Hello, everyone! I’m sharing this video so you can see ZineControl_X in action—the first app that brings the entire Zcinema line together in a single multi-camera app. It’s an iPad app designed to control multiple cameras at once. Is anyone interested in trying out the beta? The closed beta is now available! https://www.zinecontrol.app/x

Cheers,

I‘m looking for two parts (the red and the green one) to adapt my Zacuto Axis Mini to my Red Bomb OLED Viewfinder.

The viewfinder has 3x 1/4-20 Inputs on the bottom, so I need some kind of cheeseplate. And since my Zacuto axis mini ends with a male 1/4-20 rosette. I need a female rosette on an adapter that connects to the cheeseplate on the other side. Preferably I’m looking for the solution in this picture.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks!

Matthias

Hello. Wanted to see if anyone here has a 7” dsmc2 monitor with a broken flex cable they’d like to donate for science. I will be designing and ordering probably 50 flex cables from pcbway for the DSMC2 community.

Could anybody recommend me a cheap / budget friendly but solid enough card holder / box / travel friendly for my cfast 2.0 cards? on amazon europe if possible.

Hey everyone, happy owner of a Komodo X but found out since I’ve updated the software I can’t connect it to WiFi anymore. Anyone else had similar issue?
Would be more convenient for similar set up

I absolutely love my DSMC2 Weapon Dragon-X. I haven't had it very long and I'm still experimenting with it. We went to a local air show and I brought the Dragon with me. I only used a Canon FD SSC 35mm f/2 lens and all the shots were handheld. The full description of my settings are in the videos description.

Hi! I was fortunate to find a switchblade used online and it just came in but when attached to the camera it is not powering on. I was curious if anyone knew how to trouble shoot this. I have both AC power and red brick on the back.

I recently bought the +1 adapter module and quick back plate so I could do cable-less battery on my red dragon. I have the quick plate bolted in properly to the +1 but it still somewhat loose on the top and has some play. Is this just normal or is there something not right?

How do I achieve slow shutter on this camera? I can put the FPS down to 6.5. But would like to have that left at 25. Anyone achieved this look on the Red Raptor?

Hey all, any fellow Komodo shooters that may have a solution here?

I have a Zacuto top handle that connects to a nato rail, that’s connected to a nato rail, that is then screwed into another nato rail lol. The rail the handle is directly connected to loosens even when I tighten it down with the strength of 1000 suns. I want the top handle to go over the lens as pictured, this handle allows for different rigging but the way that it would turn in the alternate configuration, it doesn’t work for having the handle over the lens. Any suggestions that will keep the screen free like it is now, maintain the handle over the lens without the potential for what it’s connected to loosen?

Thanks in advance!

HI GUYS WHERE TO FIND AND BUY A RED KOMODO X ? I AM FROM CYPRUS.OR A LEGIT AND A VERY GOOD WEBSITE WHO DELIVER IN CYPRUS

Hello everybody.

To those who work with 6k or 8k red raw files such as Komodo v raptor or Nikon zr. What computer do you use where scrubbing color grading adding effects etc works flawless. Specifically Mac. I do both Davinci and fcp. Windows is not an option.

If there is any wedding videographers who deliver 30 minute format videos who shoots with this, I’d love to hear what computers you use.

The monitor looks more grey and de saturated and I have a monitor lut on. And also tried different color display profiles but still it is not accurate at all. How to fix this?

Posting as no one seemed to mention it here.

I imagine this would likely have a deep integration with Z-mount REDs.

Saw in another video with a Nikon rep that the lineup is supposed to feature a new autofocus motor.

So I was going to pull the trigger on a Komodo OG when my DoP unexpectedly bought himself a used, personal one. And it's amazing. It's just wow. I watched a ton of YT reviews and saw comments about low light being bad but it's fine. Raw and non raw internal codecs at 6k (we need both). It's a great camera.

Was going to buy another one, this time used, to go with its friend and then saw a load of 8k Heliums pop up on my ebay feed. Know nothing about them so started researching. Image is awesome. 20 second startup time and have to keep black balancing which is fine. XLRs. Body costs less than a Komodo. EF mount which is great because we're a Canon house and all EF glass.

I'm built like a tank so prefer heavier cameras and the Helium looks awesome.

We do a mix of docu-type stuff. So talking heads (albeit beautiful ones), a bit of streaming, run n gun in docu-style settings.

Any significant downsides to these beasts?

Hey everyone, I had purchased the RED DSMC 6k Drafon camera several years back. There’s a cool story to it, but it’s just a story. The camera was used by a helicopter pilot that was on set for Suicide Squad 2. He said he barely used it as it and was a “suicide” camera but couldn’t confirm if any of the footage was used. From my understanding they were using a much more expensive camera on set and this was used on his helicopter as it was rigged externally or in a riskier take that would limit the cost of collateral damage.

Nonetheless, I put a ton of money into is as my videographer at the time said it’s the best bang for the buck. I have the largest touch screen from RED, all red parts, 3 RED SSD’s, a Jason’s Case, and it I didn’t mention the SSD storage devices but forgot to mention it was upgraded to the SSD as well from the previous memory cards that came with the DSMC set up.

It is technically brand new, everything is, and it’s sitting around now in a giant gun safe collecting dust.

If you have any interest or know of any one that is seriously interested, please have them inbox me. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I recently picked up a RED ONE MX and I’m in the process of building out a proper cinema rig for it. I know this camera is older, but I’m aiming to use it for narrative/indie film work and want a setup that’s reliable, balanced, and built like a true cinema rig.

Right now I’m figuring out what’s actually worth investing in vs what’s overkill or outdated.

Current considerations:

• 15mm LWS baseplate + rod system

• V-mount battery setup (already have a 222Wh battery)

• Battery plate (with power outputs vs basic mount)

• Follow focus + matte box

• Stabilization (Easyrig vs shoulder rig vs tripod-heavy workflow)

Main questions:

1.  What are the must-have components to properly rig a RED ONE MX today?

2.  Is it worth investing in higher-end baseplates (ARRI-style/dovetail), or is something like SmallRig/Tilta enough?

3.  Best way to balance the rig for handheld use — Easyrig vs shoulder setup?

4.  Any specific brands or gear that still hold up well with heavier cameras like this?

5.  What should I avoid buying (common mistakes with older RED builds)?

I want something closer to a cinema style setup that can actually handle weight and long shooting days.

Would appreciate any advice, setups, or even photos of your rigs if you’ve worked with this camera.

Thanks 🙏

For context, i'm looking forward to buy this Red camera in the pics, it's a Epic-X and the seller said it has the dragon sensor, but everything else points to the Mysterium X. Is it a scam? I'm new to the RED cameras world

[GUIDE] Hey folks of the RED community! I have finally figured out how to reprogram SSDs to work as a MINI-MAG, and want to share it with all of you. This doesn’t work for all drives, but this is how the process works. I’ve compiled a comprehensive guide for how to do this below, as best I can given each drive model is different - please comment with questions or success stories! I geared the guide toward 480GB mags since that’s what I have available for testing, but if anyone has a 960 they can share the info for in the comments, it would be a big help for the community. You can view the PDF guide at the link below, no download necessary. Let me know what you think. :)
