MY RED KOMODO RIG | Camera Build + Honest Thoughts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- In this video, I wanted to build my RED Komodo 6K camera rig/setup with you. I have done quite a bit of research and binged a ton of other rig build videos on the Komodo (I really geek out about this stuff sometimes). I feel that my build has a good balance between cost and functionality. Included in the video will be some RED footage along with my honest thoughts as a freelance filmmaker who started out with an A7III.

As someone who's still very green to the high-end professional video project side of things, I really appreciated your personal development as a photographer/filmmaker. I started taking paid gigs with the A7iii and now using the Canon R5 I feel a bit stagnant with my skillset which has me thinking about cameras like the C70. To someone who's never really worked with a pro-level camera and worked with mirrorless it can be daunting, but getting out of my comfort zone and doing something like renting these types of cameras to practice with is something I'm definitely considering as I continue to grow my own brand/business this year. Always love your videos Ed!
Thanks Scott. Really appreciate the support! I completely can relate to your situation. What probably doesn't get talked about enough is how so many creators are using photo cameras to shoot video. Once you get a designated video camera, it really shifts your perspective in how you approach client work. Definitely would try renting a few cameras before committing to one! The C70 and Komodo are two very different cameras and if you're coming from an R5, you might really like the C70
I did that exact same thing. I have a c70 and a r5 for photo. Game …. Changer….
Some advice is look into all the accessories too before buying it. Aka battery situation.
Oh and the image quality is legit next level.
Thank you for both the camera kit and freelance journey as well as a Komodo rig setup- wishing you the best in the next steps of your filmmaking journey!
After looking at this video, a lot speaks to your talent. Your RED footage and pocket cam footage looks amazing and if there were never notes on what’s what, no one would none the wiser. Your lighting, comp, color and style speaks volumes.
This means a lot. Thank you!
Great insight about the A7III and how being uncomfortable with the learning process helped you become more well rounded with your equipment. I've been following since you posted the BMPCC video and it's really neat to hear all the valuable tips you learned along the path to your Komodo. Looking forward to seeing more of what you create with it 🤞🏼
Dude that is a ways back! Thanks for following along my journey. Definitely have learned a lot since the BMPCC but i'm grateful for what that camera did for me during that time period
Just purchased my first cinema camera (KomodoX) after operating other peoples RED's for the last 2 years. I needed to hear this after taking the leap. Thank you man.
Congrats on the camera. Super exciting :)
2024 video idea - Arri Rig Build 😉
Great video and thoughts on building your craft and seeking discomfort to grow.
Man I wishhhhh, that wont happen 😂 Thanks Joel!
Honestly the last part was the main reason I watched this video. Simply because I don't own a RED ;) But I really loved how you described your journey to own a RED with your older cameas. I think that these are one of the most reasons people watch content like this because they need the business parts of these videos. So I'd love to see you making more business type videos. Even if you and Paul are covering most of these things on MIDCONVO, dedicated scriped videos on special topics would be awesome!!!
Thanks so much for that honest feedback! I seriously love talking about creative and business tips. I think MIDCONVO is my outlet for that but it's nice to know that there are people on here that would watch business content. Got a few things in the works!
Nice build. This video is gold. Thank you for taking the time to add in the detail about your journey as a film maker. I appreciate it. This video was definitely worthy of a sub.
Thanks for watching all that part as well. Really appreciate the genuine feedback!
Hey just wanted to say thanks for making this video so easy to follow! After about 2 years of shooting on my EOS R I'm finally pulling the trigger n getting the Komodo! I ended up getting a lot of the accessories you recommended here🙌
Sweet! Thanks for watching and wishing you all the best. EOS R to Komodo is wild!
Such a clean build! Loved seeing some of your journey as a freelancer and the accompanying gear
Not as clean as this edit (with your help). Thanks bro
Awesome tips at the end! GAINZZZ all around boii I see those arms 💪💪
Such good tips. Pushing yourself is important in all aspects of life but in the creative space it can elevate your business and give you that edge above others who may only be doing the same things over and over again!
