    ZR

    What I'm missing at CineD is a RGB-Waveform for all tested camera not only for RED / Nikon. At other cameras they usually show only the luma-value (rgb-mixed) what damages CineD's reliability.

    Komodo-X Z-mount autofocus

    Magadap says (https://megadap.net/product/etz21-proplus/) Compatible with RED and Nikon Z-mount cameras. I suggest two possible causes: the weather sealing may interfere or the release button's border next to the camera's body. If the last causes the issue. You may use a rasp and carefully...

    Komodo-X Z-mount autofocus

    On the KX-Z the megadap ETZ21Pro (MK 1) fits perfect. No force / changes necessary. Which one are you using? Pro? MK2?

    Second KX or V-Raptor EZ?

    May Phil can give the most experienced and detailed reply. Would be interesting for me as well. As I've heard the V-Raptor should be more robust with more processing power compared to KX. It would be interesting to know if the VRX sensor itself leads to better image quality even in crop-mode...

    Introducing the Nikon Zr

    agree price is gread. Thats true. Makes it hard not to take it into account. In case of recording time I recently had the situation with more then 2 hours for a discussion and was happy having the K-X combined with the BMPCC4K they both did the job well. But yes, it may not daily business for...

    Introducing the RED V-Raptor XE

    this is great and makes 8K full-frame more accessable. Does anybody know if we will see a Komodo XE (Z) as well? This would be great as a B-Cam if 6K 35mm are sufficient but longer recordingtimes are needed and for a replacement of older Komodo OGs without Z-mount. It would could find it's...

    Introducing the Nikon Zr

    This was the missing part in the lineup and offers new possibilities. Unfortunately it looks more like a rehoused, refirmwared Z6III. I know, others do the same but this does not mean it is a good idea. I would have expected a nikon-style top-screen (for iris, fps, shutter, iso...) and a back...

    KOMODO FIRMWARE (Beta) VERSION 1.8.5 beta (7/24/2025) & 1.8.6 Release version

    On my KX-Z at FW 2.08 it shows project time base and record fps separately in the metadata. E.g. 25 / 80; 25 / 120. Hope that helps.

    Raptor X - Komodo X Beta 2.0.1 Face Auto Focus tests (compilation)

    on which FW are you? I'm on a KX-Z and had several issues with an adapted E-mount lens from Tamron on FW 2.01, my older Sony-Glass worked better. After the update to 2.08 it significantly improved. Best performance is usually to expect from native mount glass in my case Z-mount. you may want to...

    MF tips with Red cameras

    are you talking about the DSMC3 (https://guide.smallhd.com/a/1469678-focus-assist-pagesos-4). This aligns to peaking and as you may see you cannot distinguish the focus in- and out fading areas. Further on details below the markings are difficult to notice. If it helps you, use it. Every DoP...

    MF tips with Red cameras

    In my opinion most preferable is an EVF but without I'm using just a 5" monitor or the control app in combination with magnification (on camera and / or monitor). Peaking etc. are even helpful but are making difficult to distinguish correctly sharp areas and where they exactly are due to the...

    Media Komodo X: 512 GB working well?

    Have you already bought these? How are your experiences? As far as I know you may get a warning about unapproved media. Does this happen with these as well? In anyway I would advice for 1 TB giving you more time to roll.

    Gioscope: 2nd and 3rd do nothing (on DSMC3 monitor)?

    Have you tried if it works on the SDI out or in combination with Red Control App? I'm asking because I was only able to test with the onboard LCD and SDI and the app. With the app I set Top-Port as source for the livestream. What I've noticed for LCD, SDI, APP is, that it maybe difficult to...

    Strange grid pattern appears in low light

    Wild. Easy fix. Good to know.

    Gioscope: 2nd and 3rd do nothing (on DSMC3 monitor)?

    On which firmware version is your camera? On the latest FW on K-X it works. The Gioscope is greyscale if you do not enable the 1st, 2nd... bars. You may have to enable each bar to see coloured gioscope.
