I freaking love my KX. It has been my favorite camera I've ever owned. It is in the sweet spot for owner/op.

[tombuck]

I saw a crazy dude carrying one of these at a convention recently.

[AlexLay]

Komodo has been a gamechanger for me and my work and im not thinking about replacing it yet, but the X and the extra juice are tempting.

[AlexSasikaran]

Ordered it last week, so pumped to film with it!

[anthonyrock]

Loving my og Komodo. I will use it and stretch every mm out of it. R3D files global shutter proper exposure, good cinema glass and ACES workflow for fx stuff and other cameras.. It is fantastic, simple and versatile.

[ShazammtheProducer]

Sir this video makes no sense it just came out

[FilmFlab]

Komodo X is a brilliant camera… that Red overpriced. If they released it at $6000, it would probably have dominated the market.

This camera will get a second wind when people buy them used in 3-5 years and realize how great they are.

[onimar]

Still haven't found any camera that even touches this camera in the price bracket.

[earnieboy]

Honestly I’m getting tired of this type of content. The answer is yes for just about every camera post 2015. At this point these just feel like infomercials and ads.

[TotalRADandMORE]

Yo I know this may not be a huge surprise to anyone with a gopro but I slapped a 12mm lens on my KX and tried the gyro stabilization in post and I might throw my ronin in the trash. It was AMAZING and this gyroflo program is FREE?!

This camera keeps blowing my mind a year later.

[initialfocus]

Makin me miss global shutter man! its sooo good 😭

[remscape]

The Red Komodo X was my first RED. I was able to get my hands on the last stormtrooper body from B&H and I still have no regrets. It's a fun camera to work with, it's small enough to be great for run and gun (even solo) shoots and R3D is definitely worth the hype. I am VERY curious what the future holds with Nikon acquiring RED (especially since I have a ton of Canon RF lenses).

I have an fx3 and use a Komodo we have at work 😢

[luucamNY]

im looking to pick a komodo used knowing that now some used ones will hit the market cause some people will be picking up the komodo X

[jatyrenbutler]

Can you do a video of Canon R5C vs Nikon z8? I’m looking into getting a R5C and seen talk about the Nikon

[topicruben]

It IS my favorite camera as well. I will never sell it to buy any other camera, if I had one, not even for financial reasons!

[avx]

I think a Z mount refresh bundled with an E mount adapter would make it a better deal. Global shutter is a gimmick for most use cases and doesn't warrant a 10k price tag, "wow look the helicopter blades don't bend" nobody cares!

[gwmaniac]

do you know if this works without the phone app now?

[contentm]

I think the argument can be made for having the Z9/Z8 or FX3 and get around the large R3D file size while having AF and IBIS. I don't think the people jumping to the KX did themselves any favors. It's two different ways to. shut. I'm not sold on the A9III global shutter and the dynamic range it produces. I would rather have the A1 and go with that and the Komodo X. r growth the OG K or KX and the DJI focus system. That DJI focus system gives new life to the KX and OG Komodo.

[TheRonellCross]

Still worth using and keeping, but not worth $10k. If I owned one I wouldn't feel any need to upgrade.
