Dude I’ve been binge watching your channel for a couple of hours now, it is insanely underrated. Amazing stuff. I have a few Sony FX3’s but have my first Komodo on the way now, can’t wait to check it out.
I'm glad this channel exists. Been obsessed with the Komodo lately and wanting to upgrade from my mirrorless cam. (Sony A7iii) BMPCC6K is so much cheaper but just love the colors, gamma curve, global shutter and form factor for gimbals so much more out of the Komodo.
Killer work as always Joey! Just killer. We are loving this combo as well. This with our Segway is perfect for capturing footage for our upcoming skateboarding film ;) 🔥
I have been waiting and waiting for someone to add one of those fine-tune knobs for adjusting the cheese plate. It's a standard feature on steadicams and glidecams.
batman : they do background plate for something like : 1 realtime vfx (LED walls) 2 greenscreen (cars, bikes...) 3 CG objects in real environment with reflexions
The review you give at the very end is insightful not only because of what you’re saying but also showing how the gimbal tracks you. It did a much better job when you were at a slight jog because when you were walking slowly you could feel it ramp up in speed and then slow down which created this jerking motion. I wish it was able to figure out how to do a consistent steady speed with active track
Great combination! Ordered the RS2 combo immediately after it was available. Unfortunately it will take some time for the thing to arrive here in Germany. Great video, good information. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Great review as usual!. Considering getting RS2 for my Komodo… so far been handheld or on sticks… with all the options (DJI 3d focus, Komodo auto focus, Tilta nucleus nano, etc) what setup would you recommend? Seems to be a lot of routes and now a little intimidated haha…I have a lot of Canon photo glass w AF option (24-105f4L, 50mm f1.2L, 24mm 1.4ii L, etc) but also some older Canon manual FD that I prefer w the Komodo. What route would you recommend for setting up a rig? I also like the look of the Tilta advanced ring grip. TIA!
Hey Joey, great review, keep it going, I love your RED Komodo coverage, it helps me through the phase where I'm thinking of ordering one. One question though, can you please make a little review about the SmallHD Focus Pro you are using in this video? I want to buy the whole kit but I want to know if it is worth the money.
Thanks a ton Fabian! I will soon talk about the FocusPro in an upcoming upload. I think my biggest challenge with it is the resolution frankly which makes it hard to focus at times. Definitely explore some options out there :)
@@Joey_Helms Thanks man, looking forward to it. I'm already used to my SmallHD focus, but the posibility of controling the komodo with the screen is very nice thing that the Focus Pro has. It only sucks that you need two cables for the monitor, SDI and Control cable.
great review! amazing in what golden gear era we are living right now! its like a candyshop! also are you from germany or whats the accent? good job! youve got a new subscriber!
Thanks so much Steve :) We have not tried it. I reckon if you strip it down, power it externally, and have a small lens on it should certainly be able to carry it. Though I don't think it will be a great experience, while with the Komodo it is really fun.
absolutely stellar video, as always. really happy I subbed this channel. hey, what cage is that you're using, I like the slim and lightweight setup with channels for support rails! thanks for making these vids, man!!
Thanks a lot! 🤙 Don't use a cage at all. Just GDU Timmy Rips, now I also use the GDU rod handle on the left and the red Komodo handle on the right. In this set up it's the rod from the RS2 for the focus motor.
Great video. But just to defend my city you can get nature in 7 miles of Lincoln Park and 200 acres of Jackson Park. You don't seem to leave downtown much... lol
@@Joey_Helms I’m so excited by this combo! Getting my RS2 this week and thinking about to purchase this Komodo. I always dreamt about having a Red cam but it was to expensive for my work revenues. With this one it could be the key to enter into the red world.
I agree not for big productions. But for goofing around the Komodo and the Ronin 2 is perfect. I wouldn’t say it’s like peanut butter and jelly cause who actually eats that. It’s more like broiled scallops over spaghetti squash!
I just picked up the SC for my Sony! Then I saw the SC 2! But for 270 bucks I’m happy with it. I’m getting used to it but it feels harder to use than my Ronin M. Funny while watching this video my girl said you “Better not spend the money in the bank for Ronin and the Momodo!” I said honey it’s called the Komodo!