Yes completely agree! It forces you to separate yourself from everyone else in your circle and that only really brings growth
Great video Edward, and very tidy camera build for your Komodo.
I agree that getting out of your comfort zone allows you to grow and develop your skills in both personal and professional aspects of life. Owning equipment that reduces the amount of friction that you have on production is super important, but I also believe that there's the right too for the right job.
There's definitely been times where I've been on a productions where there's been budget for a cinema camera, but have gone with something more solo operator friendly as the job has turned out to be more of a run and gun situation.
Thanks for the comment Ben! I definitely agree with you. Depending on the type of project, using something like an FX3 or even C70 can be much more convenient than a RED!
Great video! Appreciate the gear journey retrospective!
Thanks for watching!
Well presented accessory list. Thank you!
Great video and great advice. Nice job.
Love the break down man! Rig looks nice. Great points towards the end of the video too talking about pushing the boundaries and growing with your gear. Looking forward to seeing what you create with this beast! #komodogang
Komodo gang
Thanks man! Loved your vertical Rig video too. Komodo boys all day
I've been loving my komods. Such a great camera!
I love your Komodo videos dude! I actually was soooo torn between the Bebob battery plate and my current setup because I watched your video. I wanted the Bebob one but it was a bit more than what I wanted to spend at the time. But anyway, thanks man!
love your content! keep it up
Thank you for sharing brother. I see some gear I would like to purchase now.
so wonderful beautiful video friend Edward i love it
Great to see your journey Edward, inspiring! I just picked up a BMPCC 4K to run along side my mirrorless camera, even in 2023, still a game changer for me! Agree with your thoughts at the end. Everything you want in life is outside your comfort zone, otherwise you'd all ready have it
Totally agree! How you liking the BMPCC 4K so far?
Love it! Great litte camera for the money. Slowly honing manual focus :)
Such a great video! Especially at the point I’m at where I want to get a cinema camera because my current camera is starting to limit me a bit!🙌🏾
Yes! That concept and part of my journey was crucial imo
Thanks for all the camera history, breakdowns and pricing of your jobs - I needed that and didn't know it. I went from DSLR to komodo straight, thinking if I should do the C70; but the image quality of the komodo seemed in a different class. Slower to work with; but we know what we sign up for - it's cine work, not videography.
Yes I agree. It's a bit of a slower camera but I like the image better. If you need speed and typically work by yourself, the C70 will be more convenient
Love the career advice 😎
Cheeky Cameo at 4:50 ;D hah wicked setup man! I've been tweaking mine a little more so may do an update in the near future, may pinch a few ideas here too!
hahahah dude loved your video on your rig!
Great insight!
I totally agree with you
I push my C70 to the Max...
Great video and a really clean rig build! I also like the fact that you implemented business and personal growth tips into this video, really inspiring! At the moment I am shooting with a Canon C100 mkII which is my first cinema camera. I kinda love the camera, but I am started to feel limited by the 8 bit footage it shoots. So im kinda at the point where you were with the A7III. I am looking into buying a blackmagic 6k as the next step up. Really hope I get to the komodo level one day as well :)
Coming from a Komodo owner now, I think the BMPCC 6K is a much better bang for the buck. Unless you are getting specific inquiries asking if you have a RED, I'd personally go the BMPCC route and save money for other accessories :)
@@edwardleefilms Thanks for the reply man!
LOL I stepped away from my computer and then saw you with gear and that dark gray background and thought it was a official Tilta tutorial video for a split second
LOL. Thank you?? hahaha
Solid vid!!
Thanks my dude!
Appreciate this video!
Thanks for watching!
omg wow - love the lighting and background on this video! What lights did you use to film yourself building the rig?
Aputure 600d with light dome above me!
Great insight for someone who recently went from a A7iii to the BMPCC 6K. Still shoot a lot of personal work with the a7iii because of the convenient form factor but learning manual focus and all the manual controls on the BMPCC is a great change of pace and also allowed me to progress my skills a lot more. Hopefully will be moving up to higher end cameras soon! Great video!
I agree! The jump from an a7iii to something like the BMPCC 6K is massive. There is no way you won't grow as a filmmaker with that kind of transition. You probably notice yourself approaching projects completely different if you know you're going to be using the 6k. Wishing you all the best!
