What are the advantages of the komodo x over the arri alexa mini(super 35 ) ?
It looks like it fixes a lot of my gripes with the original Komodo, which is great. That said, I feel like the point of the Komodo is to be an "affordable" entry into the Red ecosystem, but this starting at $10k for just the brain, I think might be too much for a lot of people to give it a try.

I think they missed the point of what made the Komodo so popular: the price. At $6000, it meant a lot of people could afford to buy it, and the rental prices were very affordable. Fixing what was annoying about the Komodo and then charging $4000 more for it is asking too much.

Yup this. The regular komodo fits my budget and is a serious contender for what I'm looking to get. $10k for just the brain puts the komodo x as a if I won the lottery I'll buy it luxury. And we all know the price was probably more so they don't canabalise the regular komodo's value to where it would be worth less on the used market where sales for new units would be hurt.

I feel like RED realized they could reach a lot more customers by offering an entry level camera like the Komodo and think they will still sell a ton of the Komodo-X, but with a much higher profit margin.

RED will literally release a whole new camera before simply issuing a firmware update to get the current gen cameras (V-Raptor/Komodo) up to the functionality of the past gen cameras. Like... let us play our footage backwards during review. Let us loop footage. Let us change the speed of the footage. Make it so it doesn't take 10 seconds to switch from live view to playback view, etc. Fix stuff first. Then new cameras.

As an OG Komodo owner (just bought it 10 weeks ago) I’m excited. Really happy to see RED pushing the sub 10-12k market forward. I just wish there was a 5 monitor that worked with the original Komodo.
Looks like a great little upgrade. As an original Komodo user I was worried I'm already behind.. but luckily the upgrades are as I said.. little. Phew. I'm also not a fan of the Raptor look..reminds me of 8k TVs, so all in all, I've got the right one for my particular taste.
Not nearly enough of a change for me to upgrade from my current Komodo, honestly….especially for a base price point of $10,000. It’s absolutely absurd to me that they have upgraded the frame rates to a max of only 80 fps in 6k. Pretty much every single other competing camera out there starts at 120 fps at max resolution (without a crop)…and have done so for years. I love my Red’s image quality…and R3D Raw is unmatched with flexibility. But I have a lot of gripes regarding frame rate, autofocus, lack of internal ND, etc. I was really hoping that Red would have learned from the first gen and made the Komodo X more in line with what people want out of a compact camera like this at the original price point. The Komodo could have easily been the one off “affordable” model that has features more in line with what is needed for the “one man band” indie filmmaker on the go. This is not what I was hoping for. It’s a mild jump up technologically for a huge jump up in cost. No thanks. I’ll wait to see what they come up with on the Komodo III.

@@windcine2388 - yeah, I know it has a global shutter….I own a first gen Komodo. What’s the point you’re trying to make? Having a global shutter should not hinder Red’s ability to upgrade their specs to match that of competing cameras. It’s just a choice they are making. I guarantee they just don’t want the Komodo X to be “too good” otherwise it will detract from sales of their more expensive cameras. There is zero excuse for not being able to deliver 120 fps at 6K and 240fps at 4K (cropped), or even internal ND’s and an external recording option via USB-C. It’s 2023, mate…Literally zero excuse. The Black Magic 6K PCC has offered all that for years, minus the 120fps…and I can guarantee that will be on their next model. The only downside is their codecs suck in comparison to R3D. But if I had to choose between a BM 6K Mark II (or whatever it will be called) with all the original’s specs but with added 120 fps….and this, it’s the easiest decision of my life. I’d go Black Magic next time, and just keep my Red for fast moving objects and talking heads. I just think this is a very poor execution on Red’s part.

@@kevinmccarney8704 I think he’s saying your scammed in the sense that red not only had the capacity but people had told them to make certain improvements before the release of the Komodo. So at a fundamental level they have idk if you can say detuned, but they knowingly haven’t sold the optimal product just so down the future they can make more money with the next generation (aka Komodo x ) without making as much improvements in tech. They also did something similar when they released the raven initially offering it at the same price as the Komodo, and changing things upon release. They’ve also said ages ago that they would release a cinema camera for like 2k for the indie filmmakers, but they never followed through with that. As a whole red despite releasing great products has also slowed down the camera industry. They have patented compressed raw, despite not being the first ones to come up with, and have prevented access to any other company from doing similar codecs, which is why arri raw and even b raw don’t have as much efficiency or latitude, even though they have endeavoured too for a while. Dji s cinema camera had a similar raw codec, but red filed that law suit and they had to take it down. So as a whole red may not necessarily be scammy, but they are unethical and their actions have harmed the cinema technology industry as a whole. I guess he means you bought into a camera company that’s scammy and has been known to be so for a while, since they limit not only their own technology but everyone else’s. Nonetheless the first Komodo is beautiful and red has made incredible cameras, just sucks that the company hasn’t taken the best approach in terms of elevating and advancing the industry as a whole. Imagine if they allowed everyone to use a compressed raw codec like theirs. Not only would they have great cameras people would be keen on getting, but people would salute them and trust then for their innovation not only for their own company but cinema and technology as a whole. It is what it is though.

