Hey everyone - so I've decided the RED Komodo just.. isn't for me.
I love the image it creates, the 6k is something else. But after just a few weeks, I've learned the type of media I create for Youtube is just simply is outside of what the Komodo should be used for. So, if someone wants to buy a brand new fully loaded kit and avoid the waiting period, here's my proposal:
My kit:
RED Komodo: $6000
RED Outrigger: $475
RED 3’ Dtap power: $100
8Sinn cage w/ Top late + Black Raven handle: $209
Prograde Cfast 2.0/SD reader: $79
Blackmagic SDI to HDMI: $59
Hollyland 400s Pro SDI/HDMI wireless T/X kit: $649
GDU monitor mount: $79
SmallHD Indie7 w/ Red control: $1399
Silicon Power 512 cfast card: $279
Angelbird 256 cfast x2: $559
B&H cart total, before tax: $10,083
+GDU Side arm for Komodo (not on B&H): $165
Total, before tax: $10,248
What I want..:
Sony FX6: $5998
Sony A7S3: $3498
Prograde CFExpress A reader: $79
Sony Tough CFExpress A 80gb x2: $396
Sigma 35mm 1.4 art: $799
Cart total, before tax: $10,770
Price diff: $522
I suppose the price diff of $522 could be seen as the "avoid the waiting period tax." I'm willing to hand over the Komodo kit as soon as an order is placed with my shipping info, doesn't need to be "kit in hand." I also don't even care if used gear is acquired for trade and you save the difference.. so long as it isn't stolen. I would prefer to work with someone local (I'm in Santa Clarita.. so anywhere somewhat near Los Angeles).
If this isn't allowed on this forum, totally understand. I just thought I would offer, I see people scalping / ebaying the body for $1500+ beyond retail, and figured this was more reasonable.
