  • 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....

Bjorn,


Wouldn't that Loupe get in the way of any V-mount or Gold-Mount battery plate solution for the Komodo. Maybe it could have an adjustable viewfinder that allows for it to be locked in an tilted upright position away from any battery plate. And, you could use you phone to control the camera's functions with the Red remote App so you wouldn't have to remove the loupe everytime you needed to make settings changes on the built-in screen, but then wouldn't you have to make sure you phone was powered for as long as the camera's on-board battery lasted.

Edit,


You could modify the viewfinder and have the loupe have a some type of hinge(Black line) to flip it to the left or right so that you could make settings changes on the built-in screen, then flip it back again.

If using it as a viewfinder camera then to me 2 small canon batteries would work really well. Dont want s big v lock back there as it would get heavy and also up in the face. With the phone in the case infront yiu dont really need the onboard monitor for adjusting settings its actally easier on the phone. And then yes its also easy to make it with a hinch so it flipps to the sideso one can touch the screen.

I think best to keep the viewfinder with 45 deg mirror so one can look forward,nice to be able to look also with the other ete and not looking down while filming... but yes then the iphone screen is a bit in the way so inportant also to be able to use the camera with only the loupe / no iphone.

I think for most times the iphone and onboard screen works well but when really bright a loupe is great.

Thanks for helping me better understand your reasoning behind your design. As you stated, if you will be using the Komodo with this, you probably would want to use the Canon 955 and 975 batteries instead of any V or Gold mount battery plate solution.

I hate that they chose to use so much diffusion in this video but some scenes look really good

This video is informative but he should have used the IPP2 Output Transform luts to get better results for the Komodo.

Poeple have to understand that if 800 iso is the "base" expo and if they lower this iso sentting, even if it's raw, they WILL overexpose the footage in some situations and clip the highlights.

RED should prohibit the camera ISO settings to go lower than the official base iso. If they want to change the brightness of the picture the operator would have to change it by a using a Lut or another setting in camera, not the Iso value because the camera isn't able to shoot and record an usuable picture at that value (50 iso is like overexposing 4 stops and clipping will occure close to 50% of the waveform in a REC709 space.)

Nice to see some AF test.

I'm supprised that my Sony A7s3 performs better than the C70, Canon having one of the best AF system in the industry. I was positively surprised of the Komodo AF performances wich are in par with the Canon C70 ones (if all settings where right for the Canon).
 
Patrick,

I think this last update made all the difference. Who knows how good it could become.
 
RED KOMODO - LOGO ANIMATIONS


By
Fabian Bosman




"While I'm waiting to receive my Komodo, I made some small animations of the RED Komodo logo and the RED logo. They are exported in 5K resolution with alpha channel (also 1080p resolution included). You can use them for free.

You can download it in two ways. Just download it through the website, or via a torrent client (you can find the torrent in the download link)

You can credit me, I appreciate that :)"

1080p + Torrent File

For the Mega.Nz site you might want to limit your download to one or two of the 5K files. Attempting to download more than two I think could put you over the daily download limit and kick you out of downloading anything for a few hours or until tomorrow, unless you pay for a subscription.

EDIT:

The drawing of either the 1080p or 5K Komodo Skull to completion doesn't look good in the Davinci Wide Gamut Preset In Davinci Resolve. It Looks Hazy in ACEScct. Davinci Resolve Color Managed with IPP2 and With "Davinci" Input DRT and Output DRT look fine

I changed the Komodo Skull from Gold and White/Gray to Red and White/Gray. I don't know if that is okay with Red if not I will just revert back to the Gold and White/Gray if it is the official trademark colors.

Any word on image flip/flop for the onbard screen? Just a rough sketch for now but you get the idea. A rubbery loupe with adjustable focus in the back and a 45 deg mirror in the front.

But how are you going to make it work just with a 45deg mirror? Does the Komodo have a built-in LCD flip function? Because, otherwise, it's going to have a flipped image in the result (you can observe it using your phone screen and a handheld mirror).

That's exactly why all slr cams had prism built-in instead of just a mirror.
 
I wanna wish you all a Merry Xmas.. Enjoy with your loved ones and many blessings to all the RED family...

Cheers!
