I see @Tyleredwards and some other happy Komodo fun and of course I had to be here as well, lol. Great video, man and loved that intro too. I know this is an old one, but I try to keep learning about this machine. I currently use the bmpcc 6k Pro and I'm. happy with it, but the more I watch videos about the RED Komodo the more I want it, so I just have to save some 💶 and make the move. Thanks and congratulations!
I like the compare video of the Komodo vs Canon C70. The image was so close. But with all the "extras" on the Canon... I'll stay with my C70. Komodo would be a close second especially since I have all RF lenses and Canon Batteries.
Important to know if you're shooting in the cold: The Red Komodo operating range is 0-40 degrees Celsius (that's 32-104 Fahrenheit). My Komodo did not record at cold temperatures (was shooting Snowy Owls in the Canadian winter, and the trip was a disaster). The Canon R5 had no problems whatsoever, but I love the RED look and it was very disappointing. Was misled by media reports of the Komodo being tested in harsh winter conditions. Always read the fine print before buying. Media reviews and ads are just not good enough.
@@pauleporterdp Well, it was quite cold, -16C, but I've shot with the Red Raven without problems at -20C. The V mount battery and REDMAG cards are more robust I guess, and the larger brains generate more heat. The Komodo generates very little heat.
Just because there already is so much confusion out there. The sdi issue has nothing to do with the state of the komodo. You need to have battery / power connected to both your sdi accessories and camera before connecting the sdi cable or removing the cable + have your sdi accessory turned on. Also this has nothing to do with the Komodo, it happens with Arri's and other cameras with SDI as well.
Wait so I knew i needed to have them both powered on before connecting. But I need to disconnect them with both of them having the power on as well? I normally just power down the camera all together along before disconnecting? Have I been doing this wrong?
@@DickieisSupaCool Leave the monitor on and then disconnect the cable. Preferably from the camera side. Wether the camera is on or off doesn't matter as long as batteries/power is connected.
Yep. It's a problem for all cameras with 12G SDI connections. The BNC was not designed for the amount of data being pushed now and the electronics are very delicate. Use 12G cables (the central pin is slightly smaller and the cable construction is different). The danger comes with making and breaking power connections. It's possible for power and battery connectors (particularly DTAP) to connect the +ve before the -ve/earth and just for an instant the camera can earth via any BNC connection. This is what hurts the electronics. Just ALWAYS disconnect the camera side SDI BNC when changing batteries, plugging in DTAPs or other power cables. Powering things on or off should NOT be a problem if everything is connected. There was a problem on the first Komodo run because people were using standard BNC connections. The larger centre pin was stretching the centre hole on the 12G SDI BNC connector on the camera. This meant that occasional shorts were possible. RED have strengthened the central BNC receiver hole to alleviate that but you should ALWAYS use 12G specific BNC cables. Please correct if I have made any errors.
@@gordonhatusupy2224 Hi, I don't use V mount and never disconnect any cable while the camera is on. I only do that when I need to pack it in a bag. At which point, the camera and monitor are already off. Does it matter then in which order I power off the monitor or the Komodo? Another thing is hot swapping batteries. I don't think it has any effect on the sdi port, right? Last question is when the monitor's battery runs out, then I should disconnect the sdi first, change battery, reconnect the sdi, and only then turn the monitor back on right? Thank you very much for answering these questions.
I haven’t got any issues. But it’s not me other cameras have the same problem eg pocket and hdmi when using high voltage batteries such as vmount I think it’s just the principle of the electricity
Due to the high voltage when powering on and off can cause a „fried“ sdi port. This is especially important when using v Mount or ac power. It has IR Cut filters but when using higher ND above 6 Stops it lets some IR through. Not nearly as bad as bmpcc but something to be aware of.
Shame about the SDI port issue, I would never expect that from RED, and if I were asked who's camera has that issue I'd say maybe z cam or MAYBE black magic lol.
@@pauleporterdp feels like there should be protection for that built in. I did some searching around and it looks like it's not isolated to the Komodo though and is actually an industry wide issue. Shame about your hdmi ports, ouch :)
Dear Paule, how well do you think sony A7SIII can stand against Kommodo? Especially when ur on tight budget. I know both systems are unique, One is 4k another 6k but still will it be worthy?
The highlight Roll-off and how Komodo renders an image looks very filmic. You can’t compare that to a mirrorless camera since they all look very digital.
It really depends on the project. If I’m working on a project where the client wants to have a clean look then no but anything where it makes sense I use it
@@dna8269 the limited frame rate on the Komodo is a deal killer. The whole thing ridged up is about 10k and all of that for 40fps? I do commercial work and short films so I need something that can do both. The bmpcc 4k gives me that balance with a good range and it only cost $1500. Blackmagic will release a new camera with the same specs as the Komodo but with higher frame rates and global shutter for about 5k within the next few months. The Komodo is a good camera but is not worth 5k.
Stoked on mine! Also, that intro was awesome!
Thanks Tyler. Looking forward to see your Footage you gonna capture with Komodo :)
Man that shot of the Porsche alone makes me want one.
Thanks Benn. Yes it’s a great camera with lots of potential :)

