Gyro data to R3D is a surprise. So is cloud upload capability. Hopefully the update drops by Christmas!
Jarred Land Teases Komodo Update
RED to Unveil Monochrome Komodo in 2023?
During a livestream a couple of years ago with some of the very first filmmakers to get their hands on the RED Komodo, Jarred Land announced that a monochrome Komodo was absolutely on the road map. Now that the V-Raptor, V-Raptor XL and Rhino are all in production, can we expect a Komodochrome in 2023?... Continue Reading →

RED Komodo: ISO 250 vs. ISO 800
Shooting at ISO 250 with RED results in more visible shades (stops of latitude) in the shadows and less noise (though we're hard-pressed to see the difference in the screenshots), but also considerably less highlight protection. Both screen grabs are from clips that have been exposed as much as possible without highlight clipping. You can... Continue Reading →

Don't let the thumbnail deceive you - you can see our bouncy gimbal work in the video. This was only the second time we’ve bothered to calibrate the sensor before a shoot. Up next - trying to figure out a workable follow focus solution for the set of Meike lenses. https://youtu.be/xKzpW0ctQdw
Komodos Galore on Netflix Action-Comedy
“Some days on Day Shift we deployed four RED MONSTROS and 10 KOMODOs plus. For scenes with pyrotechnics, we’d add more KOMODOs. Sometimes we rolled 20 cameras.” - DP Toby Oliver on Netflix vampire flick “Day Shift” Not something we're interested in watching, but you can read more from Oliver here.
Create Color Separation & Textural Depth in DR18
Note: The video should be watched in a pitch-dark room. HDR is supposed to be graded in an environment with ambient lighting at 5 nits, which might help to explain why so many complain about HDR being so dark. Unlike SDR, the PQ curve is absolute, meaning that, unlike SDR, the image can't be made... Continue Reading →
As Easy as Using an iPhone
It's so liberating to be able to view the false color guides and histogram, adjust white balance, ISO and aperture, pull focus, change the aspect ratio and frame rate and format media - all with an iPhone.
RED Komodo at ISO 250
Because of its higher contrast, noise is much more visible in HDR - a fact ignored by camera reviewers - and what may be acceptable in SDR might very well turn out to be unsatisfactory when mastering in PQ ST 2084. CVP shoots their B-roll with the Komodo set to ISO 250 for the cleanest... Continue Reading →
RED Control App
The RED Control app gives you access to the functions of the RED Komodo on a smartphone, tablet or laptop computer. Below is the screen that greets you upon opening the app. Tapping on any of the four stars in the bottom left-hand corner opens up different pages or tabs. The large red button labeled...

RED Komodo: Versatility
Balancing the RED Komodo paired with the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM on a DJI RS 2 was easy peasy! In fact, it required much less time to balance than the a7s III with the Ninja V. As can be seen in the photo below, there is a ton of clearance between the... Continue Reading →
RED Komodo First Sample Footage! (re-upload)
The footage was massively overexposed and white balance was off by several thousand degrees Kelvin. Still figuring things out... hehe https://youtu.be/eM9j2VxjBpk
