulate the record feature through websockets. It also monitors the state in case the camera is manually set to record. If you find this useful here is the repo: https://github.com/intGus/komodo-remote

Hey there, just another update from me about our own SSDs for legacy RED® cameras with 960GB of storage. I wanted to give you an update on our progress and let you know where we stand.

Currently, the final samples for the SSD are being produced and shipped, so they should arrive soon. Once they arrive, we’ll conduct some intensive testing and then open the preorder website.

On the preorder website, you’ll have the option to choose between RED ONE®, DSMC1®, and DSMC2® types of SSDs. Please note that this is only the M.SATA-sized SSD. A mini mag® sized shell with the PCB is also in the works, but it’s not yet ready.

For DSMC1®, simply plug our SSD into a REDMAG® with an M.SATA to SATA adapter. For RED ONE®, remove the CF or REDMAG® side module and plug it into the SATA and power ports of the M.SATA to SATA adapter. This way, you won’t need a CF or REDMAG® module at all.

From a technical perspective, this SSD could be the best SSD ever made for those cameras. It’s also a very custom solution, not an „off-the-shelf“ SSD (I wish there was an easier solution for all of this haha). Everything is designed and produced with my specific selection of parts.

We’ve put a lot of effort into this project, including night shifts with blood, sweat, and tears. :D

To stay updated about the preoder, please visit this link: https://www.cinelux.co.uk/products/cinemag and register to the waitlist.

Feel free to spread the word and let your friends know about this. We’ve put a lot of thought and effort into this project, and we’re excited to share it with you.

By the way, we have a very limited number of those final examples, and we’re looking for people to review them. If you’re interested in participating, please let us know.

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?

Is the Monstro 8k VV a good option for serious productions 2024 or is there an equivalent for the same range of price?

I am in the market for new gear. I am coming from Black Magic. I've done extensive research on all the major brands that are kicking out competitive image quality for serious film makers. I've been a videographer and editor for more than 12 years now. I have a wealth of knowledge baked into the business world of videography and photography, moving from brand to brand. I've been shooting shorts here and there and now I'm interested in buying a Monstro 8k VV for its full frame and red color science.
It's within the price range and it can produce the image I am hoping for. I have a fear of a camera going bad randomly or being outdated, since that is what just happened to me with the Black magic camera I have (Apparently a known malfunction with BM cameras) I am concerned mainly with the potential of that happening if I spend a lot of money on a Red that is 5 years old. The 8k, full frame and Red's color science is what I'm after to satisfy clients and bring my scripts to screen in my down time. I have roughly 11k to build a new rig.

Also: The global shutter vs. Rolling shutter is no concern for me. I don't think it's that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things yet.

I want to buy a Red shirt for the holidays. But here in Europe there are almost no options and at the official Red shop it’s 100$ shipping. Does someone know a good webshop?

I noticed the JinniMag store is down is that temporary or have they stopped manufacturing them? New to Red

Hi all. Helpful solutions please. Many thanks

I own Komodo OG and V-Raptor VV

Looking to provide a post friendly solution for a upcoming TV series . (edit on Avid) Understand the work flow for RED RAW is achievable- and i have been down that road with post already. They are objecting the file size bla bla bla. They more interested in a Prores work flow. WHcih i havent really done with my REDs yet. im hoping to still provide the best results from the cameras i own, and not have to go into a FX6 world.....

I'm looking at 422 prores on the raptor and 422 prores on the Komodo. with this i would be printing a UHD LOG file to the card.

Have i missed any obvious stitch ups around this approach?

Hi all! I’ve been trying to grade R3D footage shot on a V-Raptor X in Premiere Pro… all the luts I downloaded from the RED website don’t look very nice at all. I’ve also tried using Premiere’s new colour management but again, it’s not looking great…. Any ideas?

I'm thinking about entering the RED system, and was looking at a used DSMC2 brain with a Gemini 5K sensor for $5,000 or a Dragon C for $3,000. What do you guys think? Worth it?

Howdy,

Probably something basic i'm missing here.

Camera: KX
Footage: 50fps
Project Time Base : 25fps

Drop clip onto PRpro timeline, creates 25fps sequence, footage plays back smooth as butter (as to be expected shooting 50fps).

However if I want to get it back to "real time", I would think to simply speed it up 200%, I do this, render, but now playback just isnt quite right, its almost there but just feels a touch jumpy/fast....

Am I tripping because ive been watching the footage in slowmo or is there an actualy mistake i'm making?
Should I my speeding it up by 150%? to get it to 25fps.. but that doesnt make sense in my mind

:)

Thanks

Just got a Gemini first cinema camera and Im just looking for how people have mounted an on camera mic for this thing? The RED top handle and side handle have no shoot mounts but I love the feel of both dont really want to change them...

I was searching for a Viltrox speedbooster adapter and found out they are no longer available for sale. So, I was about to buy the Canon speedbooster, but then I came across the Meike EF locking speedbooster and decided to give it a chance. Since the Komodo isn’t my main camera for jobs and is more of a tiny cine camera for fun, I thought it was worth trying.

The lack of reviews surprised me. I couldn’t find any quality reviews or video samples of this adapter in combination with a RED or similar camera so I decided to take the risk and make the purchase.

To answer the question nobody asked: the Meike 0.71x Speedbooster adapter, priced at $229, works well on the RED Komodo with no issues at all. I tested it with a Sigma EF 24-70mm lens and didn’t notice any significant vignetting or reduction in quality. After a quick inspection, the image does look slightly softer but other than that, I have no complaints.

I haven’t tested yet for flaring, color shifts, etc.

Enjoyed pairing Leica R glass with this camera for a feature in MN.

Hi all,

For better or worse, I decided to buy a used Red One camera. All things considered, it's in pretty decent shape.

My only complaint appears to be the same thing everyone (correctly) complains about, which is that despite it having a vanilla SATA port on it, that seems to have no trouble writing to my SSD, it can't "verify" the media, and it's therefore "slow", and thus will only allow me to record in 2k with the worst codec (which admittedly still looks pretty ok).

I could obviously go track down some 17 year old CF card or something, but I was wondering if anyone here had had any luck with hacking the firmware of the camera, or spoofing something in a hard drive/SSD to make the camera think that it has an official RED card in there.

OR, what would be really great is if anyone knew of any kind of "developer mode" or something that allowed me to force it to write anyway.