The shaking back and forth on longer lenses may be a balance issue! I don't know how the Komodo + Long Lens was balanced, nor have I used an RS2 but this issue comes up on my glidecam when the camera/lens is weighted too far forward. Judging by the bts shots and the comment at the end I think this may be the case. If you bring the counterweights further away from the camera (maybe mount each on a noga arm so they both go around the back support arm?) it should help EDIT: it's clearly a software issue. still though to everyone else, don't forget to balance!
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. It was properly balanced and did only do the shaking head thing when using ActiveTrack. Hence it is clearly a limitation of the tracking system not the balancing.
Maybe a noob question but how does he stay in focus while walking on the stairs in the first shot ? Since it’s a manual camera or was RED’s autofocus on?
I came for the Komodo review but stayed for the RS2. Super excited about both. How were you pulling focus while using the falcon eyes talking to camera?
Hey couple inquires 1. What are you using to add the counter weights to the bottom on the Komodo and 2. What are you using to attract the monitor on the side of the gimbal?
Cheers Daniel! Yup I do :) If you want to go wide, for sure the Tokina 11-20 is absolute killer. And then to complete the set you may want to look into the DZO Pictor Zooms or Fujinon MKs (Duclos Mod). Also those lenses I either own or have tested and a good time with.
@@Joey_Helms thanks for the response 👊🏼 Any thoughts on if I should choose LCD or OLED Small HD Focus Pro??? By the way keep up the excellent work on your TH-cam channel. You’ll be well on your way to 1M subs in no time.
Great content Joey. Do you recommend this gimbal or any other for short film/feature purposes? I recently purchased Komodo and my only reason is to shoot my scripts. The response will be appreciated it. Thanks
Congrats on your Komodo and i think it absolutely does. Tilta is coming out with two handle solutions for the RS2 making it more convenient for longer use.
Cool video again! Thanks! But Komodo's picture quality is .....i dunno...if everybody is blind or im the idiot but there is something really screwed up with the komodo...99% of the footage i found on YT is literally ridiculous. Garbage. All my faith is in you, pls do something amazing with it soon! :)
Thanks! The key component as mentioned is the SDI to HDMI converter (link in description). You power it via the usb ports on the RS2. Lmk if you specific questions.
@@Joey_Helms Du bist einfach nach Amerika/Canada gezogen :D Klingt ja mega chillig... Wie ist das so, wenn man fast gar nicht mehr auf seiner Muttersprache spricht? (sind deine Gedanken überhaupt noch auf Deutsch oder switcht sowas auch?)
What's up man..love the review! We're you able to auto calibrate the focus motor with your cine-lens? If yes,how did you do it? I saw the option pop up once but can't get it again.
Thanks Damian! There is no calibration possible (according to the manual) when using the built in wheel. If you use the old focus wheel that goes on the NATO rail there you can still do the calibration for hard stops. Sucks. I know.
hey man super sweet vid! Quick question- How are you attaching your SDI to HDMI converter box to the bottom of the raven eye box? Is is Velcro or some sort of mount. Asking as someone with literally the exact same set up as you.
Can you do a video on setting up the Komodo with the Raven Eye,. Thanks, I'm confused . i purchased the BM SDI to HDMI converter and SDi to Sdi cable but don't have the other port that says usb power on the Converter. Thanks
Okay I saw it thank you! I think I was better off not knowing, the price is so high! What would you say another lens that gives the same look as the 50-135 2.9 lens? I own the gh5 and I have the cannon mount metabones
Have read other reviews that basically say the RS2 is more trouble then its worth for Komodo users. Also looks like according to your review cinema lenses and their size and weight are some of the main reasons. In light of this if you were def going to be using cinema lenses with a Komodo would Ronin's MX gimbal be a better fit ? Your review and any input would be much appreciated @joeyhelms
Hey Joey! Thanks for posting this. I’m curious about your 11-20 setup on the RS2. I see the counterweights. Did you only need the 2 that were included with the uurig clamp? Which lens mount did you go with for the 11-20? It looks like a canon drop in adapter. Also, 955 or 975 batts? Do you think 975 would have clearance? Did you get full range of motion? Sorry for all the questions. I’m just seriously considering this solution and wanted to get your opinion. Keep up the great work!
Actually depending on if you use the focus motor you can get away with only one counterweight. I have the EF with CANON VND adapter. 975s will VERY likely not have clearance. Cause it is just millimetres with the 955s.
