Sorry to be a grammar natsee but I've noticed you do this so many times I jsut have to say something. "Keep something into perspective." You don't keep something into something else. You bring something into focus. You keep something IN perspective. Keep it in perspective.
👌🏼
Well said ... Funny: I have a new FX6 coming on Tuesday (which I chose for MY workflow) ... but I absolutely agree with what you say. Bravo for Komodo and your approach :)
great work. Love what you are doing. You have been extremely helpful in our new Red purchase and build.
awesome!
Love your channel. This is a great video!
Thanks!
Makes me more interested now in the red Komodo, great video thanks
Thank you for this 🙂
Thanks. Very useful. Also you get the size.
This is a lovely video... It would be great if you could test out the Komodo with any of the Canon FF primes and the RF-EF speedbooster from Canon once it's out there (maybe something like the 50 1.4 EF or 85 1.8 EF?)
Thanks for keeping it real. My last MV, I shot with minimal setup also (Sony A7S3, 1 G Master Zoom Lens, a gimbal, and a Ninja Atomos V. I would love to see some sample work/footage from your setup.
check out my instagram instagram.com/kiddtech or my website: www.justinphillip.net
Your videos got way better!!
lol Thanks!
thanks for this. Just got my komodo. What do you recommend for data storage? Also any drives you suggest that are good enough to edit from?
Yupp! Stay tuned for next weeks video! All about post workflow
I'd love to get your take on why nearly evvvvery video on UA-cam talking about the Red Komodo has a disproportionate amount of dislikes. Do people just hate the camera or the brand or...?
Nice video as usual. 👏👏👏🤜🤛
🙏🏼
Nice video 👍 Please tell me about kippertie RF>EF. Is autofocus works good ? Is it heavy ?
Very good point on not having big Cfast cards!!! Thanks, man
Thnx Justin! A question for battery solution for the Phone? If i dont want to add a power bank to charge an iphone 12 or S21 samsung, how else i can keep things minimal and still be able to charge my phone? Thank you.
2021: Let’s keep things in perspective
new here, video was really great, lot of information to be processed by my little brain now :p
Like and comment just for the media workflow! YES! --- coming from a workflow producer/colorist
Thanks! 😆
😂 the price of the iPhone is more expensive than all your other accessories. Love it!
Awesome thank you so much
Thank you!
I guess I’ll start saving for my Red Komodo.
thank you. need to not spend my whole budget on camera. this answers my questions :)
nice, wait till you see what we have in store for the Komodo
YES! I’m sure it will be stellar. I got my eyes on that newest Tangerine matte box right now.
Why did red choose to use the older canon batteries? Is the stock problem because they're older and probably not being mass produced like the new ones used in the c70?
I appreciate the video! I’m curious if you would still recommend this camera to those looking to upgrade from the blackmagic workflow? There are many things you exemplified in your video (Dolly, tripod, wireless monitor, gimbal, etc.), but would you say the KOMODO is more important than those accessories when doing narrative work? Thanks!
The most important thing is the lighting 💡
@@JustinPhillip Definitely, thank you for your advice! Well earned like and sub.
Wassabi batteries (NPF970 and LPE6) are really really good from my experience
Hi Justin! How did you secure the lens mount there?
Thank you!
I like the quote from the beginning
Blueshape does make 955s, I have a pair of them.
A sony fx6 is a much better buy but i love the look of red footage so much. It pops like no other camera and i love the colors.
I feel like I’m in the matrix with that intro!
🤣🤣
Wooow thank you!! Quick question, do I need a special mount for Cannon lenses ?
no, komodo comes with EF adapter
Best camera I've ever worked with. UA-camrs make this camera weight 10kg, but its a perfect handheld light camera. But youtubers will youtube with their gear addiction.
😂
It’s also possible to buy a used red for around 6k from eBay with everything needed to shoot if you don’t just want the Komodo but want the larger ones
older REDs are proprietary though. In regards to media and AKS. but true, they are very cheap now. But the Komodo beats a lot of the older REDs, specifically the Scarlet & Dragon
HI Justin. You are the best regarding tipps & tricks for Komodo. Which is the best iphone size for the komodo ?
I think any of them are fine really
@@JustinPhillip i'm thinking about 13 mini. what is your average battery stamina time with your iphone using the red app along the shooting ?
You only introduced the top nato, what about the left and the right and the bottom of the cage?
Love your intro . You gotta Dana carvey vibe
Justin, this is the video I've been wanting for a long time. Preach to the choir brother, preach! It's like no one has budget constraints on the Gram it seems. Ha ha ha ha. Just one question, ¿can you put the GDU monitor mount on top of the smallRig NATO side handle? I just worry that the SmallRig mount is not sturdy. And I know the point is to keep things affordable and simple, but that's something I wouldn't mind splurging on. Thanks again for the vid.
the gdu monitor mount just bolts to the top of the komodo. So you wouldnt be able to go NATO
@@JustinPhillip Yeah, I suspected that was the case. Thanks.
