Love global shutter improving, getting global shutter without impacting noise affecting DR, ISO, colors is so wanted. The Komodo looks so cute. RF Mount is a weird choice; e-mount has much more lenses, especially for APS-C / Super35 size
I still want to do some more tests of the global shutter. It’s one of those things that has been hyped for a decade but we rarely see any samples of why it matters
Tyler Stalman I feel it in the footage. It’s why I chose to shoot on digital Bolex for several shoots back in the day. Has a cinematic feel that’s truly special! Can’t wait to see your results bro
Dave!! man, watching this made me so happy. Congrats to you man...you obviously deserve it. So happy to see you absolutely crushing it. And thanks for this awesome review! -Mick (fellow film crew @ STORY 2018)
Absolutely! Go make stuff with what you got! Gather round your friends and family and make films on you phone, or whatever you go laying around. Learn composition, storytelling, lighting, editing. These are all things that have a minimal buy in and can serve you well into your career!
@@WesleyProductions I started out learning the wrong software (Windows Movie maker, lol). For editing, coloring, and anything you need, download Davinci Resolve (It's free!!). This is a major part of actual productions. Looks overwhelming, but lots of tutorials online on how to get you through it and start playing around on it.
100% start filming with your friends as soon as possible in your backyard because you won't always have the free time or friends haha. The sooner you learn the better you will be by the time you're my age. Also when you're just a kid don't be afraid to buy used gear... with magic lantern you can even get 5k raw on a used EOS M for 150$. So even if your mom doesn't want to buy you a fancy professional camera thats something even a kid can save up and afford
Would love to see a full comparison between this and the Z Cam F6. I just did a comparison against my buddy's Gemini and Helium and was very impressed.
Amazing job on the review! This camera is the first to actually make me genuinely excited about new camera releases. I’m really thinking about picking this up when it’s released.
Probably will never get one. But it’s amazing. It’s one of those cameras that is just beyond your reach but close enough to you that it hurts not to be able to get it hahahahaha. I love it.
Indy Mogul I would love to see some reviews for the new blackmagic camera when it comes out! A review of the new aputure lights coming out would be sick too!
This Camera can pay for itself especially if your using it for business. Hello business write off🎉 Investing in the evolution and the duplicity of its use can allow me to go from inside the classroom to the high impact outdoor filming that I need. This Red Komodo Camera is just what I may need to set myself apart from others in my industry.. It screams professional 🤩 Thank you Dave for the great educational review and inspiration. Congratulations Sir on your first of many videos with Indy Mogul. Stay DMazing #globalshutter #redkomodo #feelingsmarter #squarespace💗#davemaze
So outside of the global shutter and brand name, is there a reason to spend 3x the amount of BMPCC 6k on the Komodo? Would love to see a 3-way shootout between the Komodo, BMPCC 6k, and Z-Cam E2-S6
Color science seems to be better to me. R3D is a wonderful raw codec that is supported everywhere. Global shutter is one of a kind in this small form factor and affordable price-point. Has phase detect AF that works pretty dang good and will get better. Best app integration I have ever used.... LOTS to compare here that make the Komodo one of a kind.
How do you film outside in the sunlight using a red camera? How do you get rid of the sun glare on the screen? I tried 3rd party sun hoods but none of them seem to fit well on my red.
GREAT WORK on the Deep Dive podcast episode on RED Cameras fellas 👍👍 Am leaving the comment here since I can't figure out how to write e review on iTunes (so odd that it'd be this hard while using an iPhone??
Great review of the camera! Definitely going to rent one of these and consider moving from Sony. Question - what is your reasoning for shooting at 40fps? Is that for effect? Because cinema projection is still 24, and US TV distro is still at 29.97. Unless you're only shooting for youtube?
