I watched till the end even though I don't have a budget to purchase this system right now. Maybe in the future. I loved the way you had explained everything in detail. thanks
Glad that I am not the only one who disliked the Red outrigger handle. I was so excited to get it for my Komodo but hated it. Since I shoot from the waist most of the time, I just mounted a pair of top handles on each side of the Komodo. Works great.
Do you have a tutorial on how to properly set your audio on the Komodo X? I am having the issue of getting sound on the left speaker of my headphones while getting nothing but static on my right speaker. Hope you can help.
Solid rig Damien! Love the audio setup in particular, something that is always causing me issues on the OG so tend to run a completely different audio system wherever possible into something like the zoom h6/8. Don't think I can justify the jump from OG just yet, but think I may have to in future! Would be interested to see anything you've shot recently using this?
Excuse my ignorance! you said you can connect this monitor via Bluetooth to the Komodo, so you don't use an SDI connection? What about lagging? Thanks for all the info!
Hi Damien, i have a similar setup as yours, but I have one question, have you ever struggled with audio clipping on the shotgun mic? On my KX i can’t seem to get the gain lower than -8db on the input which is still to high for my Rode NTG 3.. and even if I set the limiter to -12 it clips at the highest levels still.. Loved your video!🎉
Nice! I picked up the KX about a week ago and am getting pretty geeky with rig stuff right now too. That portkeys monitor looks interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your battery solution doesn't have communication with the camera and therefore doesn't charge back up when plugged into mains? Allegedly "approved" batteries do that like the BP's did on OG Komodo, which is a nice feature, not going to lie. Thanks for the video!
Oh really? Haven't heard that before. Haven't tried but it also doesn't show % on the Komodo, just V. So I don't think that works. But since I can charge those batteries with a laptop charger that's good enough for me
Great video thanks So I bought the RED ribs for my new Komodo-X, but I want Bright Tangerine for everything else. You know if that BT cheese plate that slides on the side will still attach to those ribs ?
Great video. Does dji transmission and monitor system have both sdi-ins and sdi-outs. Or is it an hdmi-based solution. Do you attaching it to the red komodo-X as you do could dammage the anternna over a longer period of use?
I like the Nisi matte box but wonder if it's also the one you'd recommend for the C300-3? Given that it has internal NDs I only need it to handle pro mist and would prefer not adding rails, which I saw you also seem to prefer.
Depends. I mostly add rails for bigger shoots actually. And it depends on your needs. If all you really need is mist you can go with any mattebox tbh. But I still really like the NISI filters. But you could also go tilta mirage 🤷🏼♂️
Have you tried connecting your phone via the USB-C cable to control the camera and get monitoring via iphone? I'm traveling and short on space so it would be nice to use my iphone when in such a situation vs my 7" small HD. I can't get the live feed to show via Red Control.
Man, cool set up! Great video, I love the functionallity! Do you know how much is the weight of your run and gun Komodo X rig? And did you ever try a PolarBase matte box?
Actually not. The battery of my scale died during the filming of the video. But it will also drastically change depending on the lenses used. And no. I try to stay away from proprietary stuff
great explanation with the matte box, what if you wanted to use a vnd and have a polarizer at the same time? to reduce reflections on car windows? Thanks
How does the portkeys monitor work for you in sun light? Did they update the glass reflection? It has been the main reason why I returned the pervious 7inch version as I didnt see anything at all even with 1200nits.
lovely video mate! is there a way to use the mic wth outrigger handle because this is my current setup and i thought maybe put it on the other side but the adaoter has to go same side as xlr port assuming so is there. way to make it work?
@@BrandonTalbot thanks bro! Hope your neck heals man saw your video on what happened. It’s unfortunate, but you’ll be back stronger. I too am rigging Komodo x for a minimal pro set up and torn between GDU accessories and Bright Tangerine.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 incredibly kind of you and yeah I’ll be back to final form soon:) GDU is awesome but they lack a LOT of functionality especially compared to something as the BT options
Hi Damien! Love the rig, thanks for the info. How do you connect the Dji Transmitter? Theoretically you would be occupying the SDI input with the Portkeys monitor, right? Thanks!
@@damiencooper I'm confused as to how you got a V mount on the Komodo.Or is that a Mini V. It doesn't say in the description that its a mini , Would be hell to buy it and its not
@@damiencooper that's exactly what i was worried about. i use the generic sony batteries on my komodo, balances real quick and easy. if you had seen my face when i saw the back of the x... it was like... just burn my dreams up in SMOKE huh
@@SHVWNCOOPER really depends on the lenses though. Anything 1KG and above will be a pain. Especially since you need filters. But anything smaller is still fine
It’s not a camera specific problem it’s the connection. Any camera can suffer from this issue if there is a surge to the SDI port from improperly power on/off while sdi is connected.
@@damiencooper RF to EF Locking adapter, which you use in the video supports electronic communication between the lens and the camera? Example if I use Canon 24-70,70-200 I can change Iris from camera/monitor?