Nice build & hair 😂, curious how long does it take to set your camera & hair?
Cool build but I’m more interested in them arms! My guy out here looking swoll!
LOL. Trying to get buff out here 😂
Not sure if you mentioned it (just started watching). But can you share the equipment and total cost breakdown? Thanks.
Hair is on point bro!
hahaha thanks dude
All well said !
What tool was that you used? Looks more beefy than the small rig aluminum version i got. i love the one you got to build it
I appreciate the transparency regarding your freelance work! As you began to upgrade your camera and land higher budget projects, did you include your gear as part of your pitch? And if so how did you go about discussing it with prospective clients?
It sort of depends. If I am using my Komodo with a simple lens kit that I already own, there are many times where I won't charge for the gear. But if it's a bigger project and different lenses or kit need to be rented, I will charge the client for the rentals. I let them know that in order to pull off the look they want, we will need additional camera gear. I find out what production value they are looking for by asking for any reference videos
hey brother love this video and im building a similar kit! Question! HOW DO YO ATTACH THE MAGIC FZ HANDWHEEL TO THE ARM? Is there a link for the additional piece? It didn't come with focus kit OR the rossette arm! Thank You!
Dude so sorry for the late response here! I did some research and it looks like it was a specific part that SmallRig sent me. Sorry that I didn't specify that. I think if you reach out to them though, they definitely have the part
I’m assuming the a7siii wasn’t available at the time you bought the a7iii… great video. Thanks for sharing your journey 🎉
I wish! That would've been wild haha
9:20 how do you manage ground loop issue?
Hey, I appreciate your thoughts on getting better cameras to help push your craft. I've been shooting with small mirrorless cameras for the past couple of years and just got the FX30 and definitely feeling a bit uncomfortable to shoot with it. Your thoughts on this have helped frame my mindset on this. Thanks!
Wow nice! I love the FX30 and FX3. Amazing cameras for sure
Now I have Red Komodo ....to push to the max....
I loved that last tip about pushing the boundaries. I'm pretty new to the freelance game but I definitely have found that I am too comfortable with my camera and therefore I'm only taking gigs that make me feel comfortable. I am in no way anywhere close to being able to afford a RED but this video may give me the push to upgrade to something that will make me feel more inspired and uncomfortable! Also, I'm curious as to why you went with the Komodo and not the V Raptor?
Love that for you! Every camera upgrade should feel like a bit of an investment that makes you little nervous imo. If you re constantly getting new mirrorless cameras, I feel like it would just be a horizontal move. If you get a camera that you know is much more capable though, it can be vertical move for your skills. The V Raptor was simply out of my budget 😂
I feel you on the Canon C70! It’s an amazing camera with great image quality and convenient features that’s perfect for what I do for work, but I can see myself becoming reliant on its autofocus a lot. I might have to look into getting a follow focus and a bigger monitor to work on my manual focusing! What are your thoughts on the MagicFIZ system?
Big monitors all day! MagicFIZ follow focus system is great for a beginner setup or if you're pretty new to follow focus systems in general. I do wish it was a bit cheaper and battery solutions were a bit more thought out, but still a solid product that gets the job done
what is the 12 G SDI cable that your ordered?
Hey Edward! Nice video! Currently I’m in the phase “5000$ - 20000$” project, but still shooting with a Sony a7IV and looking around to jump into the cinema cameras world.
I have the chance to get a C70 for almost 4K$. A Komodo would be a better solution, but it costs also more (in Italy is around 7K, kinda double).
I would love to know more about the C70. Do you have a video where you talk about it?
Hey Alessandro! The C70 is a great camera but it was too close in territory to what my Sony FX3 does for me. So I opted to sell it and get something more cinema ready like the Komodo. For the C70, I didn't really like how it color graded and I found the CLOG color profile harder to correct than RED or BRAW. I think if you need convenience, AF, and a flip out screen -- the C70 is a good choice. But if you are looking for something to grow into and rig out, I personally just prefer the Komodo or even Black Magic
Hey I'm in Seattle too.
