Next-level low-light performance

Shoot clean, detailed images in challenging light. The tightly managed thermal system and R3D recording format give you outstanding performance in shadows and highlights.

- RED RF to PL Adapter with Electronic ND Filter Pack -
The RED KOMODO RF to PL w/ Electronic ND Filter Adapter Pack integrates the same precise electronic ND control as used in the V-RAPTOR XL into a robust PL mount solution for the RED KOMODO and KOMODO-X.

Each clear and electronic ND filters thickness are measured and paired together to ensure no back focus shifts when switching between filters.