Good review. Keep it up! Was nice to se some continues autofocus action in there. Wish I had that. Perhaps in dsmc3. Hoping we could use the gyroscope for post stabilizing etc.
This looks like a great option for anyone who hasn't really invested into any certain camera brand. Love how they had the Canon integration as that what most people start off with so upgrading to this camera just makes sense. Would love to see RED come out with a better auto focus in future updates. This camera would be great to take this on wedding shoots with me though if the auto focus ain't there I don't think this will be an investment for me. Still, its really awesome to see red reaching into this market. Can't wait to see what they come up with next. Great video and great review.
A few years ago this cam would have super excited me, but I've gone so far into Sony land it wouldn't make any kind of financial sense. I'm also super used to internal ND and XLR etc. It is fascinating to see this from RED though. It's nice they're tapping into the mid-tier market and competing with companies like Zcam and Kinefinity who basically started out as poor man's RED cams. Very interesting year for cameras.
Totally understand where you're coming from and appreciate the comment. All prosumer cameras these days are amazing. Make awesome stuff with what you got! These gear reviews aren't always for people who are interested in buying them... they are in a way their own form of entertainment. That's how we see it anyways.. We shot most the B-Roll in this video on a Canon 6D Mkii in 1080p. Doesn't matter really. Just trying to make entertaining content about filmmaking!
@@indymogul nice! I totally get that. I'm always entertained by reviews for cameras I know I'm never going to buy. Hahaha. I love seeing the new gear that's coming out. I'm having a blast with the direction IndyMogul is going. I'm glad it is back in full swing with so much varying great content.
What do you mean by 'internal ND'? Canon has the RF-EF adapter with the drop-in filters. (Between the lens and sensor.) They have a variable ND option, or breakthrough photography has a wide selection of NDs and other filters soon to be released. So is it a true internal ND filter? No. But it is pretty close, especially if you already have a ton of EF glass.
@@christianjadot4459 I mean true internal ND built into the camera body like the Canon C300 and C500 cameras or Sony FS7 and FX9 have. It's hard to go back to having to mess with adapters or screw on filters after getting used to internal.
Hey Dave. Great review! At one part you say that in 4k prores the camera does not crop the full sensor but downsamples the 6k to 4k. I couldn’t find that info anywhere on the RED page. Thats a true selling point. Means 4K prores 422HQ 60fps on Full Sensor. Can you confirm this for me? Thx
Tom Kamín - Videoprodukce i don’t trust the word of the company. I’ll wait for third party reviewers. That said, I wouldn’t buy this as i pre ordered an a7siii. And if i was buying a cinema camera, I’d buy the ursa 12k
Tom Kamín - Videoprodukce smartphone companies have been faking images for years when it comes to camera tests. There’s no way a company that sells $50k cameras are going to give 90 percent of the camera features, plus an in built screen, and AF, for a 5th of that price. Dynamic range and noise is the first to go when stripping down a camera like that. Also, how optimal where the settings, where was it shot, what was the lighting that we couldn’t see. There’s lots of ways to fudge dynamic range tests.
Great review. How does the smallhd monitor control the camera? There is no ctrl input on the Komodo....also for your audio test, how high did you set the pre amp gain with the deity?
We have to wait and see. The SmallHD monitor for red is still on pre order. I think it goes into the camera over the EXT input? Check it out in our kit.co link above!
A very well known Indian youtuber brought this camera and he said it's very heavy for vlogging. But your saying this is best for vlogging. Now whome should i beleive 🙂🙂