I recently purchased a used MagicFiz system with the handgrip and I was wondering what you used to mount it on the Rosette extension arm. It doesnt come with a rosette attachment (or at least mine didn’t)
Hey there! That specific adapter was one that I had to reach out to SmallRig about directly. It comes with their two motor kit #3918. If you reach out and let them know they should be able to help you out!
Awesome video Ed! When you say project rates, is that pre, production & post? Thanks!
Yes! That is the whole project. Early on when it was under $5000, I typically did everything on my own. Once I passed the $5k budget, instead of taking home more money and being stressed, I decided to work with more people. Trying to work with more people on set was a crucial step in growing as a filmmaker
@@edwardleefilms Absolutely man! Filmmaking is a team effort not a one man band activity. I’ve been trying to work with bigger crews for every production lately.
Hi!
I’m seriously considering getting the Komodo. Do you think the og Komodo is still worth getting? I’ve got the black magic full frame but I feel like the Komodo is just right for me.
Keen to know your thoughts!
Thanks
Francesco
Hey Francesco! I think the Komodo is still an amazing camera. I still use it on my higher budget shoots. I will say in comparison to the BMPCC, it's not a crazy step up. I think BMPCC punches way above its weight for the price. I often even miss my pocket cam. However the RED is much more notable on set, its much easier to rig up (or down), and I prefer the R3D files that come out of the red camera. With that being said, if you want a cinema camera that you can grow into and plan to work towards larger teams, sets, or gear. The Komodo is great. If you plan to be a solo shooter and just want a good image -- I'd save your money and stick with the BMPCC.
Love this!!🔥🔥On a different note…where’s the villa you rented? I’m looking for a location, and that place in the desert is insane!!
Shoot me a DM on IG and I can link it for you!
@@edwardleefilms thx!
Hey Edward. Watched your x100v video and just want to say I really like you’re filmmaking style. The intro with the strings was absolutely excellent in terms of footage, aesthetic, and editing; specifically the AV timing.
Context:
Lately, I’ve been making an effort to compliment someone once a day, who deserves it. Key word; deserves. What I’m saying is this isn’t empty or altruistic. I really enjoyed it and connected with your style. Typically many of us don’t hear a positive comment from anyone, even when its clearly deserved. I invite you to try it, and push through the discomfort of recognizing the abilities of those around is. It’s been very rewarding. And no, this isn’t some copy and paste “chain mail” haha.
So, Best of luck going forward as a filmmaker. I wish you lots of success. You clearly have a real talent, coupled with an ability to weave many layers of a story for your audience. I see talent in you. Nurture it. Keep working.
Take Care,
G.
I know im a bit late to the response here. But I just read it and it impacted me. Thanks for the encouraging words. I really appreciate it!
Great video. Thank you for providing so much useful information. What is the total cost of your complete Komodo setup you demonstrated in this video, please ?
I haven't taken the time to tally everything up for the exact amount but I'd ballpark around $12-14k (including camera and lens)
Edward, great video, as I’m building out my Komodo very similar to your build. I have a question on the SmallRig top handle. Did you purchase the 35mm or 48mm nato rail? How does the nato rail mount to the top handle? Also, it looks like SmallRig has recently upgraded to a slightly newer monitor mount, replacing the mount you used. They appear almost identical to me.
Hi Gary! I purchased the 48mm nato rail and it comes with a screw that just mounts directly on the top handle itself. The the nato monitor mount onto the 48mm rail. If they make a newer one I’d go with that! As long as it swivels and tilts you should be good 👍🏼
Thanks. Also, it looks like the SmallRig top handle hangs over a bit on the Outrigger handle on the opposite side of the handle. Is this the case? If so, I would have hoped that they would have lined up better.
there's a cable you can buy to control you smallhd with the tilta power supply. that said, RED pulled their "RED approved" label from their product so core is for sure a more professional way to go! I'll probably end up switching to something else myself.
Yeah I noticed that too! Original was going to stick with Tilta but going with something that was RED approved definitely did give me that piece of mind
Edward what s your opinion about look and dynamic range C70 vs Komodo?
