All Komodo owners with V-Lock plates can easily continue with remote follow focus workflows just as with DSMC2s, but what about us who went all-in on the Canon battery route? How do we power regular and common remote FFs like the ARRI WCU-4? Some have mentioned that it's possible to get power...

I'm not sure if this is just me being better at QC nowadays or something else, but it seems like sensors are getting more flashing pixels nowadays than before? We never needed the flashing pixel counter adjustment in RAW settings on Red files before, but now we have it because Gemini had so many...

I'm aiming for pushing the limits of crew sizes for narrative shoots and I'm trying to figure out a way to get sound, without having to control the volume on set. 32 bit is the obvious solution, but I'm not sure what to get. I own a mic that can be used for a mic boom and I've not yet found any...

Big fan of Soderbergh and his no bullshit way of tackling filmmaking. This is done just in the way I imagine many indie movies will be made with the Komodo. I believe it was done before R3D implementation, so SDI recording, but good to see a pro at work doing narrative with it. Looks really good...

Been testing my firecrest NDs and I've noticed some color shift. No ND ND 0.6 How is the Komodo generally behaving compared to older sensors like the Dragon 6K (which I used these for with less shifts)? Is it the NDs that doesn't work with Komodo or what is going on? I've also noticed that...

Maybe we should gather all the stuff we encounter to help Red with firmware changes, bug finding, and so on? Had my Komodo for a week now and so far I'm digging it as my favorite Red camera ever, but, of course, there is some stuff I've encountered that I think could be addressed and tweaked...

I've been making some noise profiles for Komodo and came across some artifacts I can't wrap my head around. When I get up to 5000 and above, there are some banding lines going across a very smooth white surface (underexposed white). I've also seen that the differences between different ISOs...

So with the news of DJI RS 2, me and probably many others aim for it to be the combo stabilization we want with Komodo. But the new Raveneye requires a video feed in HDMI input. How can we solve this either with a converter or similar? If the SDI cannot be converted to HDMI, can we use the Link...

So I've never been forced to do a HDR grade, so never truly dipped my toes into it. But there will be a time where I need to do it so I've started looking into the entire process. So far, it's gone to hell. I've watched a few Red HDR workflow clips on how to set things up, but it still doesn't...

Canon released its new camera and together with that an EF to RF speed booster https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1595393-REG/canon_mount_adapter_ef_eos_r.html Wondering though, since it has a screw set to lock it into place, if it's possible to lock a mount to the Komodo in a similar way...

For future reference, I'd like to pinpoint a few key things that I believe should happen on the software side in order for the AF system to maximize efficiency for video. Of course, it's unclear if some or all of these things are at all possible to have on the Komodo, but I think they're...

By now, it's no mystery that Komodo will require more disk space for the material that we shoot. For anyone who views Komodo as their new A-cam rather than a crash cam, this will probably be the biggest challenge going forward. What might be good options going forward? Good drives that are...

So I'm all fine with 40 fps max at 6K, there has to be a limit somewhere. But it seems there's a very lacking part of the camera where 5K does not reach 50 fps. 48 fps is perfectly fine in NTSC land, but in PAL regions, this creates a ton of problems. Getting a nice supersampled 5K to 4K...

So this has been an issue for a while with earlier DSMC1 and 2 and its the internal battery of the camera draining to zero and causing a loss in settings information and risk of total depletion with a need to send in the camera to change the internal battery for a pretty high cost. What is the...

Not really Red related, except shot on Red, but when I try to do a camera track in Fusion and send it to Blender, the entire camera track and scene is distorted in scale and the camera in Blender is facing the wrong way. Flipping the camera around doesn't work either since nothing in the...

I've been advocating for a long time that we should look past the current spec requests that keep driving the industry of cinema cameras. I have a hard time imagining DSMC3 with just a bump in Ks and DR, less noise and just a phase-detection AF. We are starting to enter the same kind of...

So for those who are looking to get the Komodo as a replacement for their current Red camera and not a complimentary camera, would a trade-in option be possible and in what way would such a thing work. Previously it's always been a trade-in adding a cost to upgrade, but this is more of a...

As with the DSMC2s, will there be a production package available both for the Hydrogen and non-Hydrogen orders? I think that a -baseplate module, handles, screen (non-Hydrogen orders) and maybe a battery mount for V-Lock conversions and light weight rods would be a nice whole package that...

Because of the size and weight of Komodo, we are able to use much lighter and cheaper Gimbal and Steadicam options. Which ones would fit perfectly, based on different setups? I'm thinking a Komodo with V-Lock battery through a cable with a larger cine-lens together with a remote focus gearhead...

I've been advocating for opening up the possibility to use the in-camera tracking (gyro etc.) to be able to post-stabilize footage in the same way that the SteadXP does. But so far it's only been met with "well, some VFX people on big productions are already doing this". Which doesn't really...
