  • 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 :)

It's good to hear that. They make things with lenses precision.
I hope its not this https://www.amazon.com/SMALLRIG-Adapter-Support-Metabones-Compatible/dp/B07KXVBBN3/ref=sr_1_46?keywords=SMALLRIG&qid=1575628867&sr=8-46
Maybe this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1076926-REG/wooden_camera_wc_175900_pl_mount_for_red.html
OR much better like this https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1433390-REG/red_digital_cinema_725_0044_dsmc_s35_al_pl.html
I know they think out of box and will come up with something interesting.

The lens mount on the camera side is fixed. So the bottom two are impossible.

Unless their solution involves modifying the existing mount, you will have to somehow secure the adapter/Revolva to your cage, bottom plate, or rails. Googling "metabones support" on Google images will show you the various ways people have solved this issue for small cameras with fixed, non-locking, lens mounts. I don't know what to tell you but it's going to have to be much more like example 1 than you want.

This is not even funny. Everybody who spent more than half an hour on this thread knows that. .
Point in the examples is what how you perceive professional gear, first or the third one. What for ? Because I read that this is very special camera, with unrivaled quality to the same sized cameras. Robin to Batman or better to say your sidekick camera. Sometimes Robin goes first number.
Good for big and small, but MOSTLY big. Don't you want that this will set example for others and not the other way around, and not only inside camera but also outside.
Nobody saying no to go RF mount, just somebody sees good for the over all in PL mount also, especially in rentals.
WHY is that? AS owner operator you can look after your gear even if it is not fool proof, but not in rentals. I've seen countless times when somebody takes a7S in a cage, with adapter, and PL set like standart primes for the gimbal. Guess what they do first, they take off the cage. In three days, its why image is shifting, or one side out of focus, or HDMI port doesn't work.
One or Two ?
Just think if Epic or Mini would come only with possibility for some Chinese mount good or bad, cheap or expensive. Every time you would take a camera it would be a gamble.

Would there be enough space to make an RF to Red mount adapter? RF on one side, flat plate with threads for DSMC lens mount screws on the other. Pass through for electronics.

Don't think so. BUT a chance to buy PL mounted camera is a good option if you want one.
 
Would be interesting if Kippertie can incorporate the Revolva into their own PL to RF adapter. It might limit choice of PL lenses due to rear element depth behind the flange though.
 
Hey Jarred, any chance that since Komodo will have a built in RF mount we'll get expanded Canon functionality? I'm thinking very specifically of features like Start/Stop with the Canon 18-80 side grip.
Thanks!
 
Will there be a possibility of a RF to PL mount that transfers lens data and can control internal PL lens focus? That would be superb together with autofocus. Not sure if there are PL lenses with internal motors today but maybe there's some company putting that idea into reality soon.

I told everyone that I wouldn't reveal Komodo until it was ready.. There still is a bunch of time before the first batch starts shipping towards the end of the year and everything can and probably will change.

Sorry for quoting your first post Jarred.. But the end of the year is closer than ever. Any possibilities to give us an updated timeline?
Just got my RF lenses and Cfast cards - I'm ready to order/pre-order.
What info will RED need regards to our Hydrogen One order? Serial and Name is sufficient?

Yes. It is time. Would love to pre-order in 2019 and get a general release date for early 2020 shooting plans.
 
It would be pretty awesome if this screen could somehow become a flip-screen.

Actually, I'm pretty sure something based on mirrors could be used for that. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty confident some kind of viewfinder working on that principle exist for the infamous Mamiya Medium Format camera that Jarred loves so much (I used it in cinema school it was a bast) and that obviously influenced Komodo's design.

I had thought the same thing but isn't that touch screen. not sure the work around that, i guess this is where the hydrogen or smart device comes into play.

I had the same thought initially if you dig way back in the thread before I physically saw Komodo, but when I saw it that sort of went away. I see it being rigid as more of a damned if you do/damned if you don't situation.

Meaning flip screens can break fairly easily, yet provide convenience as an inclusive monitoring solution. And a rigid screen fixed to the body won't have those issues ever come up, which I think is relevant for many of the uses of Komodo.

It's also fairly small, I think about 3 inches or less wide. I think they'll be somewhat flip-style small screens at the end of the day for Komodo that will still keep it really small. Obviously phones, but the smallest potential is something like a 4.5" diagonal screen, which could likely be made as wide as the Komodo body itself, integrated to flip up and down, give you about 2X the width on that display, and if designed right could potentially be a "cover" to the top of the body.

That way you have a flip screen that's "always there" for super portable work still that if you clip it on a door or something, the whole camera doesn't go down.