I think the Komodo is better than the C70 but not necessarily just on specs. For some reason, I had to work extra hard to get the C70 CLOG footage to look the way I wanted. The window for mistakes or not exposing correctly was much smaller. Whereas with the Komodo, I find myself being less worried in post because the R3D files edit so nicely. I know you can shoot RAW on the C70 too but with that camera, I never thought the extra data it required was worth it
Super clean. Did you shoot this with the BMPCC? or the C70?
I shot this video with the Sony FX3 and Sony A7SIII
Well put!
Love my BMPCC 6k Pro but how does one get bigger and higher paying clients?
There is probably a ton of different ways to answer your question but one practical tip that really helped me early on:
Look at the people you think are "succeeding" in the content creation business. Study their videos and reverse engineer their tactics (edits, pacing, cuts, color). Then continue to stack your new work next to theirs until you get to a point where you can confidently say that you are at the same quality.
I did this early on and was just always brutally honest with myself. I still am and this has caused some perfectionism in certain areas but overall I think it's helped me in the long run
@@edwardleefilms thanks Edward, that’s actually really helpful!
@@gbains6763ne way to answer that - the portfolio piece like Edward was talking about PLUS relationships. It took me 2+ years of grinding hard with a client on a project by project basis to reach the point where they saw so much value in videos. Then they wanted an annual contract. I pitched them on $60K per year. They didn’t blink. You can have the portfolio all day, but you gotta get in the trenches and help people out in their businesses first. Hit me back if you have any follow up questions 🤙🏻
Hey man, fellow freelance filmmaker here. Curious - do you self-produce your projects currently? Or do you work with a producer?
I usually self-produce! Anything under $10k, i'm usually wearing all the hats. The first thing i'll look to outsource if the budget allows is editing/post. I have been on several projects though with producers and I just get hired to shoot
Hi Edward. I’m highly considering moving to the Core Gold Mount plate and batteries like you did. How has your experience been, now that you have had your setup a while? I already have the SmallHD Indie 7, so I would power it just like you do. Would you still recommend your G-Mount plate and batteries? And can you confirm that your battery level shows up correctly on the Komodo/Indie 7?
Awesome question! I'm overall 8/10 satisfied with the GM Core Plate. There is a very slight wiggle/play if you move the plate up and down. Not enough to disconnect the camera but if you are nit picky about small play room on things, this is definitely a thing. But for the price bundled with the GM batteries Core offers, it was a great deal still imo. I also like how seamless it integrates without any overheating and proper battery readouts. It's also RED approved which gives you an extra piece of mind. If you need something super snug fit, I was initially looking at the Bebob Cocomodo Plate
Hi Edward. I received my Core Gold Mount plate today, and luckily it fits very snugly on my Komodo with no movement. I’m charging the batteries, so I have not installed a battery on the plate yet, but even with a battery installed, I doubt I’m going to experience any movement. So far, I’m very happy with the so,Union. My lemo cable arrives tomorrow to power my Indie 7 monitor off of the plate. 👍
Bro , One question, is it mandatory to use cfast for storage or can I use an ssd hard drive as an alternative?
It's not mandatory but I like using the cfast for more peace of mind and reliability
How do you find work starting out ?
Without any contacts and where the film scene is very closed niche like lets say in Germany ?
How do you find people who might be interested...
Clean talking head setup by the way,such smooth lighting and the presentation absolutely clean.
Thanks for the kind words! As for finding work starting out, there might be many different ways to approach it. The number one thing I would do if I was starting out is to start building a portfolio that accurately shows my current skill level. Without a portfolio it will be hard to close any new clients
Question. My red camera turn on at first. Connected via dc-in. A test was conducted. And then, at the second power-up, it turned on, but after 30 seconds it went out. And it didn't work out any other way to turn it on. And they said that 4 boards were burned, how could this happen?
Which battery plate are you using?
@@edwardleefilms Tilta TA-T08-BPV Canon BP.
Could it be him?
Could have kept (although Red dropped their approval) the Tilta advanced module. All you needed was the SmallHD to 4pin cable.
