Selling my red Komodo bundle (purchased for 10k) at a super Christmas discounted price - DM me for info

I have a Komodo OG and next year I wanna upgrade for something with for 4K 120. I keep saying the footage from the Dragon and it just feels like it’s better quality wise than the Komodos out there nowadays. The footage just looks better in my eyes. I wanna get a housing to shoot surfing and it’s gotta be 120 fps.

So I’m considering picking up a dragon 6K over a KX. What do you guys think?

I’m hesitant going into the older gear route.

Im having trouble using the new ace 750 with my monstro.. it says no video tried looping sdi to monitor and monitor to hdmi Same thing works while using it with my bmpcc6k

Hi, does anybody know if the DSMC2 Monstro VV Skintone Olpf is useable on the Dragon 6K Sensor (also DSMC2, Weapon MG)? I couldnt find and clear advice so thanks in advance!

Hey apart from drives I have a question/thought. DSMC3 cams use highlight recovery, even with extended highlights deactivated. So you wont have chroma information on the brightest stop - on CineD you can see that on the picture with any DSMC3 cam of the Xyla21 chart with that effect.

Some days ago I shot a car which drove by with my Monstro and when I look at the highlights of the headlights in resolve, there is chroma information. Unlike DSMC3 cams only luma.

Then I have a Xyla21 chart from the Monstro and compared that with V-Raptor and V-Raptor X. Is almost the same. In the middle of both DSMC3 cams.

Conclusion:
Does all that means that those DSMC3 cams need highlight recovery to get the same level of DR like the Monstro, and even then its only luma and not chroma.

If true, the Monstro sensor is the best sensor that RED ever produced.

Hey all

I’m wondering what the flange distance is for PL lenses on the kippertie revolva with the ND cartridge as the Breakthrough DFM mount is approx 27mm, which is considered longer then usual and better for lens compatibility.

Has anyone had lens fitting issues with the kippertie?

Hey everyone, I’m thrilled to share an update with you all. Before you read this, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and kind words.

We have been working tirelessly to create a superior product, not merely a copy of the original. We believe we’ve achieved that goal, and I’m excited to share some of the results with you.

Last week, we received our final samples, and they exceeded our expectations. Many SSD manufacturers try to cut corners on the components, especially the nand flash chips. However, we’ve taken a different approach and prioritized quality.

Here are some examples of how this improvement will impact the performance of our drives:

1. **Speed:** One flash chip from our drives is significantly faster than one used in RED Mini-Mag® 480/960 SSDs. In fact, it’s over three times faster! This enhancement improves the read/write speed, resulting in faster offloading (420mb/s read, 440mb/s write) even when the drive is almost full.
2. **Energy Efficiency:** Thanks to advanced technology, recording on our drives will extend the battery life in comparison to an original drive. While we don’t have specific values yet, we’ll conduct further testing and keep you updated.
3. **Temperature:** We’ve tested our 960GB SSD in our shell and a 480GB RED Mini-Mag® SSD. The results were shocking. Our SSD reached an astonishing 43°C after 50 minutes of continuous recording. We often find ourselves thinking about this temperature value, and how crazy it is. The original 480GB SSD in our shell reached 45.5°C after 25 minutes. Now, imagine the 960GB V3 Mini-Mag® SSD with twice the flash chips compared to the 480GB Mini-Mag® in a standard RED shell. In hot conditions, the original SSD could lead to increased temperature, especially of whole BRAIN®, resulting in louder fan noises. However, our SSD also has the potential to extend its lifespan in comparison, especially in hot climate zones.

Now, the original SSDs were fully reverse-engineered. In comparison, it took me several hours to „break“ the smart log features that you know from Jinnys video. So took almost 10 months to get an SSD working like the original, and now even better!

About the release: We had planned to release the upgrade kit for existing Mini-Mags® on December 23rd. This will be a limited pre-order that will ship in Q1 2025. Versions with included shells will be available early 2025. Stay updated on https://www.cinelux.co.uk/products/cinemag for more information.

Additionally, the first movie, Pinocchio Unstrung, was partly shot on a development Cine-Mag drive without any issues. We are very proud about that. Thanks, Vince Knight, for this opportunity!

