Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)
The preset menu for the Komodo OG is nice, but, it really doesn't reduce the number of button presses needed in order to select a preset. It would be really nice if another option was available in the "FUNCTION" button that selected assigning specific presets to the top buttons on the Komodo.
I've had an Atomos Sumo 19 4k Monitor/Recorder sitting on the shelf and need to sell it. It will also accept four SDI inputs and allow real time switching.
I'm including the battery batwing with 2 goldmount battery plates. Asking $1500 US.
A bit off-topic, but, perhaps other Komodo users can chime in. I'm looking at a SmallHD monitor to use outdoors in direct sunlight. Seems most people are using a Cine7 which has a screen brightness of 1800 nits. SmallHD also has a smaller 5inch screen on the Ultra5, that goes to 3000 nits. The...
There's been multiple web videos posted dealing with proper techniques for exposing a Komodo. Additionally, RED has published a document describing their recommended procedure... https://www.red.com/red-101/iso-speed-revisited et al.
My question regards shooting, specifically, in RAW.

While going over the Lift, Gamma, Gain forum, I stumbled across this reference of interest.

This guy, Kaur Hendriksen, has written a few interesting dctl's, not the least of which is a false color dctl, for Resolve, that defines colors based on f/stops. I've found...

Consider this a formal feature request to be included on the Komodo ...Panasonic Varicam is now implementing Ed Lachman's EL Zone System . This is an extremely practical false color system using f/stops as steps....

What's up with Red CineX on the MacBook M1 Max? I'm running v55.0 on my new MacBook M1 Max. When I playback footage from the Komodo, I get tons of artifacting in the form of small horizontal hash lines that look like video noise. Disabling GPU processing makes the problem go away. Playing the...
Thought I'd post my experiences with a DZOFILM Pictor 20-55. First, positive, I'll make a note of the exceptional images, appearing to my eye as very "creamy". Loving the images the Pictor produces.
Second, just informational, I've worked with different Canon EF-RF adapters and have noted...
As nice as my new Komodo is, I'm lamenting the way I have to set the aperture when the only monitor I have is the on-camera screen. (I don't always want to carry an external monitor or ad hoc iPhone) As soon as I tap the aperture button, the aperture slider appears; and covers the goal posts and...
I've been looking around for a good parfocal, zoom lens to support my documentaries and training videos. There's a ton of reviews around on each of my options, but, they all have positives and negatives. An overriding limitation is that the cost needs to be under $5K.
In no particular order...
