Anyone know if the GDU replacement handles will work with the red shipped handle that has an integrated button?

Thanks!!!

Yes, it will fit... I test fit them the other day with my Teradek thumbwheel adapter and it worked fine. The stock outrigger handle has 2 metal pins on the bottom half of the handle to prevent twist... The GDU handle has the holes for the pins, but does not include them.
 
New cage and handles from Zacuto,
"The RED Komodo cage is a very modular design. You can use each part individually or in any combination. It has a top plate, two sides and a bottom.
The top plate has integrated Z-Rail (NATO rail) for quick mounting rail based top handles, arms, monitor mounts, etc. It has a flush top for mounting other accessories across it plus 1/4" 20 and Arri style 3/8" 16 threaded holes on top and sides. There is also a provision for mounting two 15mm rod locks for rods to support focus motors and other top mounted rod accessories
The two independent side rails are Z-Rails (NATO) featuring two Arri M6 rosettes top and bottom and an Arri 3/8 16 tapped hole. 3 types of mounting styles.
The bottom plate has an integrated Arca Swiss style locking wedge, an integrated and adjustable 1/4" 20 screw support for lens adaptors and 1/4" 20 threaded holes on the sides.
The cage protects the corners of the camera body. It is very ergonomical and low profile. Super light weight from use of aircraft aluminum."

I don’t know about that zacuto cage... it looks like someone whipped it together in the back shed in 1987.

Well... MOST of Zacuto's stuff looks like that. It may be functional (and expensive), but 'it ain't pretty'. All of their stuff has an Erector Set vibe. Their pan arm adapter that I bought a decade or so ago for my MicroForce is super adjustable, but it looks like I put it together out of spare pieces I found laying around in the bottom of someones camera bag.
 
Thanks ! No, you’re right, in that configuration you rather want to tuck it against your chest or shoulder. It’s really not long enough to rest on it. For a proper shoulder rig you’ll want to add that pair of LWS 15mm rods and a shoulder pad.
Totally agree on those cables ! Except perhaps for a shoulder rig configuration, where a longer cable might be a great way of having the battery on or behind your shoulder to offset the weight of the camera. Otherwise, I think the ticket might be just learning to solder or ordering some custom length cables once you got your rig finely tuned the way you like.
 
For those of you, who have an old medium format camera and want to use Komodo with the old viewfinders to shoot at waist height,
ViperGears made an adapter plate. Take a closer look here, if you're interested: https://www.instagram.com/vipergears/

Produced in limited quantities. I think the insta post is a couple of days old, but I thought it's worth mentioning this accessory here as well, since there are some RedUsers who want to use these old viewfinders with Komodo.

that's really cool
 
Hi folks,

Does anyone knows if there's or will be an XLR audio input module for Komodo?

Thank you!
 
Hey,
im a bit confused on Komodo card reader as on the page it says: The RED® CFast 2.0 Card Reader is designed exclusively for offloading data from RED PRO CFast 512GB media to your workstation.
Does this mean it wont work with other cards? And isnt this AngelBird reader? It costs 30-40usd less in Europe as they are form Europe so I guessing its better to order it here. Cards cost more, but you get free engraving at AngelBird which is cool :)
Thanks for explenations.
 
Does anyone already have a favorite top handle for the Komodo? The camera is somewhat unique in that primary the control interface is on top. Personally, I'd love a top handle that supports a lot of different configurations and is easily removable (e.g. nato clamp base), and there are a lot of different options.

And what I'd really love would be a forward-facing dual rod mount-- would love to be able to throw a manual follow focus on the Komodo without bulking it up with a rod mount base. The only one I know is the Arri for DSMC2, but not sure if that's well suited in most other ways...