I’ve always felt that the original Komodo was intentionally detuned, and could easily achieve 6k60 and 4k120. But they didn’t want to take away the market from other existing options. Especially given competitors offering similar frame rates with lower end setups, even the raven offered 4k120 and was offered initially at a similar price point almost 7 years ago. It’s upsetting

Great review, Jake.

It seems to fix almost everything wrong with the Komodo, but it's disappointing to see it still having a single SDI port. It should have at least another SDI or HDMI for redundancy, considering the on-body screen is almost unusable for anything other than the menus, and the older SDI issues don't inspire confidence in a professional set.

I really like my Komodo and I don´t think that Komodo-X is so much better for such a big price difference. (40% 😀) It´s not already budget cinema camera for me. Now I would still prefer to buy Komodo for $6K. Komodo-X would have to cost max $6.5-7K to buy this camera.

TBH I don't think its worth the $4K extra for me personally. Yes its the same size sensor. If one were buying their first RED today, maybe. However you'd REALLY have to need 80fps at 6K. Which, TBH is REALLY slow. We'll see if the sensor is really more capable of dynamic range, low light etc, but we are going to be talking about hair splitting here. Their entire lineup is mature to the point that the level of quality from the $6,000 Komodo is more than enough to shoot any broadcast or feature film level production. Autofocus? We'll see. Face Tracking? Probably a ways off. V-mounts? Already possible. 1080p wireless - nice, but professionals are going to Teradek it anyway.

I am curious: what is more common among filmmakers - owning a Red (or similar camera), or renting?

Owning. Hard to say since so many people also rent theirs out.
Does komdo-x have ir pollution like the original komodo or does it have an ir cut?
I literally just got the budget for the Komodo and now they drop the K/X
Please tell me if I understand correctly that if the POGO connectors on the KOMODO-X are the same as on the V-RAPTOR camera AND IT MEANS you can use a monitor for the V-RAPTOR? BUT will the same monitor work with the KOMODO camera of the previous generation, if we take into account that the old KOMODO has exactly the same POGO connector? If the old COMODO has the same POGO connector, DOES THIS MEAN that you can use a monitor from V-RAPTOR with it? Thank you.

You can use the RED DSMC3 monitor on KOMODO-X and V-RAPTOR. It will not work with KOMODO. Jake

The komodo x looks the part on set, and the global shutter is a game changer for those who need it. But for 99% of people a S5iix offers a full frame sensor with 6k raw output, straight to ssd, if you put the correct LUT on, the Panasonic looks awesome for a fraction of the price. Not to mention the best ibis, and far better AF.
What about the crop factor?
KX seems pretty dope… but think about this. People already make Sony FX6 comparisons right? For slightly less than the price of 1 KX, you can buy 1 FX6 and 1FX3. That would allow you to do 2 camera setups for jobs/gigs. And since the FX3 has IBIS you can use that one for run and gun while using the FX6 for tripod/mounting solutions.
Cvp can u do how to expose in red camera videos plz
What evf mount is this?
@CVP - Correct me if Im wrong. But, Komodo had the 6K Dragon sensor. Meaning, the K-X has the 6K Dragon sensor..? As an ex-Dragon owner, Im not that impressed tbh..
I have the Kondor Blue baseplate in front of me - WON'T work. It has the same bundled up slot as the Tilta. With a bit of CNC, yeah you can make an extra slot, there's enough meat in the plate.
If this had internal ND I would have jumped on it.
I think my eyes are back on the Vraptor again... coming from a GEMINI this is cool but I think the Vraptor is still the move.
I don't care about frame rates at all. I feel like it's exactly the same in the highlights. There's a solid stop more in the shadows and it gets rid of the nasty green tint in favor of a much-less distracting gentle magenta tint, but I prefer the cool shadows overall. I think the stop of range in the shadows probably goes down to about half if you downscale to 4k and then add some really good noise reduction like NeatVideo. You still need to correct out the green from shadows in underexposed areas but I'm used to this. Overall, not enough to justify the $4000 price increase for me. Definitely would be if I used the Komodo for slow motion for anything, but I have other cams that do slow mo better.

You're claiming solid stop improvement in shadows while red made it clear it was about half a stop. Not sure how you arrived at your conclusion.

all cameras are able to deliver fantastic images now, what's make the difference is optics and lightning

Please compare the Komodo-X to the F6 Pro
We are at a point in camera tech that everything is homogeneous. Put the same great lens on this and an fx3, and less than 1% of viewers could tell the difference. Unless it’s low light, then everyone would know the fx3
Still holding out for a DSMC3 version of the Gemini.... this is a bit meh and probably should just have been Komodo v.2 at $6K or $7k
Does it have ND filter built in ?

I love Red and own several myself. If you don't have a Komodo this is a great opportunity to jump in to the ecosystem. That being said, if you already own an OG Komodo and/or other models, there's really no reason to drop $10K on this.
They are almost on par with the URSA 12k
Is it worth the extra money over the original red Komodo ?
