We loved our time shooting with the KOMODO-X and can't wait to get ours! Let us know what you think down below!!

It looks like it fixes a lot of my gripes with the original Komodo, which is great. That said, I feel like the point of the Komodo is to be an "affordable" entry into the Red ecosystem, but this starting at $10k for just the brain, I think might be too much for a lot of people to give it a try.

RED will literally release a whole new camera before simply issuing a firmware update to get the current gen cameras (V-Raptor/Komodo) up to the functionality of the past gen cameras. Like... let us play our footage backwards during review. Let us loop footage. Let us change the speed of the footage. Make it so it doesn't take 10 seconds to switch from live view to playback view, etc. Fix stuff first. Then new cameras.

Well....waiting for a Blackmagic camera in cube format xD agree with the comments below, RED did not understand the main reason for the popularity of KOMODO: it was a really good budget movie camera, but $10K 😴

Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? Time to buy a used Alexa Mini

Hum, I not quite sure about this one. I LOVE my Komodo, but a 4K$ difference is HUGE and I don't really understand why. I feel like RED realized they could reach a lot more customers by offering an entry level camera like the Komodo and think they will still sell a ton of the Komodo-X, but with a much higher profit margin.

Legit one of the first channels I wished had it on game day and you did! Always full of surprises MVP I mean CVP

As an OG Komodo owner (just bought it 10 weeks ago) I’m excited. Really happy to see RED pushing the sub 10-12k market forward. I just wish there was a 5 monitor that worked with the original Komodo.

Thats a big price jump for what is essentially higher frame rate options….
We are at a point where there is little to be improved with regard to ‘image quality’. Most higher end cams these days have that covered for all practical purposes.
So features need to improve to justify the next purchase and im not sure this does it

[ndavies]

Kinda feel like this is what the original should have been. I also thought frame rates were gonna be improved via firmware update. $10k just seems like a lot for updates that they had technology for years ago (USB C, higer frame rates)

[mitchforteclassic]

10k? Im not sure that pricetag is justified 👀

7:04 Facetracking is also available on Komodo since several updates before

[KONDORBLUE]

Great info, per usual Jake! The Kondor Blue top and side plates will work with the Komodo-X. Future Komodo/Komodo-X baseplates will be able to work with both body types. We are working on adaptations to our side plates as well it be able to receive the E-ND M4 bolts as well. Stay tuned 🦅💙

It's worth it for someone who haven't get the original Komodo. For those who have the original, I understand the frustration.

[Itsmattbane]

Great video. Excellent work, per usual. It would be cool to see a comparison video between the KX and the V-Raptor 35.

[RedBlackFilms]

No matter what anyone says, I bet the sensor is identical to OG, just better processor.

[JonPais]

Great review, Jake. Faster black shading, faster, more robust media, higher frame rates, better audio, ProRes 4444XQ, 1080p over Red Control app, improved DR in shadows, more extensive I/O, locking RF mount all make the X a very compelling package! I’m guessing it’ll also receive loads of FW updates that make it even more attractive.

[erelando]

And here I am still waiting for DSMC2 final firmware My Scarlet-W is also fantastic!

[_F.]

Looks like a great little upgrade. As an original Komodo user I was worried I'm already behind.. but luckily the upgrades are as I said.. little. Phew. I'm also not a fan of the Raptor look..reminds me of 8k TVs, so all in all, I've got the right one for my particular taste.

[MonigMedia]

The law of diminishing returns is strong with this one.
