After about 6 months of owning / operating the RED Komodo X, I finally have some context into my decision. This camera has been incredible
Also, let me know if you guys want a dedicated video where I talk about the other cameras I researched!
Cheers

@nickmleen Месяц назад

How has the boot up time/black shading been in the more "run & gun" scenarios ? Thinking about making the switch from FX3 for more doc-style outdoor work

@thomas.kovacik Месяц назад

hasn't been an issue! I black shade at the start of every day, then again at lunch (just bc) but most scenarios the light doesn't come on saying you need to black shade. Bootup time is forsure slower- the c70 was like 1-2 seconds, fx3 is the same. I just turn it on and leave it going until I know we are moving locations or not shooting or whatever The fx3 is really solid and versatile, I would try to add something to go alongside it. There's been so many times where I reach for the fx3 for the speed, but man the KX IQ, workflow and ergonomics are reaaaally nice It's crazy minimal with that dsmc3 monitor and it feels great when running around solo haha

@nathanael_marguereta_dop 29 дней назад

@@thomas.kovacik For the blackshading, make sure you let the camera get up to working temperature (just turn it on, let it be for 5 mins and then do the shading, even longer if it's super cold). Otherwise you'll blackshade for a colder temperature then what the camera will be

Great video. Been a Komodo OG user a couple of years and love it so much for the same reasons you mentioned. My next camera will definitely be a Red either KX or I'm thinking VRaptor for the super high frame rates. But hard to justify because the Komodo is amazing as is. That look that colour.

@TheRealHarrypm 19 дней назад

Its worth noting CFexpress like Cfast (SATA 2/3) is just its using the new NVMe 1x/4x interface, so with most camaras you can just use adapters and run 4-8TB NVMe SSDs at the same cost of these native cards, some brands are just outright using M.2 SSDs on caddy sleds witch makes far more sence easy to get, easy to replace, easy to conformal coat etc.

@thomas.kovacik 19 дней назад

That’s an option too! I hate running external media- did that on the p6k. But if you’re doing event / studio / stuff that doesn’t mind a fragile setup then that’s forsure a great move

@TheRealHarrypm 19 дней назад

@@thomas.kovacik I've never had an issue with it because it's very easy to rig and protect media cabling lines, massive amount of upfront savings when you consider how much has to be invested into LTO tape for maintaining a local archive per project, you just dump a drive into an ingestion and just pop a new one in and off to go.

Just another option for people to consider who are in your position... The super 35 V raptor. I was also looking at the Komodo X. You may be able to find a good deal on a used one if you're patient and lucky. You may be able to get one for maybe 20% more than a KX.

@thomas.kovacik Месяц назад

You know what.. That’s a great idea! I could see that being a great addition to a KX or a reaaaallly solid A cam The KX was a great first move for me for the size but man that raptor still is pretty compact, brb checking facebook marketplace haha

@phrasalsyntax 25 дней назад

Thanks for the video, very informative and honest. I think that for your type of work the just released Canon C400 would be the ideal camera. The Komodo X would still produce better images (more filmic) than the c400 (more video look), but the functionality of the C400 seems unbeatable for run & gun, corporate, comercial, broadcasting. Personally, and in terms of image quality, I would have invested on the coming Blackmagic Ursa Cine 12K ($15K) with its new FF sensor and impresive capabilities, but I understand that this brand is not requested enough in your local area and network, and maybe it's not suited for the type of work you do. However, I think this is going to change in the next couple of years. Blackmagic is taking the high-end cinema camera market very seriously and their camera hardware and color science is getting better and better.

@thomas.kovacik 25 дней назад

Thanks! Yeah the c400 seems to fix a lot of issues with the c70 The Blackmagic is rad! But wayyyy to big for me haha, but not opposed to them overall

@CINENIMUS Месяц назад

can you share the footage of the shot with the sunset shooting directly into the sun at 11:19 please? I have been recently breaking my BRAW in exactly the same scenario - would love to see if it performs better 🙏 also when it comes to supporting lenses and if you want to know if you need to support it or not I have asked multiple manufacturers and they have all came back with the same line: "if your lens exceeds the weight of the camera body - it should be supported or the lens needs to sit on the tripod and the camera can just be mounted "hanging" on the lens" (so the mount is usually rated to handle the weight of the camera body and not much more. Only because you lock it with a different adapter still dont change the original mount strength in terms of how much stress it can handle, hope that makes sense

@SethDunlap Месяц назад

Yeah so the ProRes can be a little confusing. ProRes in Red’s can only shoot 4K max. But if you set your sensor to 6k 17:9, you’ll use the entire size of your sensor. So “technically” it says 6k, but it’s only 4k. If you set your sensor to 4K, it’ll just crop in.

@EamonGlavin 29 дней назад

I have been debating the Red system for so long but the internal ND's is too so useful for my purposes (constantly switching lenses for shooting sports).

May I ask, I have myself a lot of Contax Zeiss lenses. But which bigger 35-70?? 3.4 ?? lens do you show here lots of times? as well on the C70 and this Red? Is there somewhere a list of lenses? /zeiss contax you have and use? Or can you just write it here down? Thanks and talk some more slower. ;-) Greetings from the Netherlands. 🙂 Onno Nugteren Photography and Film Ah I think it is a Contax Zeiss 35-70 f/3.4 right?

Just get a Blackmagic. It’s optimized for the best NLE DaVinci resolve.

@thomas.kovacik Месяц назад

R3D runs really well tho Plus the minimal setup on the KX is sooo ideal for what I want Blackmagic are solid but I’m not a fan of working with em haha

⁠@@thomas.kovacikmy comment is meant more for your followers who likely can’t afford a red. I would tell these young cinematographers to invest in Lighting, Lenses, & Audio. If they do that then the camera choice won’t matter as much. A 10k budget could start an entire production company rather than just have a camera.

@thomas.kovacik Месяц назад

Of course, a Blackmagic or fx3 or similar will be a rec for those starting out I have a tough time recommending even a c70 or fx6 for beginners haha but yes 1000% lighting, lensing and audio is important to dial in up front

@daynemalan 20 дней назад

Honestly, I think you made a mistake. I have the komodo X with all the bells and whistles and it's been a disappointment. Image quality doesn't exceed FX6, no image stabiliser, no built in nd's. I use the breakthrough VND and battle vignetting. C70 might not have the sexy name but you're gonna miss all that it offers. Image quality is on par for less than half the price.

@daynemalan 20 дней назад

On that note, I'm selling if anyone wants haha