I got cheap bp955 batteries and for sure not approved by Komodo, it’s about 15 usd each and it works fine. Ard 1 hr 20 mins run time per piece. Bought it from alibaba in China, so yea, any 955 will work. Theres a company in China making 50 wh bp955s (25% more than canon original ones) for abt 40 usd, I’m gonna try that one and see the run time.
Yeah I’m using non approved batteries and memory cards too
Yes Im not alone haha, I really hate how every other youtuber says you need 10-12k to get a komodo running. Now somebody tells the truth! Nice Video :D
Well well, don`t run with one big cfast card only. In my opinion you need at least 2 cards and should also do a back up when a card is full. Especially when you work for large clients.
yeah i have four angelbirds in constant rotation. Client has two drives, i have my ssd for backup, plus i get ProRes proxies on the HDR Video Assist 👊🏼
why do people always sleep on canon built in nd adapter, that thing is super great
Whats the name of the song in ur into!? That into is beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! i thought i put the song in the description somewhere…its from ArtList
@@JustinPhillip you should make short movies all action packed like that lol its entertaining
JUSTIN THE GOAT ....I SAID IT
😅🙌🏼
Nice Vid, Subb'd
With all the awesome stuff there is with RED cameras.....I hate that they only have one memory card. As rare as a failure is supposed to be, I know 3 people in 2022 who lost data for not having backups. It's hard for me to use any camera with only single slot memory after being spoiled by Sony.
Keeping things to perspective… the eBay universe can come to the rescue and slash a grand of that 6980… thanks to the new completion from meike andoer niceyrig magicrig andthensome
Love you rig options thought… thanks
About the black side profiles? Still smallrig?
The what?
@@JustinPhillip i mean the black parts on the sides of Komodo, it's not a cage but something on by the screws...
@@antonioderosa521 oh mine are 8SINN
I heard that there is a monitor that can control komodo wirelessly. It seems to be specially made for komodo. Does anyone know?
Its brand seems to be called PORTKEYS, and its model seems to be BM5 WR. If you have used it, please tell me, how does it feel to use it with komodo?
I want to buy one and try it recently, thank you!
Objective number 1 get $6,000 haha
Dumb question - do you break down your rig to put the camera on a gimbal? I tend to avoid larger rigs because I don't want to have to take it all apart to put on a gimbal
yeah strip it all the way down, i leave the cage on , but thats about it.
This camera is not for Hobbyist unless your super rich? 🤔.
Me: Occupation Welder
New Addiction: learning about film and cinematography.
Current gear: Sony A6500
Current shoots: kids home videos.
Want: Komodo 6K!
can I afford it, Yes. do I need it No. Do i wants it, Yes.
Advice I give myself, In life you work in order to get what makes you happy. What's the point of making 6 figures if your not enjoying it. And I'm also 40 I'm not getting any Younger to enjoy these toys. Lol. But no, this is too much for me I'll probably just get Sony A7IV or BMPCC.
yeah i agree! Do what you want! we dont live forever!!
I own a Red Komodo. You need sound. And frankly you need a separate sound recorder. There is no way around this, unless you’re doing music videos or a commercial advertisement with narration.
(And Watson BP-915s work if you are going absolutely minimalist for weight. $30 each.)
i have Sound Devices MixPre3, what do you use?
So there is no sound input into the camera? Meaning you have to sync the audio and video in post?
@@johnaart There is a 3.5mm input, it is not the best. It is ok, but nothing I would use for a top level production. It also has a mic for scratch.
Essentially, yes, you’ll be syncing in post.
@@johnaart The Komodo has both internal mic and a 3.5mm mic jack
@@christianjadot4459 The 3.5mm input is good enough for standard local commercials and basic company videos going on the web. You'd want better if doing higher quality gigs (cinema etc....) but if you 're shooting 4000-6000 videos that are going on the web anyways it's good enough.
I like the intro 😂 i thought its a movie or something
says not for hobbiest, then builds the most hobbiest rig
If someone is looking on youtube, instead of themselves, and what THEY need, on rigging out a komodo, then they probably shouldn't upgrade yet.
Red Komodo work with atomos ninja 5
It should of been made CF Express instead of CFast.
😂🙈
Not a fan of AF as well
It amazes me that all these filmmaking and camera centred channels seem to literally ALL consistently under expose their videos. Did this not look dark to you when you were editing it? Still a good video otherwise.
I personally don’t like it
That or too flat
Great video but I think we all need to look at it as a whole. The camera itself in my opinion is very much overpriced. If it had a different brand name, I don't think it will get a second look from most people. I do not think the Komodo is by any means an entry level cinema camera ESPECIALLY when you compare it to Blackmagic or Z Cam. The cost of rigging for professional frequent use is closer to $3000 (minus RF lenses) but you add $3000 to the going price on eBay - $8-9k and you're spending $11k for a camera that does not have IBIS or internal ND. I just feel like that money can be spent elsewhere for comparable or better results. Personally I will rather spend that for a Canon or Sony. Just my opinion.
To say that Z-Cam & Blackmagic are in the same category as RED would be like saying a Lexus is the same as a Mercedes. The reality is, a Lexus is still a Toyota under the hood. 👊🏼
so much bla bla bla.... what about editing this to 3min and saying the same?!