Hey! Respec to you and this nice movie above the new RS2. I want to ask wich Monitor holder do you use? Im looking for one for my Atomos Ninja V in combination with my Z-Cam E2. I had try it with the smallrig magic arm 11" and the secound arm in the 1/4" thread but it wasn't stable anytime. I want to wich one you use, cause it looks realy stable. Thx for your recommendation
Thanks a ton! Really appreciate it! That's the PolarPro arm -> amzn.to/3n7anRI While I didn't have an issue sliding it on the RS2 Nato rail another person had. So it may be hit and miss. Just a heads-up.
I have not tried the Crane 3s, so let the people speak ;) - And yes, I have seen vmount powered komodos on the RS2. I will get the Anton/Bauer Titon Micros soon, so I can try it myself.
hi there, thanks for sharing so cool videos, i just dowloaded your footage tests , and noticed in some shots a lot of grain in low light situations , so what would you tell me about this , highly appreciated you feedback , and also one shot - when u are shooting leaves backlight - i used stabilization , and it just didnot work to remove handheld shaking, so what about this topic ? RED is saying and promoting that its so easy in post production to stibilize shots , but in reality it didnot work, thanks again and waiting for your feedback , it should be mentioned again that you are doing so cool content and work , thanks
Can you power your SDI micro-converter off the Ronin and also plug the 3D focus and focus motor in all at the same time? It seems like there is one missing power port to be able to run the micro-converter with the full setup. So I'm wondering if, unless you have another tap somewhere on the camera to power something if the Komodo's lack of HDMI makes it a difficult combo to utilize the full RS2 system.
I am still waiting for the 3D focus but by the looks it is actually chained between gimbal and focus motor so it doesn't add the need for an additional port.
Hi I don’t know if you remember my comment of your first video on the Komodo I purchased one I got my storm trooper I came from the canon 6d MK II I just sold all my gear and waiting on batteries and I just received my Dji rs2 in today I both boxes are still sealed I have not opened nothing I’m looking for a lens any suggestions watching your videos really inspired me to go all out and do what I love and thanks for these videos hopefully Ill get my channel up and running soon I know I’m going to be watching your videos over and over again when setting up my camera thanks again
Thanks mate and congrats on the combo ;) Not sure how you can withstand the curiosity and not open the boxes. Have at it man! :D - As for lenses, look into the DZO Pictor Zooms or Fujinon MKs (Duclos mod). Those are popular choices for the Komodo. Tried both, dig them both.
Frankly, not as much as one would think. It's all about the right workflow, proper exposure, and having some nice LUTS as a starting point. For these videos it's a lot about efficiency for me too.
@@Joey_Helms Thats amazing. but now im wondering what kind of LUTS u use for the starting point. And do you also shoot with IPP2 with the Komodo. Hope i can get an answer to this. :)
Yup I am following IPP2. Using the RED rec 709 conversion LUTs or a Alexa conversion LUT. Both as starting points and then go into fine tweaking and look.
Have a question. How did you attach micro converter to raven eye? Doublesided tape? Thanks! It was so informative that i bought the converter right after watching this video. Super great contents!
Criminally underrated channel!
Thanks mate 🤙
Dude I’ve been binge watching your channel for a couple of hours now, it is insanely underrated. Amazing stuff. I have a few Sony FX3’s but have my first Komodo on the way now, can’t wait to check it out.

Same here man!
😂😂 tell me about it. It's all my 2020 travel money invested in gear now ;)
@@Joey_Helms what kind of VND filter would you recommend for the Komodo??

In light of this if you were def going to be using cinema lenses with a Komodo would Ronin's MX gimbal be a better fit ? Your review and any input would be much appreciated @joeyhelms
That was sick ! 1+ sub
Thanks so much Nick!
Hey Joey! Thanks for posting this. I’m curious about your 11-20 setup on the RS2. I see the counterweights. Did you only need the 2 that were included with the uurig clamp?
Which lens mount did you go with for the 11-20? It looks like a canon drop in adapter. Also, 955 or 975 batts? Do you think 975 would have clearance? Did you get full range of motion?
Sorry for all the questions. I’m just seriously considering this solution and wanted to get your opinion. Keep up the great work!
Actually depending on if you use the focus motor you can get away with only one counterweight.