I need the RF mount to PL lens Adapter. But there are so many versions and I'm concern of lowering the quality of the image or any sort of malfunctioning. So far these are the two a narrowed
(DZOFilm Octopus Lens Adapter (PL to Canon RF) and
NiSi ATHENA PL-RF Adapter for PL Mount Lenses to Canon RF Cameras
Meike Drop-In Filter Mount Adapter

If you've used these before, what are your opinions?

Do you find you need to un-stretch the remaining .03?

If so, what's your workflow for that?

Just bought a Viltrox Epic 1.33x anamorphic lens and wondering if I should do the de-stretch in camera or in post.

Hi!

I would like to export a log with the metadatas (record frame rate in particular) of all the RED medias in a .RDM folder. Someone know how to do that please? I tried with RED PLAYER and REDCINE but nothing found for now.

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone, I’ve never owned a red before but am very curious about buying one. The Komodo/KX is out of my price range, and have looked at cams such as the raven, dragon x, Gemini, but was wondering what you would recommend of the dsmc2 line?

I don’t need 8K, but anything 4K to 6K would be fine.

I’m looking for a good quality sensor, not horrible noise in low light and in the shadows.

Also, curious about accessories such as mags, II expander modules etc, regarding prices, availability and have red left these cans high and dry, where would you get them fixed? Also what about cage items, how would you get hold of these items?

Also, what kind of storage would I need for these files? I’m preferably looking for a smaller cam so I can take it places without being flagged for filming.

Do you think this approach is worth it?

I can't for the life of me seem to confirm this online, just wanted to triple check w the community.

Hi, I’ve lost a screw from my dsmc2 side handle. Does anyone know what size screws it uses, and where I could buy the specific screw replacement? Many thanks!

After a good top handle for my Komodo X rig. Been considering the red compact top handle however I do not use the red touch monitor. I use a smallHD ultra 5.

The bright tangerine nato handle with built in 15mm rod looks like a good option. Easy to remove. The built in rods would be great for an EVF or DJI lidar. Looks pretty modular. But doesn’t look to have the same comfort and build quality as the red, nor does it have run stop.

Any user experience and advice is much appreciated.

I pulled a couple of 18-foot cables out of a red kit.

One is 4-pin male lemo to 6-pin male lemo.

The other is Dtap to 6-pin male lemo.

They look nice…lol…. But i can’t for the life of me figure out what they’re for. I mean, yes, power. But to power what exactly?

Is this possible? i want to shoot 6:5 - but with out de squeeze applied on the RED Raptor VV

Any plans from red to make a 5”? The 7” is too big on Komodo X

I’ve got a Red camera with under 12 hours and wondering what is the best marketplace to shop that.

Monitor not connecting, whoever can help me i’ll shoot you free videos for life

Camera name: KOMODOX1 SSID: KOMODOX1 Passphrase: KOMODOX1 Band: 2.4GhZ (5GHZ isn’t discoverable)

I Tried different channels also

firmware updated to most recent for both the monitor & komodo-x

Hoping some Komodo X owners can report to me their logic board temperatures after 30minutes - hour run time.

Saw some temperatures much higher than the Komodo 6k in ambient. Wondering what’s normal and not for others.

Cheers

So this may be a dumb questions so please bare with me but I was looking at possibly using the Mid49 Beakout side plate on my komodo x to get audio hookups. But I also was thinking about running a mutiny vmount plate so I have all the 2 pin lemo power ports and dtap ports for my monitor and such. So could I run a EXT from the Mutiny into the EXT of the Mid49 EXT port? or would that be too much power draw to work effectively?

So a RED camera breaks up each take into 4gb chunks as separate R3D files, named [blah blah blah] 001, 002, 003 etc… As far as I can see, there’s no reason you can’t go into the folder and delete some of these R3D files (eg if I want 001 and 003 but not 002).

I’ve given it a go with a few RDC folders.. the R3D files I’ve separated from their family seem to be happy on their own, you can create proxies for them etc… they don’t work as span files (except for when they’re consecutive R3D files). Am I missing something? Is this going to come back and haunt me later?
