Shot on RED KOMODO 6K
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 ❤
@@marklholloway Thank you so much, Mark. I appreciate your kind words 🙏
Amazing review my Brother and you're right cuz I have the OG Komodo also it's amazing on low light on multiple projects
@@JwfilmNmusicStudio Thanks so much for the kind words and for sharing your thoughts, man. It is an amazing camera indeed. Cheers, brother
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.
@@morningviewmedia “Not perfect, but perfect enough” I like that! Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏
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 💪🏽🤠👍🏽
@@SonnyGreenwichJr Always learning from your videos as well Maestro! Thank you very much for tuning in and for the help 🙏
Finally 🙌🏼 I was excited about your opinion on this camera. I’m
Very happy to hear the positive feedbacks.
@@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 🙏
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
Bought my og in February brand new, I have zero regrets, its a beautiful tool to have at your disposal...
@@RoydenWakefield yes Sir! Happy for you and for myself, lol. Thanks for checking the video out 🙏
BM OG ? How did you manage to get the new one ?
@rajaradhakrishnan1230 I bought it!
Very nice video, I don’t understand much about cameras but I watched until the end and find your tips and feedback very to the point! Thanks 🙏
@@Valentina-bk2dh Thank you very much 🙏
Hows the image quality comapered to the Blackmagic?
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!
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 🙏
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 🙏
@@topicruben Cheers man, I love my Blackmagic, but some situations could really benefit from that shutter!
@@MondoCheapo 💯% 😃 Same here! I got the 6K FF, and believe me, it’s a great camera, but the Komodo is something else 💥
Great video as always. That's an awesome camera brother!I
I love seeing the "Polish" little soldier :)
Haha, I filmed the soldier for you. Thanks, brother. It's really a pleasure to use this camera.
Great video , the test tootage look great brother , now that the Komod x is more affordable I might snap one very soon
@@Kashilembo That would be awesome for you, that’s an incredible machine. Thanks for stopping by 🙏
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.
@@ThisIsLeeBird They’re good cameras, aren’t they? Thanks for sharing 🙏
Amazing video brother, very practical and relatable
@@temitayoisme Thank you so much, buddy. Appreciate your kind words and support 🙏
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!
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
If you do have to calibrate the sensor, how long does that process take?
I’ll get back to you with precise time
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.
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.
No mention of recording media.
@@stokestack Stay tuned 😉
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.
Thank you so much for the tip! Are you talking about within davinci Resolve???
Thanks for the video bro, Austria footage looks amazing
@@lemmonsinmyeyes Thank you so much 🙏
I have less problems with my $3k Sony FX30 with the XLR handle....I get a great image with a great sound without issue... 😁
@@seancloutier2577 fair enough. Thanks for checking in 🙏
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 :)
Thank you so much, Alexander for stopping by and for your awesome comment. Highly appreciated it
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.
@@carlosq00 Thank you Carlos, for sharing and for your great comments. I will get one day to DSMC3! 🙏
Sir I am sony fx3 user. Can you please tell something about auto focus? I am so close to buy komodo after this video ❤️❤️
This is extraordinary!
@@ScullyPop Thanks brother 🙏
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 🙏
*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 ?*
@@markjob6354 Indeed! As soon as I shot the first test I noticed the difference! It’s hard to explain, well, it’s not, it’s math. This was a used brain I got from a company, so I had some discounts, but it’s about what you generally pay for one everywhere. Thanks for watching
Interesting video. Both still out of my league LOL
@@DesmondsDonders Thank you my dear friends 🙏 They are pricey indeed, but they will go down for sure (in price 😃)
