Bright Tangerine Essentials Kit for RED KOMODO-X

Getting started with a RED rig? Our Essentials Kit for RED KOMODO-X gives you everything you need to get started: with multiple platforms for customizing your camera. Based on our Universal Dovetail ecosystem, the Essentials Kit is the foundations for the ultimate RED KOMODO-X build.

Everything you need to get started: the Essentials Kit for RED KOMODO-X is the ultimate starter kit. Featuring our Universal Dovetail for smooth transitions from gimbals to tripods, you can cut the downtime on any shoot. With a range of rigging options for everything from camera straps to wireless transmitters, your camera can be ready for anything. Made to our signature quality standard, the Essentials Kit is the ultimate choice for RED rigging.

No Downtime
Our Universal Dovetail is a unique mounting system, perfect for minimalist rigs. It features dual compatibility with Manfrotto tripods and DJI gimbals - including an integrated DJI RS gear rack for balancing cameras - which gives you effortless switching between setups. When every second of cumbersome downtime counts, the Universal Dovetail cuts the last-minute scramble from your shoot schedule.

RED-dy for Anything
With the Side and Top Rails, you've got a selection of rigging options in a compact footprint. For classic bolt-on accessories, you've got 1/4" and 3/8" threads. For quick-release components, there are QD sockets and integrated NATO rails. To keep your gear safe, each thread has a helicoil-reinforced steel insert to prevent loosening, and the NATO rails feature safety stops at either end.

Adapter-Friendly
When you step up from standard zooms to pristine primes, make sure you've got the right lens mount. Our Side and Top Rails feature dedicated mounts for Lens Adapters and Supports: both for our own range of adapter supports as well as first-party options from RED. Check the compatibility section for a breakdown of what works.

Only the Essentials
The Essentials Kit truly lives up to its name, with a deliberately minimal build. But don't confuse "minimal" for "limited": between the Universal Dovetail's dual functionality and the assortment of rigging options on the Rails mean that you'll never have to compromise.

Built to Last
Normally when a customer only buys something once, that's a black mark against the business. Not with us: our Essentials Kit matches the high standard of quality set for all our goods: high-strength and low-weight for the ideal balance on your camera body.

Easy Rigging

Quick-Release Convenience
If you need to mount a Top Handle or microphone to the front of your RED rig, then the NATO Rail is the top choice. Featuring integrated safety stops and a centered ball to help align compatible accessories, you've got a clean quick-release option for a range of accessories. To avoid clashing with RED accessories, the Rail is offset from the center.

RED Rigging
If you're using RED's DSMC RED Touch 7.0", you don't have to compromise on the rest of your build. The NATO Rail can be mounted with or without the RED Monitor Interface (RMI), for smooth shooting regardless of the rig. Likewise, the NATO Rail is compatible with all the variants of the RED KOMODO-X, and features mounting points for lens adapters and supports when you want to switch things up.

Expand Your Options
For more classic bolt-on accessories, the NATO Rail also features a selection of 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads - each with anti-twist slots to keep your gear aligned. For slinging a strap, there are also two QD sockets that make for easy transporting when shooting run-and-gun.

Built to Last
The Top NATO Rail is built to our signature standard of quality and functionality, to be a practical solution for RED filmmakers. Whether you're doing some run-and-gun content creation and want an easy-to-carry handle, or are working on a feature film with a complex rig, the NATO Rail is ideal for both - or anything else.

- Universal Dovetail -
The Universal Dovetail for Manfrotto and DJI RS 4 provides a mount for Manfrotto 5 Series and DJI RS 4 plates - able to mount to either safety standard. It also provides an optional 15mm rod bracket at the front. The Dovetail has both a 1/4" 3/8" screws for compatibility with any camera.

The first of its kind: our Universal Dovetail for Manfrotto and DJI RS 4 is the ultimate solution for streamlined shooting. The Dovetail mounts to both Manfrotto and DJI plates, meaning you can seamlessly transition your entire rig from tripod to gimbal in moments. It has compatibility with our 15mm rod bracket at the front for additional accessories.

Cross-Compatible Dovetail
A frustrating feature for many filmmakers has been the slight differences between Manfrotto and DJI plate standards. With our new Universal Dovetail, you can use the same mount for DJI RS 4 gimbals and Manfrotto 5 Series tripods with ease. The spring-loaded gear rack for DJI gimbals makes it easy to mount to compatible gimbals, and a safety stop ensures that the dovetail doesn't detach by itself.

Universal Camera Capabilities
That universal compatibility also applies to the cameras you can use: with both a 1/4" and two 3/8" screws, the Universal Dovetail can accommodate any camera body. For owner-operators who want added convenience without investing in a full-fledged rig, the Universal Dovetail is a great middle-ground. Whether you shoot run-and-gun video content or are experimenting with cinematic narrative, this compact dovetail gives you everything you need to get started with your rig.
