Im afraid of getting the Komodo but i really reaaally like it, it has aged so well so far 16 stops, R3D Raw and great form factor. The Kx is another win. Im currently shooting on an Xh2s Fuji which also shoots 6k, 14bit readout amazing colour science.

I’ve never used Fuji for video but I’ve been seeming some good stuff from them! I love their photo camera tho! If you’re interested in the R3D and can afford it and also afford the slow downs it’s always worth trying something new!

@@IvenChaqueco The Fuji Xh2s is a pretty good hybrid Video pro-res internal at 422 & HQ. Yes it would be a gem to mess with R3D but in due time because getting there is an entire investment journey.

The issue is that you are comparing a true cinema camera to hybrids. Anything that involves cinema is relatively expensive. Plus it usually involves a team. Cameras like the Komodo are for 15k budgets and up. Maybe 10k, but the budgets can go all the way up to the millions. Remember, the Komodo was made to compete against the GoPro. It’s was specifically requested from Netflix. It’s a cine crash cam so it’s on the cheaper side of the cinema cameras.

That is correct!

I really like having V mount as well as a couple of normal batteries. I like not worrying about issues of overheating like other cams. Pretty much infinite wireless power. A hand full of memory cards. Having a bunch of ipad, phones to monitor with the apps. Awesomeness. ACES in davinci. Love the global shutter for stabilised stuff as well. R3D HQ fx and LQ for general. Blackshading does not have to be done every time you use the camera fyi. Love being able to break the cam down to travel as well as fit in tiny spaces.

Batteries are definitely one of my favorite things! And I love the wireless monitor app when it works. Sometimes it’s amazing and sometimes it’s unusable it’s weird. And gotcha, I usually just black shade it before I start recording for the day! Size is pretty nice!

@IvenChaqueco typically there will be no need unless you are shooting in a vastly different temperature location/climate with for example very different humidity. You mentioned you shoot the same content for that client for example. There would be no need to do it again for that location if it hasn't changed much. Do an experiment for yourself and see. The vast majority of issues I have seen with komodo footage is jus poooorly exposed and poor use LUTs. Remember that R3D files are not denoised and not sharpened. If you expose properly (stoplight 🚦 not lighting up on the left of screen and not on much on right) then you will not have noisy images and even if you decide to put up your iso to 900+ images will look fine and you can use resolve to de-noise to taste. Oh and change your live quality to see a stream improvement. Or change channel.

How does the Komodo footage compare to the FX3 footage?

@IvenChaqueco

In a professional environment I think they are very similar. In harsh conditions (like outside run & gun) R3D can be more helpful since it can be pushed around more. Just depends both really really good!

I did actually! Pro Res files aren’t much or any smaller than R3D in ELQ 😬 So I will keep using R3D files for now

There is NO RED TAX or extra cost when owning a Komodo. It used to be very expensive to own a RED camera but that's not true today. Not sure why you repeated the Red Tax statement. The cage, side handles, etc do not cost more compared to other cameras. You are correct about the CFexpress cards. You can record to SD drives. It works and look it up. You are also correct about R3D files, they are crazy. R3D 16bit is night and day better than the Pro Res options so do your test and see if the drop in image quality is acceptable. It would be good for you to use the exposure and false color options on the Komodo. No don't get a skin for that Storm Trooper.

Sounds like a lot of whining. Whenever you go from hybrid to cinema camera, there is always some learning curves. My FS5 also required black shading, it really is no big deal. Both Sony and ARRI have issues with the SDI port, ARRI also wrote a white paper on SDI protocols. You buy a RED for access to R3D files, no other camera company makes something comparable. The FX3 and FX30 are not cinema cameras, they are hybrids acting like a cinema camera, they barely got shutter angle recently. The only advantage the Sony and Canon had over RED was autofocus, but now with the DJI Focus Pro, that is no longer an issue. If you really pay attention to proper exposure, it is really easy to turn around RED R3D files. You need proxies, because either you do not have a M1/2/3/4 MacBook or a super slow disk drive, the Samsung T7 works wonders.