I have the EF with CANON VND adapter. 975s will VERY likely not have clearance. Cause it is just millimetres with the 955s.
Hey! Respec to you and this nice movie above the new RS2. I want to ask wich Monitor holder do you use? Im looking for one for my Atomos Ninja V in combination with my Z-Cam E2. I had try it with the smallrig magic arm 11" and the secound arm in the 1/4" thread but it wasn't stable anytime.
I want to wich one you use, cause it looks realy stable.
Thx for your recommendation
Thanks a ton! Really appreciate it!
That's the PolarPro arm -> amzn.to/3n7anRI
While I didn't have an issue sliding it on the RS2 Nato rail another person had. So it may be hit and miss. Just a heads-up.
DJ RS2 or Crane 3s? What’s people thoughts on this? Can you actually put a red Komodo with focus motor and Vlocks on it?
I have not tried the Crane 3s, so let the people speak ;) - And yes, I have seen vmount powered komodos on the RS2. I will get the Anton/Bauer Titon Micros soon, so I can try it myself.
@@Joey_Helms sweet awesome thanks dude would love to see it hopefully has good clearance
Will keep you all posted here or on IG
@@Joey_Helms thanks dude
hi there, thanks for sharing so cool videos, i just dowloaded your footage tests , and noticed in some shots a lot of grain in low light situations , so what would you tell me about this , highly appreciated you feedback , and also one shot - when u are shooting leaves backlight - i used stabilization , and it just didnot work to remove handheld shaking, so what about this topic ? RED is saying and promoting that its so easy in post production to stibilize shots , but in reality it didnot work, thanks again and waiting for your feedback , it should be mentioned again that you are doing so cool content and work , thanks
Can you power your SDI micro-converter off the Ronin and also plug the 3D focus and focus motor in all at the same time? It seems like there is one missing power port to be able to run the micro-converter with the full setup. So I'm wondering if, unless you have another tap somewhere on the camera to power something if the Komodo's lack of HDMI makes it a difficult combo to utilize the full RS2 system.
I am still waiting for the 3D focus but by the looks it is actually chained between gimbal and focus motor so it doesn't add the need for an additional port.
Hey! What did you buy to mount your tablet on your RS2? Good Video anyways!
Thanks! I am using a PolarPro arms and then fairly cheap tablet holder from Amazon. Nothing special.
@@Joey_Helms thanks for your answer Bro!!
Can you guys please show me how you connected the SDI/HDMI to the raven eye and camera?
When using the RoninRS2....how well does the Komoda software work when not using active track?
Hi I don’t know if you remember my comment of your first video on the Komodo I purchased one I got my storm trooper I came from the canon 6d MK II I just sold all my gear and waiting on batteries and I just received my Dji rs2 in today I both boxes are still sealed I have not opened nothing I’m looking for a lens any suggestions watching your videos really inspired me to go all out and do what I love and thanks for these videos hopefully Ill get my channel up and running soon I know I’m going to be watching your videos over and over again when setting up my camera thanks again
And sorry what I meant about suggesting a lens I meant a cine lens something affordable for a first time thanks again
Thanks mate and congrats on the combo ;) Not sure how you can withstand the curiosity and not open the boxes. Have at it man! :D - As for lenses, look into the DZO Pictor Zooms or Fujinon MKs (Duclos mod). Those are popular choices for the Komodo. Tried both, dig them both.
How much effort do you put in grading these footage sequences? They look amazing
Frankly, not as much as one would think. It's all about the right workflow, proper exposure, and having some nice LUTS as a starting point. For these videos it's a lot about efficiency for me too.
@@Joey_Helms honestly that was the answer I was hoping for as it means that it is really just an amazing camera
@@Joey_Helms Thats amazing. but now im wondering what kind of LUTS u use for the starting point. And do you also shoot with IPP2 with the Komodo. Hope i can get an answer to this. :)
Yup I am following IPP2. Using the RED rec 709 conversion LUTs or a Alexa conversion LUT. Both as starting points and then go into fine tweaking and look.
Have a question. How did you attach micro converter to raven eye? Doublesided tape? Thanks! It was so informative that i bought the converter right after watching this video. Super great contents!
With a Velcro sticker. ;)
@@Joey_Helms thanks!
Hello. Great review! Any idea if raven eye is capable of sending signal to more than one device?
