    C50 release

    CineD has a mini doc and review: IMO Canon has lost their mojo by going away from the DGO sensors that made the c70/c300 mkiii produce such beautiful images. The c50 just looks flat and digital to me. Seems like they are chasing Sony in form factor AND image now...

    MF tips with Red cameras

    I do primarily docs and I've been in the AF world for awhile with FX/canon c cameras. Now that I picked up a Komodo (OG) I'm trying to hone my manual focus skills again. Does anyone have any tips? Which focus tools do you find most useful? Thanks

    Phantom LUTS oversaturated

    I purchased some Phantom LUTS recently and when I load them onto my Komodo they look super saturated as if I'm "double Lutting" :) The inbuilt Red rec709 LUTS look fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

    Angelbird

    Are they really as bad as they say? I see Angelbird has some Cfast 512gb refurbished on their website for $199. Am I asking for trouble?

    Long shooting days with the Komodo

    I just purchased my Komodo a few months ago and haven't really shot anything but tests so far... I'm planning on shooting a documentary about a progressive grade school from the 1970s. I will be interviewing the students and faculty (who are a lot older now ;) Most of the interviews will be...

    Komodo IR pollution?

    I was filming the bay with my Komodo/sigma 18-35/Polar pro VND @5 stops and the water came out looking very ruddy. To my eye it looked sort of dark gray. Other colors in frame look OK. Am I right in thinking this is IR pollution? Does the Komodo need an IR cut filter? Thanks...

    Outrigger Handle

    My current set-up for handheld on my Komodo is two wing grips. I haven't shot for an extended amount of time yet. I was wondering if those of you who have the Outrigger Handle find it worth the purchase for extended handheld shooting sessions? Also, I just bought a bag which fits the Komodo...

    Sigma art 17-40

    I wonder if this lens will be supported on the Komodo? I know third party RF lenses have been hit or miss on non-Canon bodies... https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1901074-REG/sigma_214972_17_40mm_f_1_8_dc_art.html

    Portkeys antenna stuck

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place… The antenna on my Portkeys bm5iii wr is stuck in the halfway up position. It was loose so I hand tightened the nut and now it won’t move. I tried loosening it with a pliar but it won’t budge and the plliar is too big to turn enough to loosen it. Has anyone...

    Sirui VP 1

    Has anyone used these? I can’t find a real review online from anyone besides influencers who received them for free from Sirui.

    BP battery mount sturdiness

    Has anyone run and gun long term using just BP batteries on their Komodo? I was just doing some light handheld work and one of the my Canon bp-955 batteries disconnected from the camera. I don't think it physically disconnected though. Not sure if it was because I bought it used, but a "?"...

    ELQ vs LQ vs ProRes

    I bought the Komodo to use alongside my fx6 to do higher quality talking head work. Is ELQ good enough for interviews or should I shoot Prores? I do long form docs and the interviews are usually about an hour. Is LQ the minimum? I'm worried about data piling up. Thoughts? Thanks

    Premiere Pro laggy playback

    Hi all. I've been in the Sony ecosystem for years, so I haven't really worked with RAW files in a while. I've been having issues with laggy playback with R3D Komodo files shot in 6K in LQ and ELQ. I'm choosing the 4K Red sequence preset and I'm editing on a 2022 Mac Studio m1 Max with 32gb of...

    Power Issue

    Brand new Komodo with official Canon BP batteries. I installed one battery that was pretty low in the unit and when I turned the camera on the boot process just stalled and the final screen never came up. When I tried to turn the unit off the red light just stayed on. I put a second battery with...

    Budget on-camera monitor

    Hi all. New to this group (and Red) but I'm a dinosaur who's been on dvxuser for 20 yrs. I just picked up a Komodo after the price drop and I'm looking for a budget monitor (without control) that has a decent refresh rate. I picked up this Viltrox from BH recently and it has a noticeable lag...
