Great overview. You do a great job relating to the actual use of the Komodo instead of getting caught up in feature and spec discrepancies and seeing so many RUclipsrs buy and sell gear every 3 months. It’s ridiculous. You give me hope there’s still a mature, well understood culture of professionals worth subscribing to and learning from ❤
I've been running my Komodo for 2 years now, and most of what I do is run and gun. I've never really had an issue with the time it takes to power on. I keep it on most of the day (except when I know I'm not going to need it for a period), and the two 975 batteries I have work for most of the day. I have a V Mount attachment to use just in case the batteries do run out, but I rarely use it. The Red Komodo is a trustworthy camera, and I don't like using anything else now that I'm so used to it. So much latitude in post. So flexible in every way. Not perfect, but perfect enough.
Absolutely agree with your observations, the boot up time segment was hilarious because that’s basically how it is and SO many people complain about it, I don’t understand why, I don’t have any issues with the boot up time. And just adding up, I am friends with a RED engineer and he has explained to me many things about the calibration process and how cameras like the Komodo and up, don’t need to be calibrated every time, just when there’s an extreme temperature change but you can shoot normally with the T in orange/yellow with out issues. I love my Komodo and it’s fantastic, the IQ and Color science is something different from the rest of cameras I’ve used and it’s something that I feel everyone needs to experience, working with R3D is beautiful too. Great video Ruben ! I was planning on making almost the same video of taking down some myths and lies about the Komodo but you beat me to it hahaha, much love man, take care !
@@AndyLSB Haha, thanks, brother. Hey, you can still make your video, that way there will be more people breaking those myths about it. Thanks for your fantastic input
Excellent! This is the kind of video that closes the deal, I must get one! A lens question: I couldn't find a Sigma 18-35 1.8 for Canon RF. Do you use an adapter ring? Thanks!
@@nes.torfernandez Still a lot to learn, but this was the first attempt. It wasn’t so difficult to use in the end, and I think the shots were pretty decent. Thank you so much for passing by my friend 🙏
Great video. I hate to admit that I have two $30k+ cinema cameras and work in Hollywood. But since I got red Komodo those cameras are collecting dust. Once you master R3D codec, it is an amazing camera and some feature films by Steven Soderburg are being shot on this camera. So that says enough, and I am selling those older cameras now. I also found the booting time to be fine, and even if you recalibrate the sensor (I do it frequently) I never find to loose a shot. Only DSLR shooters will complain about booting time, but power users find the Komodo time to be acceptable. When I sell my other cameras, I will buy Komodo X or possibly RaptorX as I prefer the R3D workflow to the other flavors of raw, and the small size of RED cameras makes them idea for all type of production. And ofc image quality is Hollywood motion picture approved. Great video :)
Excellent first review, Ruben. I agree with your assessments of the camera and the critiques out there, especially about the Komodo 6K. Since the Komodo 6K is the first sub-$10k RED camera - making ownership of a RED approachable for the first time for many shooters - it suffers from unfair feature comparisons to platforms that those new owners are accustomed to shooting with, namely DSLR and mirrorless cameras. When approaching the RED Komodo 6K on its own merits (as you have in your video), you’ll see that it is a highly capable piece of kit for many types of productions, especially with its global shutter and world-class codex. I look forward to your battery review, as well as your inevitable in-depth review and side-by-side footage comparisons with the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera (another capable platform). Your daughter did a great job assisting, btw!
Thank you so much, Rene. You're absolutely right. Just the fact that this camera was created as a B, C, or D camera doesn't make it fair to be compared with A cameras. However, it does the job very well as an A camera!
Fantastic stuff, Dr Ruben! The footage looks incredible - but then again, your footage is always great. The sound was totally fine on my iPhone but I’ll listen again on the big speakers later. (Thanks for the shoutout, my pleasure to help!) The mountains and outdoor footage crisp and truly beautiful. Thanks for your insight, always learning from your videos 💪🏽🤠👍🏽
Hey man, great review - I didn't even know about the EDGE focus feature, that's great! So, given your experience with Blackmagic (I am a BMPCC4k user of 5 years now), would you recommend the Komodo? I love the form factor and also the global shutter for things like action ad strobe lighting - and now the price has dropped, it is worth it, yes?
@@MondoCheapo It is worth every penny, man. Won’t lie to you, and I will be talking about many things in the future; the files are bigger than the BM files, (not THAT big though), but those colors, the code and the dynamic range are amazing. Funny enough: a very simple camera to use! Thanks for checking it out 🙏
Nothing beats the RED IPP2 workflow in my opinion and so much that you covered was a big worry or concern before I bought into dSMC2 and now RAPTOR X and KOMODO X DSMC3. Thanks for sharing. Niente batte il flusso di lavoro RED IPP2 secondo me e così tanto di ciò che hai trattato era una grande preoccupazione o preoccupazione per me prima di acquistare DSMC2 e ora RAPTOR X e KOMODO X DSMC3. Grazie per la condivisione.
Is there any danger if i put komodo with lens and battery already there to my backpack? I only put the v mount, run it and slide the monitor and that’s it. It takes time to put the lens and battery again and again, not to talk about exposing the sensor. Also if I travel with it this way in the backpack on the bike, will the vibration hurt it?
Good question! If you have your Komodo assembled inside your backpack, you will be much more efficient- no doubt. I don't think the vibration from being inside a backpack will negatively affect the camera. Remember, this camera was designed to be a crash camera, so from what I heard, it's very resistant. Of course, do your research about that! Thanks for watching
Great video! I appreciate you sharing some first hand experience with us. That being said, I think black magic still is the best bang for the buck! Absolutely in love with BRAW, and the 12-bit colors You get for the relatively small file sizes.
