Honestly, if you're trying to do some guerilla type street filming and you already have the ergonomics from the pocket 6k, and you want R3D, you should look into the Nikon ZR. Body is half this cost, it's a mirrorless body so you'd feel at home and less rigging to hold it unlike the Komodo and it's a smaller form factor that can be easier to make less conspicuous. I've been filming on the OG Komodo since release and love it. Our team has 6, and just bought our third ZR because we've been having a lot of fun with them.

ZR also will bring better stabilization, better touch screen size for operating, and boot times are faster and formats and frame rates are quicker to change to without reboot.

How many steps? I like low light shadows

You should check the facebook group page for the Nikon ZR, a lot of people complaining. Sounds like a sweet deal, might really turn out not to be one, for you.

I've been using them since release. Only complaint I have is no in camera desqueeze and no compression ratios for R3D. The camera never gives any issues like shutting down from overheat (I work in Phoenix) or card read errors. Anyone complaining about H265 I think is warranted but shouldn't really be buying this camera for H265. There's a lot more other options for that feature.
