  • 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 :)

KOMODO....

Sounds really promising, like the perfect B cam for my Scarlet-W:

-Easier to use in smaller gimbals
-Carry it always with you in your backpack
-Hopefully easy to match with Dragon sensors
-And, fingers crossed, with the new accelerated workflow in Apple Metal machines from September.

I would love to use it in my ultra-low budget productions.
 
Guys... he didn’t say that it doesn’t have a Mysterium sensor!

So... you’re saying there’s a chance!

The word Komodo comes before the word dragon. So obviously it’s a sensor from before Dragon, and they chose to use Mysterium for ecology reasons, have a lower carbon footprint affecting wildlife by using a stockpile of already manufactured parts - one of the best sensors of the last 15 years...Mysterium. Komodo is also an animal, so you know it will be a beast, and it will run cool because lizards are cold blooded.

Komodo is an anagram for Doom OK, so that means it should have gaming features capable of playing DOOM OK. It’s also an anagram for OK Mood, so there are positive mental health benefits of using it, leaving us in an OK Mood.

The memory card slot is Fast, C ? So we can be certain it will record at a high data rate.

Also, Komodo dragons have two eyes, so by connecting two Komodos to a brain, one should be able to do 2 camera stitched RR (Reptilian Reality) capture with random angular interocular interval.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Dan drank ALL the Komodo-aid. lol.

Actually the mysterium thing ...? The Dragon name is an odd decision... Hopefully it makes sense in the product line....
 
This was supposed to be a year of saving money, and now this. You guys get me every time ;) Looking forward to getting my hands on this for personal and lower budget trips.
 
if it is a gimbal oriented camera, please have some kind of useful autofocus/face detection/tracking like Sony and Canon...
 
Give me three...have 3 hydrogens...and they have 3.5 mic Jack...perfect for tentacles...will use them as additional cams for lve shows....GIMME GIMME GIMME

The "auto focus is worse than useless for motion work" orthodoxy may have finally met it's match in ever more sophisticated AI applications. For some narrative work, there is no substitute for a human focus puller's ability to add meaning to a scene. That said, in the vast majority of production scenarios reliable tracking auto focus would rock.

So I remember way back when Jarred was talking about the streamline process for DSMC2 and how it would make some things more expensive and other things less expensive, but would open RED to a higher order of production bringing total costs down for owners. He mentioned things like how much wafer was wasted producing Monstro sensors and other production cases that could be solved by growth. I wonder if this is something that fits within the constraints of mass market leverage based on ownership of the Hydrogen (which is probably the most common current-tech red camera in the wild.
 
I hope it has the latest USB-C hardware and supports USB charging. Being able to use the camera as a "high-speed card reader" would make off-loading footage and charging batteries easy for mobile users and it would let you keep the CFast media in the camera, reducing the wear and tear on the cards and interface slot.
 
Hehehe Gemini sensor got added to the "no" list since I saw this last night... MYSTERIUM RETURNS. I mean hey, this thing could be a pocket RED ONE. Mini SDI! Although USB-C would be preferred... Maybe. Still love locking connectors. But mini SDI has a history in the red product line.

Take all the old sensor blocks on trade in, recertify, plug them into new boards with better processing power based on the learnings of the past 12 years and there you go... New life from an old sensor with a new driver.

Anyone remember Jim's RAW-Lite remarks from the Red Studios Hydrogen event?

This is all wild speculation, but I would be very amused.

Agreed. BTW, does anyone know how many mating cycles CFast cards are designed for? MBTF? Not trying to throw shade, just asking.

I know I'm not the only one here who has seen Komodo Dragons in person, but I'm having a chuckle that they are on the big side of lizards and this is certainly the smallest RED camera to date. I can rig a limited shooting package on a DSMC2 brain down to < 6lbs, but it's still a chunk of camera in terms of physical size. This little guy can be used in some new ways for sure, that's exciting stuff actually. Reading between the lines of the various posts from Jim and Jarred, I'm betting part of the reason to go against the original camera module concept was to potentially do more in more meaningful ways to filmmakers without being a bit hindered by the other body type. This new form factor actually seems like something you can even build on in the future too and a bit more practical for actually rigging/kitting it out.
 
I think it's a weaponized ZCam E2 (form factor)
 
It definitely looks like an APS-C sensor, 4.5K 120p...maybe even the Raven sensor, though it was called "Dragon". Sustained CFast 2.0 speeds top out at about 130 MB/s, so the resolution cannot be higher than 5K without heavy compression, or a 60p frame rate limit.

You take out the media bay and the fans, you get a 4" cube that can take a monitor on top and modules at the back. Wireless integration with H1 or H2?

And Raven cost $6,000, body only. Komodo obviously can't step on the toes of Dragon-X, or can it?