@@MtZionMediaPro Blackmagic cameras are great, no doubt, and yes, the file size is smaller compared to RED. Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts 🙏
I really do not look back to my pocket 6k pro since I „upgraded“ to a Komodo x Specially when the basic conversion luts and settings for raw handling is set. Image out of the box is already such a game changer. Having a bazillion more cables are the only set back to me. Understanding how to set ISO is also changing a lot when you use a red Komodo as it has no native iso. Changing iso basically shifting the dynamic range.
@@topicruben Hey! This is a compliment. I enjoyed your video so nothing negative at all. I also liked your resourcefulness and overall review of the camera. I’m trying to figure out if such camera would be good for me atm. And can’t get rid of the thoughts how much I love the colour science)
I just ran a test for you, and calibrating the sensor took about 2 minutes. However, I did it right after turning on the Komodo in the morning. The correct way should be to let it arrive at a specific temperature because maybe the "T" will turn green by itself, so in that case, you don't have to do any calibration. I hope I'm clear enough.
Great to see but there’s a much better & easier way to process your footage…this way you aren’t getting the cleanest image or the full file. Use your raw tab first & then the ipp2 noise support within R3D.
@@jamescook5931 saying that a camera has a better image quality than other is very relative. It all depends on the project the camera is used for and your personal taste. Even dynamic range can be relative cause it can also depend on the project. The C400 must be an amazing camera. Canon are very good cameras, also Sony, Blackmagic, etc., I personally like the texture, color science and dynamic range of RED cameras. That’s all
so im using the same mic w the komodo and the gain is VERY weak . The reason why is the built in pre amps are bad ? If so how can you fix the mic issue ? record to an external recorder ? or is there any other way ?
@@poti732 Good question! Yes, basically you need an external recorder. I purchased one and wrote the script for a video because I’m very happy with the results, but I need to finish a couple of videos I have in my pipeline first, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching 🙏
Only reason I’ve never went to red is you just can’t beat the value of a BMD camera! Heck even the pocket cinema 4k is insane! The speed of which you can fly through the menu, all the tools it comes with, the footage is stable. I just can’t find a reason to switch.
I’m old enough to remember when a huge amount of stuff was shot on film (I’m just a serious enthusiast - not a professional DP or whatever) - some of us still hark back to the days of celluloid (and people like Spielberg and Christopher Nolan won’t shoot on anything else) - all in all - and I also have a Panasonic GH 5 - the Komodo OG is a very attractive proposition - the colour science of the Red files with the 16 bit depth is fantastic. Arri do not do a “budget” cinema camera - in absolute terms, sub $10,000 is “budget” when it comes to cinema cameras ! I will continue to use my Panasonic GH 5 (the file sizes are a lot smaller for a start) but when I feel the need for “super duper” picture quality, the Komodo OG can deliver in spades !
@@Digibeatle09 I completely agree with you: nothing like the celluloid!! And yes, Arri cameras are very expensive. I feel that my first camera should’ve been the famous GH5; well, it’s never too late for a compact-great smaller camera! Thank you for your great comment 🙏
Blackmagic cameras are fantastic. You probably know this, and just to be clear, the 6K FF is amazing. RED cameras have a 16-bit color depth, and Blackmagic cameras have 12, but it's not only that; it's (I guess) the color science. It's beautiful, man. Thanks for checking the video out!
@@topicruben Hey just so you know (at least from what I understand) they're both 16-bit. While Braw is advertised as 12 bit, it's actually 12-bit log, which converts to 16-bit linear. If you look at the metadata in Davinci you'll see that to be the case. I know that confused me for awhile too. Glad to hear the Komodo also has a fantastic image!
@@thejoe4975its not the same as 16bit linear else they wouldn’t turn into 12bit log. It’s like saying an mp3 is the same as a 32bit float recording because the difference is imperceptible to human hearing. Does it matter for 99% of productions? No. That’s probably also why ProRes is still an industry standard while lacking RAW features.
@@MrCoffis I don't now about that. I know Arri does something similar where they record in 13-bit log which translates to 18-bit linear in post. If you don't believe me it's on their website. I'd be happy to learn something new if I'm wrong though.
@@thejoe4975 am no expert but afak you can not make 12bit into 16bit or 13bit into 16bit. You can do the opposite though. You are applying a log curve to the data points which mimic the response to light of human vision. Essentially you are compressing the data resulting in smaller file sizes but you are losing data points because of the step down. You can turn 12 bit log into linear but it won’t be 16bit anymore, at least not like the sensor recorded it. So you are losing information but because of the log curve can fit the full dynamic range in a way that looks natural to the human eye. A human eye gets less sensitive with more light vs the sensor has same sensitivity resulting in extreme amounts of data in the highlights since every stop of light means 2x amount of data. So data goes exponential (graph of data vs stops of light) vs the eye has a log response, (so it will be somewhat linear on brain data vs stops of light graph). So we apply a log curve on to the 16 bit data end merge data points together resulting in less datapoints that still look normal to us humans. It’s like having an ever increasing resolution at the high end when you don’t really need it, so you put a log 🪵 on to it. That’s as far as I understand it.
*Great looking footage ! The difference between BMD's 12 Bit RAW and RED's 16 Bit REDCODE RAW Codec can plainly be seen, and the difference is not subtle ! The colour depth and details in the shadows and highlights is huge with the Komodo. May I ask you how much you paid for your used Komodo ?*
