    I agree with you on the BP batteries making it a small piece of kit. The image quality makes it such a sexy beast at the price point.

    Red had your camera for a month and didn't tell you they were missing a part to work on it is pretty bad customer service. That would turn me off from Red right there. When I had the BMPCC4K and called them to get technical help, I didn't wait on the phone for more than a few seconds before I was connected to someone. And they helped me out pretty fast at that point. Customer service is a huge factor to me. Hopefully, they've hired more support to back up the needs of Komodo X users since it appears to be selling really well.

    I know everyone has their take on the Nikon situation but I think it’ll only help RED as they have brought their product to an attainable level for lower end solo shooting pros. Nikon has so many resources to bolster the business of RED that will in the end make them a better camera system. Like if an MBA company bought out my documentary filmmaking company but let me run it and keep it and bolstered my business with their knowledge and resources. It would only make it better. Not everyone’s cup of tea but it could be great with the right partnership.

    Hi Geoff, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, your videos are always interesting.
    I am curious if you have try the new Black Magic Cinema Camera 6K Full Frame? It is FF and, I think, the IQ is slightly better than Komodo OG; and it comes with an excellent 5" monitor (1000 nits) and a high quality and flexible 12-bit codec (BRaw). Maybe your clients want RED R3D but in terms of IQ, the BMCC 6K FF ir very impressive for the price (you can get two BMCC 6K FF for the price of one Komodo ready to shoot). This non scientific comparison could illustrate what I am talking about: ruclips.net/video/4-ArHeOTv5g/видео.html

    • @ReachFilms
      @ReachFilms  3 месяца назад +1

      Thank you! I think the Blackmagic image quality is great! I do think a few things. The pocket 6k is slightly better but since it’s an EF mount it’s starting to be not as versatile. If Blackmagic came out with an L mount super 35 camera I would totally pick one up. I just really have no interest in picking up a third lens ecosystem since I’m in Sony E and in Canon RF right now. I do think the Blackmagic 6k FF has a lot of value though it’s just not for me

      i break it down in the video, but the part you are probably asking for is certain gigs want the codec and dont care which camera if its 24/30