Yeah that was the biggest thing for me. I was doing some research and read some horror stories with the Tilta module.. but I didn't know you just needed a different SmallHD cable!
Where is the Canon C70 build? 😂
I'm currently struggling to get my build right! Can definitely use some parts of this video, but I would love to see a C70 build from you 🎥
Great videos man! Keep up the good work.
I never made one! Honestly, the camera didn't need to be built out imo. It's so ready to go straight out of the box that I never really felt the need to add a bunch of accessories to it. Which is what makes the C70 in my opinion!
@@edwardleefilms totally agree! I mostly use the camera with nothing else than a mic and the RF 15-35 and 24-70. It's a killer combo!
But when I do bigger productions I like to rig the camera a bit more. I just ordered the DZO Pictor 20-55 T2.8 and some spare parts for a rig inspired a bit by your video 🎥
$500 for that license is WILD 🤯 Such a fire setup though!
RIGHT. But totally worth hahaha
Hey Ed, any thoughts on smallrig system vs tilta nano system?
I think they are both solid. I use to have a Tilta system for my BMPCC kit. I can say that they both work well but I slightly prefer the SmallRig
@@edwardleefilms yeah might get a used nano from a bud tomorrow
You could have used a RED® CTRL 4-pin to SmallHD 5-pin USB Cable with the advanced power module to connect your monitor.
I actually found out about this recently! Thanks for the heads up
How much does this rig cost, and can you put this on a handheld gimbal?
I would say about $5-6k without the camera. You can put it on a gimbal but probably will have to take off the rails and mattebox
Man if these weren’t so expensive I would get one for my video work ( and to make music videos that look like movies lol )
Yeah it definitely can be costly when you need to get all the accessories too. But you can still make fire music videos Mikey!
Only thing is that Small HD Indie 7….that’s a hard trigger to pull!
I saw your earlier comment about the SmallRig attachment piece for handle! It came with my kit but i wonder if they changed it since then? Maybe you could reach out to them with my video and see if thats a piece you can get
Spending $1900 on a monitor and cable so you can control the camera on a bigger screen, and then realizing that using RED Control app on your phone does all the exact same things. (and even way more customizable if you spend the time with it) And no need for cables or powering.
Sure, it doesn't work 100% of the time, but it doesn't require a $500 cable to work, either. That's a tough pill to swallow for a cable that definitely won't work forever because it's a cable. Also also, how do you run timecode if that cable is taking up the 9 pin? Is there a different solution?
I have the same build inspired from the same person. Lol
nice camera is a dream🥹🥹
why you looked upset here lol 4:16
Respectfully......the C70 and Komodo are on the same level. Just my opinion with owning both.
I can't argue with that haha. They are very similar price points and are in the same range in terms of camera quality. I think my thoughts in this video are specifically about my own workflow and how I work on set. But you are right
Nice hair
Thanks :)
Haha, listening to your story feels like I was looking in the mirror. Well at an asian version with much better hair!
hahahah thanks for watching man!
trully Words
You don't have to be rich to be my friend
you’re getting $20K for one project??? 💀 .. what part of the world do you live?
Red is overrated.
Most content filmmakers on RUclips already are using Sony mirrorless and Sony cameras are industry standard.
Sony cameras is up there for big production and no one uses Manual focus anymore.
The GM glasses are some of the best glasses in the industry.
People who don’t own reds say reds are overrated…
I also shoot on Sony's and don't disagree with you. But you can't say that RED is overrated and that nobody uses manual focus anymore. You might only be referring to RUclipsrs because in the production world, people still prioritize higher end cameras and use manual focus
@@edwardleefilms Nah fam, if youtube creators say they using Sony Mirrorless for actual production I trust them.
Red is APSC and creators say APSC is bad, Full frame is more superior anyways so there's that.
A London Sony filmmaker also said G master lenses are far more superior to use with Sony camera's cause it's optimized.
Why is the film industry gatekeeping Sony mirrorless cameras?
Red has better image quality, highlight roll off and dynamic range.
Why are you using so many acronyms it’s annoying and a lot of this gear is overkill it’s just a camera
GREAT !
