Review Summary
2023-02-05T08:03:42
I picked this kit up because my bigger clients started requesting files from cinema cameras. Coming from a hybrid camera background, the Komodo was a logical step towards cinema cameras... At least for me. I am in the process of producing a series of videos for a globally recognized product and the Komodo has yet to let me down. I have not utilized all that this kit offers... The body/brain, batteries, an cfast card are what sees the most action. I have only used the Canon VND adapter once and have not used the grips. I suggest the Kuppertie lens adapters for EF and PL mount lenses. They allow you to anchor the adapter to your cage (I purchased the Kondor Blue cage).

At the heart of the pack lies the KOMODO 6K, RED Digital Cinema's latest innovation in their esteemed lineup of image capture technology. This compact cinema camera encapsulates RED's renowned image quality, color science, and sensor technology in a portable form factor, allowing for unparalleled creative freedom. The KOMODO 6K features a groundbreaking 6K S35 global shutter sensor that preserves dynamic range while delivering RED's signature unmatched imagery without creative or technical compromises.
The camera's built-in Canon RF mount offers versatility, enabling the use of a broad spectrum of lenses through various adapters, including Canon EF, PL, and Leica M mounts. The KOMODO 6K is also equipped with a DC IN power port and can be powered using two Canon BP style batteries, ensuring extended shooting times and flexibility on location.
Included in the starter pack is the Canon Drop-In Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, which expands your lens options by connecting an EF or EF-S lens to your EOS R camera.

Its rugged, dust- and water-resistant construction ensures reliability in various shooting conditions.
For on-the-go shooting, the KOMODO Wing Grip provides an ergonomic machined grip with tactical 1/4-20 mounting points, perfect for lightweight camera configurations and low-profile handheld options. The grip enhances comfort and utility, making it easier to carry and operate the KOMODO.
Data storage and transfer are handled by the RED PRO CFast 512GB, the official certified media card for the KOMODO 6K.
