Thanks Tim! Honored to have you here

Just discovered your channel and you've got a new subscriber! I, too, am in love with my Komodo, greatest camera I've ever owned. But I will be trading mine in for the X next year when I can afford it. My studio and corporate work sadly doesn't warrant 2 Komodos lol. I can get away with a mirrorless camera for my B cam. I've also got the C70, which I had been using as a B cam, and it's absolutely fantastic, but again, I just don't need it. Most of my clients can't afford the cost associated with the Komodo and C70 combined, so most 2 camera shoots I end up using the Komodo or C70 as my A cam, and my Fuji X-H2 as my B cam. Probably more exposition than you'd care for haha! But in any case, I'd love love LOVE to see a low light comparison between the Komodo and the X. Other than the lack of frame rate options, my only real issue with the Komodo was it's subpar low light capabilities. I also use the RED Control app on my iPad Mini and love it, it's the only truly reliable and fully featured wireless monitoring setup I've used for all the various cameras that I've owned over the years, and nothing beats it. Oh, and if you wouldn't mind checking out my channel and considering giving me a sub, I'd really appreciate it 🙏

Love this video. What did you use to mount the camera in those car shots? What camera did you use?

@caffeinatedcameras

Жыл бұрын

Hey Tucker! Thanks for watching. It's the small rig car mount. Comes with four suction mounts and was like $379. The camera was my komodo.

Congratulations on the new camera. As far as being better in every way. Well, it has slightly more DR and higher frame rates. But honestly, I would have traded both of those for smaller size and built in eVNDs. The OG Komodo was designed to be a crash cam… due to its size/weight it’s better suited for that purpose. I see people comparing the Komodo with V-Mount adapter and V-Mount battery to the Komodo-X size wise. Red did not make a V-mount adapter. You can always compare a fully rigged camera to a stock body and the fully rigged out camera will appear bigger. But if you compare the OG Komodo with BP-915 batteries installed, it’s way smaller and lighter than Komodo-X… which is stuck using much larger and heavier V-Mount batteries. I was disappointed when I saw the Komodo-X. In its smallest usable configuration it is considerably larger and heavier than Komodo. I’ll hold out for Komodo Mk2 which Jarred Land has already stated is in development. Hopefully Red sticks to the original concept of a small/lightweight and high quality crash cam. Imo, before I would purchase the Komodo-X I would just purchase the slightly larger Raptor 35? Better lowlight, superior highlight recovery and more I/O. Maybe I’m missing something. That said, horses for courses.

@caffeinatedcameras

Жыл бұрын

My Komodo X with a CoreNano is 3.7lbs and the Komodo with BP-955s is 3.2lbs and is exactly one inch shorter. So I wouldn’t say it’s “considerably larger and heavier” a half a pound and one inch is nothing. And that’s coming from someone who does 15mile hikes with 60lbs of gear for some shoots. And I’d gladly take the extra size and weight for the litany of improvements they’ve made in the operability of the camera. But you’re right size and weight are the only things I’ve found so far the original Komodo is better at. I also would have loved to seen Internal NDs but that would have made it much bigger. And that’s a great thing to be better at. I love them both. As far as going an s35 raptor, I didn’t because 1) even bigger still. 2) much more money. 3) I’d rather have the global shutter/sensor

@angryrabbitproductions1690

Жыл бұрын

Compare it with BP-915 batteries… they are half the size and weight of the larger BP-955 batteries. When flying on a drone ever gram counts. When you need to mount the camera is small spaces 1/2” can be a deal breaker. Why do you think Red didn’t make the OG Komodo use V-Mount in the first place? But like I said, YMMV.

@caffeinatedcameras

Жыл бұрын

@@angryrabbitproductions1690 it would be relative: if I used the 915s and the smallest Smallrig a mount it would still be the size and eight comparison. And relatively the same power output. I know it matters to an FPV pilot. That’s why there’s still an OG Komodo. Just like the OG was designed for a certain purpose, the X was designed with a different purpose.

I would love to see some comparisons with Fuji X-H2S, a MUCh cheaper camera that has a better picture than red dragon and a ton of features for 1/3 of the price or less

I personally would not agree with this sentiment. I’d say that the overall image is better on the X. It’s different since it is new and matches more closely to the raptor, but it’s not a downgrade compared to the Original Komodo

Everyone is saying the X is more A cam, but with the accessories you can already get for the Komodo It seems really the only thing you’re really paying for is higher frame rates… the “different” sensor may have a slight slight edge in the bottom dynamic range, but is all that worth and extra $4000? I’m skeptical that the the X is a noticeable difference in image quality. So… extra $4000 for highspeed.. idk

@caffeinatedcameras

Жыл бұрын

Yes you can buy external audio, you can get adapters for Vmounts… but after having those better things built in plus the frame rates the better image…but what you can’t see until you use it is how much more polished it is. It’s much faster. The screen, and the interface, how much better the app works with it, how much faster the AF is, It has essentially 3 video outs with the SDI, RMI and Usbc. As someone who has both, it (to me) doesn’t feel like I spent $4k for frame rates. It feels like I spent 4k more for a very different experience with a ton more possibility. But that’s just me. You aren’t the only skeptical one, and it’s ok to be skeptical. Both cameras are rad though.

It's super legit
