  • 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....

Ooooh, another juicy titbit of update!
Thanks Jarred!!!

And thanks Phil for adding it to your super extra useful tool for sensor size comparison!!!

Komodo is in my Christmas/Birthday list...
Now, to reason a bit with anyone that may be watching my expenses, I’ll be gifting me 2 x Komodos for a belated X-mas present and 2 x for my birthday!!! ;p

That's not really fair.. Sure, Hydrogen posted some specs before release that suggested the phone could do some sort of monitoring, But there was no denial from me or my team.. I was very clear as soon as the question was asked to me and RED ( camera ) that it would not and never be able to. multiple times. I never said I was testing wired options.. I think that was some h4vuser customers trying those out.

I was not going for finger pointing... Just trying to get clear what H1 is to Komodo. There were folks here that I’ll call affiliates testing cables well into it... but I’ll not worry about that.... I’d just like to be 100 with what H1 will do with Komodo, I feel like at this point we should be able to stand on what it is and what it’s not. I think the issue with H1 has been messaging and who that is coming from, those gray areas or people with close ties making claims of functionality. So as I understand it H1 will never be a DSMC2 monitor, what specifically will H1 do with Komodo, that no other phone will? Going through this thread has it up up down down LR LR B A start. I’m not casting stones just trying to figure out how Komodo comes together for me.

Thanks

Komodo FF corresponds to the full screen resolution aspect ratio of 2k/4k DCI format projectors.

Yes, I know (duuuuuh).
Just sharing to say that if it was 2:1, I would be fine with it.
 
A lot of great news lately!
So for us that know we will be ordering one, it would be nice to get some info on how this order process will be handled.
Now I'm optimistic and checking this site every day, to see if orders are open. I do own a H-1 and ordered 6 min after the H-1 release, and I'm aware there will be some waiting for Komodo.

Is it possible to make some sort of emailing list? Will RED maybe use my original H-1 order timestamp?

O no I totally get the confusion and the uncertainty.. Hydrogen had completely separate marketing, user forums, development and engineering teams from myself and RED camera but it still was under the RED banner and to most of you it just all looked like we were all the same . Outside of Jim's direct words there was a lot of "fill in the blanks" that happened and I totally understand how you are having a hard time understanding what the H path looks like.

The reality is that shortly after we changed Komodo to add the pins on the top for the Hydrogen, I also made the decision for those pins to support other phones as well ( luckily ) . We still have lots of work to do on that front... so we don't know exactly what features those pins will end up looking like, but the chances that the Hydrogen doing anything " special " that another phone does, at least at launch, is very slim now that the Hydrogen program is no longer.

Good news is that the capability of those pins gives a tremendous amount of opportunity in the future , not just for us but 3rd parties, But right now the majority of our engineers are focused on Komodo working as the best CAMERA possible... the rest , and I know the rest is important to you and a lot of others, is just honestly secondary... at least at this time.

Not sure if that helps you at all.
 
Hey, I'm new to autofocus, and the DPAF on Komodo doesn't ring any bells to me.

Right now, besides S-W and Monstro, I have a Nikon Z6, and the AF just works every time.
Can we expect something as good for Komodo ?

Will you design additional version ? Like one with Z Mount ?
 
Some tasty details on sensor size - thanks for the update
 
Dear KomodoKlaus,
Please take my money this tax season so I don't spend it on a Zaxcom Nova instead. I've been pretty good all year.
Thank you,
Sean
 
I can't wait to get a Komodo!!!!

so excited for this!!
 
Jarred, I got my Canon EF adapter today for my eventual Komodo... now all I need is the Komodo... ;)
I've been a good boy all year, so I'm hoping to at least be able to put some money down towards it before Christmas (I mean, I put my money down on the H1 Ti and waited more than a year for that to come... not forgetting the months and months for Scarlet, Helium update, Dragon update, Epic update, MG update, MX sensor on the RED One even...).
Will we be able to plunk down at least a deposit by year's end?

Got it, that was what I needed to hear from the horse’s mouth.

Thank you

I wish! I've also got a Z6 and would switch from it to Komodo if there was a Z mount option so that I could use that sweet Z glass I invested in. I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen, like 99.99% sure that won't happen. So we'll have to wait for that Prores RAW update (funny enough, not in camera now because RED won the lawsuit) to get something that's even remotely comparable. AF on this thing has me really intrigued though.
 
I ve been a little offline and catching up. I have not seen yet any Dynamic Range talks about Komodo...

I wonder if it ll be the same 16.5 Stops or less...

I know Jarred and the RED Team are gonna impress us all...

I am excited, waiting with all the patience in the world...

Cheers!

:hurray:

I must have missed this clarification. Can anyone point it out to me? Seems like it's important since Hydrogen users were still asking up till a few weeks ago when/if DSMC2 monitoring was going to happen and nobody at Red Hydrogen ever admitted it was not in the pipeline.
