  • 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....

Great to know all of this Jarred!
So can I imagine that Komodo will cut flawlessly with any Dsmc2 camera?

In terms of color Graeme is working his magic. Komodo is a brand new sensor design.. an entirely new pixel so it is different. Just like some people say they can cut between Dragon and Monstro and Gemini and some people swear they can't... they all have their own DNA. All have their strengths and weaknesses. And yes... Komodo does shoot R3D's.

Thanks Jarred. So far Komodo is looking to be a nice companion to my Helium.

Correct.. you are not going to buy a Komodo for high framerates.

Of course, but will we at least get decent framerates? 96fps is high speed, but 50-60fps is normal for many.

Correct... I'm going to buy a bunch and use them for something you probably haven't thought of... (yes, that's a dare :001_cool:)
Komodo is really shaping up to be a very special little camera that's gonna kick ass in a few applications I have in mind...

And since we have control (and monitoring) over the Hydrogen, that opens up a whole new world of possibilities!!!:coolgleamA:

Christoffer, I think we can safely include 48fps, maybe even up to 60fps, but no more.
 
It’s very exciting that we are getting more and more details in the past week! Hopefully this is leading to see some test footage soon ;)

Thank you so much Jarred!

I know the target market isn’t necessarily for newbies, I must say, this will definitely be a jumping point from a lot of black magic users like myself. I have always found RED to be my favourite system and I think this will be a great entry point into the system other than my two hydrogens. And I think this camera will become my A cam over the ursa mini 4.6 just due to its flexibility and the fact that I have a hard on for cameras that look like waist level medium format! Maybe one day we will get a Komodo LF? ;)

Thanks again everyone at RED and here at REDuser. You have all taught me so much, even just from this thread alone. I cannot wait to officially join the family (presumable Q2 next year!)
 
My current B-Cam is the RAVEN with DSMC2 Helium as primary... I plan to get the Komodo, probably not going to need all three at this time although kind of like 8k 6k 4k. Jarred, Any reason to keep RAVEN if Komodo is in hand with high end Helium for HFR stuff? I wanted to trade it/sell for GEMINI but could not afford it right now...Have Hydrogen so sounds like I will get a discount on Komodo but will there be a another RAVEN trade opportunity? I like my little bird so may just keep it but sounds like Komodo may cover all my needs for what RAVEN gets used for anyway.

My guess is that the only advantage of Raven over Komodo as a B-cam to DSMC2 Helium is that the Raven and Helium use the same accessories and media. If you can, keep all three for a while and sell the Raven later if you find you are not using it.

I'm still waiting on full specs (max frame rates and compression - 50p at 6K 8:1 would be good enough for me, plus pre-record) and footage of course, but am thinking about replacing my 6K Weapon Magnesium with two Komodos. My back will thank me for a lighter rig, and cheaper media and longer battery life would be fantastic. And if Komodo does everything via that top connector (power in/out, camera control, monitoring, mounting) it will make for some very streamlined setups. Hopefully Red will encourage third parties to get involved in developing solutions.

Yes Colton it will be interesting to see what people like you do with Komodo. It's not a beginner camera but it definitely can be a "next step" camera. Just be prepared... this isn't an auto-everything camera. Although we do finally have PDAF on this sensor which we are pretty excited about.
 
Is there going to be the capability to genlock and sync the Komodo??

Huh!
That's interesting.
Always liked the PDAF on my 1D series, but since I started shooting on RED I moved to a remote follow-focus.
I guess now we can use either/or depending on the camera and lens setup.

Using PDAF or electronically controlled focus, can you tell yet whether focusing info on one Komodo can be communicated to another Komodo in real time?
I can guess that's where Hydrogen comes into play... ;)
