  • 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....

I have a Micro rig I take to set with me sometimes just to have available. Entire kit with 2 zooms, full ND set and extra batteries fits inside a small photography bag. Love that little guy.

Komodo would allow that kit to be future proof, 1080P is getting soft as an acquisition format. Still cuts in with dragon footage but matching can be a chore.

This is the UHD version(over 6g SDI), we use them as top camera's in our newsstudio.

THIS! #50hz

Haha yep! Fine with me - 100fps for the non 24fps people.

I would love to see them use Sony NP-F batteries. Can go small if need be or get the Hawk-Woods variants for close to 100wh - hopefully that would last 4-5 hours on a smaller camera.
 
Not sure if doable, but NP-F style batteries would be a pretty rad choice!
 
I'd be fine with S35 4K, 2:1, 50p capable, TC, SDI, 33^3 LUT support and a red button.
 
Can only presume that the specs take aim at the Z-Cam E2-F8, seeing as that is capable of 8K from a full frame CMOS sensor and can record raw and 10bit H265. Releasing something that gives VR productions a chance to use more than 6 reds at once would be a very sensible move and required ASAP.
 
I think the Z-Cam E2 would be the minimum specs to target. And it better be a whole lot more capable seeing how the Z-Cam is less than half the price of Komodo. So I would expect RED to be offering something a lot more capable and compelling. Can’t wait to see what all it does.
 
I'm guessing 5k m43 (sensor size, not mount... looks to be RF mount), and regular full-strength redcode ("redcode lite" seems more of a hold-over from when it was a Hydrogen module first/foremost and Komodo is now directly under the RED umbrella.)

Selling a M43 camera for $5k would be a feat of RED caliber. If anybody can pull that off RED can!!!

For better or worse, the mount isn't Micro 4/3. Sadly, it's not Sony E either.

I mostly agree with this: "Low-light performance has been solved. We don’t need a camera that can see in the dark at 1,200,000 ISO. That’s just a marketing gimmick and it’s stupid." But if you can get a clean ISO 1M with 16 stops of DR, you wouldn't say no. :-)
 
Okay wait a minute. I did some more investigative journalism (aka web surfing) and I now come to the conclusion that... the mount is superficially RF, but the placement of the front of the gate doesn't quite match. The flanges and their relationship to the contacts also don't quite match. But the seventh contact (from left) does meet up with the left tip of the lowest flange. So this could be a Frankenstein mount as far as we're concerned right now.

You're not going to make it as a detective anytime soon :)
 
Is it possible to use Leica M Lenses on this RF mount camera?

It is possible to get a simple Canon RF-Mount to Leica M-Mount, if that is what it ends up being here.