Thanks mate 😎 the 6k pro is definitely a great camera 😗 I would recommend to rent the caves first to see if you like it 😎
Thank you so much. It was a very informative video. Well done
Thank you I’m glad it helped you
I LOVE mine. I have always had an eye for motion, and nothing beats that global shutter.
Yes I totally agree :)
Thanks for your input. Subscribed

@@pauleporterdp Do those jupio batteries work with c70 as well?
Great video Paule and great camera of course. :)
Thanks man I’m glad that you liked the video
What a great Camera :) thanks for your honest opinion :)
Thanks for watching and I’m glad that you liked the Komodo video :)
Keep growing your channel bro.. wish you success 👌

Wow ok how many degrees it had at that time?

I am probably waiting for komodo v2 becayse I recently biught a7siii, maybe they will have fixed the issue by then

Thanks for watching mate
I'm seeing complaints on the Komodo FB group about the SDI issue, even for people who follow the proper way of unplugging the SDI cables.
I haven’t got any issues. But it’s not me other cameras have the same problem eg pocket and hdmi when using high voltage batteries such as vmount I think it’s just the principle of the electricity
The footage of you sitting on the sofa which camera did you use there? the blackmagic or the komod or r6?
Neither of them that was the Z Cam F6. I sold the bmpcc a year ago and bought the F6.
wait what? SDI ports break when you don't unplug the cable? It also doesn't have IRC filters? geez
Due to the high voltage when powering on and off can cause a „fried“ sdi port. This is especially important when using v Mount or ac power.
It has IR Cut filters but when using higher ND above 6 Stops it lets some IR through. Not nearly as bad as bmpcc but something to be aware of.
@@pauleporterdp really don't understand why people choose this camera over the C70 or FX6 :D. Thanks for that review
You’re welcome. For me it was the global shutter and R3D Codec. ;)
Have you used the Red Komodo link adapter, my friend? I have heard it is a great accessory but not reviewed often.
Hello, no I haven’t unfortunately ☺️ but I’m sure it is great
Thanks for the video, did you use dsmc2 cameras? if yes then does the komodo has same image quality or you see the difference (image quality wise)
I’ve worked with helium and Gemini a lot. The image of the Komodo is totally on point with the other ones. Thanks for watching
Hi. What accessories do you have on yours? Screen etc
Check the video about my rig

Hey Paule. How are you doing? How much run time do you get with the jupio batteries?
Hello I’m doing great thanks.
With the big jupios I get around 2 hours with one battery
Shame about the SDI port issue,
I would never expect that from RED, and if I were asked who's camera has that issue I'd say maybe z cam or MAYBE black magic lol.
This has to do with the voltage. My hdmi port was fried on my bmpcc for that reason
@@pauleporterdp feels like there should be protection for that built in.
I did some searching around and it looks like it's not isolated to the Komodo though and is actually an industry wide issue.
Shame about your hdmi ports, ouch :)
What monitor are you using with the Komodo?
Thanks for watching 👍🏻 The smallhd Focus Pro.

@@pauleporterdp i see.. to a normal person like me I couldn’t make much of a difference between the both systems. What your saying is true though. 👍🏻
Do you use diffusion filters for most of your Komodo work or no?
It really depends on the project. If I’m working on a project where the client wants to have a clean look then no but anything where it makes sense I use it
@@pauleporterdp what portable monitor do you recommend currently for Komodo?
I prefer the bmpcc 4k
Thanks for watching and your feedback :)
