The new camera in the Komodo line isn’t a replacement but a production-ready middle ground.
The RED Komodo was created to be a stunt camera. Perhaps even a C-Camera to the flagship RED V-Raptor. Yet it was so affordable everyone jumped at the chance to own some RED tech.
But the Komodo was never built to output the necessities of high-end production. That never stopped creatives from trying or using it on those same high-end productions beyond their originally intended use case. The RED Komodo-X aims to change that while keeping the camera equally affordable.
Resolution and Speed
According to RED, the new camera packs a completely new sensor architecture with an updated pixel design that will improve image detail and color in the shadows.
While the size will remain Super 35 and have the same 19.9MP layout, thanks to an upgrade to the processing power, the new global shutter sensor will output 6K at 80 fps and 4K at 120 fps, a nice bump from its smaller sibling.