Isn’t it incredible? That motion cadence and color science is truly special. If they nail the AF they will have something great here.

Totally! A wonderful camera indeed!
for that matter the Ursa is a better deal at this point
10000 percent

AWESOME review Dave! The footage from the RED is AMAZING! I can't wait to see what else you have in store!

I've heard Zcam is working on another global shutter camera in the 6k line which would really shake things up.
No pun intended 😂
Glad you found a home Dave

Im so happy for you Dave. keep it up!
Thank you!! ❤️
Wehen you compare it to the Sony A7s III, is it Even in the same ballpark? Or wouldn’t you suggest to use an A7s III for serious videos at all?
Probably will never get one. But it’s amazing. It’s one of those cameras that is just beyond your reach but close enough to you that it hurts not to be able to get it hahahahaha. I love it.

Enjoyed the review as I just received mine and geeking out on all the Komodo videos I haven’t seen yet. Thanks!
Congrats on the episode Dave! Great video and review
Thank you!!!
I personally would love a comparison between this, the ursa 12k, the pocket 6k and an alexa once the 12k is out :)
Great review 👍 quick question, what’s the base ISO? Rather than the lowest ISO?
Thanks
Had to settle for the BMPCC 4K! Now, what lenses?
Damn Dave, this was a great review! What a great camera. Long time fan of Indy mogul and they picked a great person to add to the team 👍
Thanks Cory!
Nice to see you over here Dave!
Hey, thanks!
Great Video! excited for my Komodo to come in 4-6 weeks! Testing it out in Miami :)
I totally agree, Dave!! Thanks for your expertise!
Killer video and so helpful. Can you monitor audio levels manually with the on camera screen?
Finally an affordable red camera just preordered mine.
10:12 “turns it into v-mount battery solution” - shows gold mount battery solution.
So outside of the global shutter and brand name, is there a reason to spend 3x the amount of BMPCC 6k on the Komodo? Would love to see a 3-way shootout between the Komodo, BMPCC 6k, and Z-Cam E2-S6

Indy Mogul in most the AF sucked... which of course makes sense. Red had no experience with AF and the whole can is early Beta
One of the best “6k komodo” video. 🙌
Thank you!
You convinced me i will buy it as soon as possible
Lol awesome !
Will be very interesting to see the Komodo and P6K comparisons that will inevitably come.
did it autofocus with ef adapter???
How do you film outside in the sunlight using a red camera? How do you get rid of the sun glare on the screen? I tried 3rd party sun hoods but none of them seem to fit well on my red.

Good review. Keep it up! Was nice to se some continues autofocus action in there. Wish I had that. Perhaps in dsmc3. Hoping we could use the gyroscope for post stabilizing etc.

Do the special editions offer anything special in spec or is it just the same as ST?

Can fps be incremental like the blackmagic cameras? Like, can I do 36fps or 37fps instead of 40? Or 48fps instead of 50fps?
what hot shoe do i have to buy and what cable? to put a black magic monitor, thanks

Nice camera, might buy one as a B cam for our Dragon X. How do you feel this camera compares to REDs bigger cameras?
That global shutter is just buttery ughhh!
Isnt it? Have you ever used global shutter before?
Indy Mogul no never sadly! Closest I got was my Red One which is still rolling shutter but feels better than a dslr.
Still cropping on different resolutions when you shoot in prores ? Thanks
Continuos AF looks pretty good ! I'm surprised.
I NEED this camera
So this camera or the Sony aA7Siii or RED RAVEN?
Best Red Komodo review, better than that lucky guy that got two personal black ones!
Dave really dope review! 👊🏽
Thank you!
What’s the ‘real’ dynamic range though? @GeraldUndone??
Wish we had a chart! Maybe we should fly to Canada and have him do it for us
Red shot some charts against their Helium sensor and it was extremely close so i would NOT worry about the Dynamic range.

Seems like the global shutter and RED colors are really the big selling points. That and charging higher rates to clients.
Great video as always - I’m excited. Where did you get the sound effect that played after your “ I really like”? What is it called? Many thanks!
I hope what they brought becomes more industry standard, the AF, SDI, Global shutter, RF mound, and! Cannon batteries, they are so much better then NP-Fs from my experience.
Not a camera for me though, with the weird limitations and sensor.
Nice review, would love to see this vs Zcam S6 and pocket 6k. I’m leaning towards the Komodo due to colour science and form factor.
I love the ports on the camera tbh. Great review by the way
Good review. I’m waiting for the Canon C70.
Great review! Thanks!
Like your review. But where can I get it? Is there any official web store for international?
Unfortunately it isn't available to purchase yet! Stay tuned! Should be available in the next few months.
If you want to Vlog with a global shutter than take a look at the ZCam E2G
6K RED Komodo for $6K
Blackmagic Pocket 6K for $2K
The pocket is good enough for me lol
You can’t compare them. It’s completely different