so blurry that I can't even see the product on your hands unless overhead cam, I mean it looks dope but I think is too much, cool vid thou
the XLR cables what brand is it?
@@mungoinc also formcave. Use my discount code 😉
This is confusing because where did you get the battery from? Not finding that a Mini V anywhere of that model
Only thing I would do different is Teradek for wireless and probably side mount it between the hand grip. Other then that great rig mate!

Right? I wasn’t able to fully get my thumb between the handle and the cage.
Yeah, side handles work 💪🏼
Great video. Its probably the best camera build video I've seen. The close up shots were help and you did it step by step!

Nice rig. Feelin' the Karl Kani shirt!
What a great hobby, i wish i could just build rigs especially expenive cameras well moderately expensive red cameras
Sweet rig and good info! Thanks for your insight on the matte box and filters!! RAIDER NATION!!!!! (I hope you saw that Chiefs game) ;-)

Please, do a review on how well the camera performs in low light.
Have you found that the Canon speedbooster is rubbing against the felt above the sensor on the KX, has done it with mine 😢. Great build!
I’ve read that. I’m trying the metabones speedbooster soon
Check the Mid49 XLR, way smaller then the one from RED
Cool RIG Damien! Will that Audio solution work with the RED Komodo as well??

I had the same handle and after a few months it’s starting to come loose even when locked down.
I can totally see that. Waiting for these new GDU handles

Doesn’t work. Not because of my setup but in general. VND is a polarizer in itself. So they would cancel each other out.
I need a build out like this

Yeah. With the bright tangerine side plate there’s enough room for everything
3lb Tokina cine lens and matte box for run and gun? 🤔🤔
Go to the gym 😅
You need some weight to get stable footage
Doesn't come RF to EF adapter from Komodo X? I know that Komodo come with RF to EF adapter.
Did you use the canon speed booster, any damage to the sensor cover mask?
Damien, how did you connect the tilta handle to the side plate (Bright Tangerine)??What did you attach to?
A nato rail
Cool ! How much for a set up like this, including camera, lens ? Thank you
20ish..
Hey man! Whats the part from tilta?
You try the global dynamics atlas handle yet?
It won’t work with his cage

It will work if you either A) attach directly to the camera brain without the BT nato side plate, or B) use GD side piece that they sell

No need. It’s 3000 nits

@@damiencooper how are they fitting without an adapter plate? It looks like you simply attached it to the back of the camera.
@ it’s a Komodo X. It has a vmount build in
Drooling 🤤
Are you pulling focus off the barrel of the lens on this rig? And how is that going for fast action run and gun?
Yes. It works very well as you have more control over your camera
side note sprig makes some dope cable clips
Sag mal, welchen MIC Halter nutzt Du? Der im Video ist nicht der Verlinkte. Der im Video sieht eher nach Canon C500M2 aus ...
Ist korrekt. Ist der von der C70. Aber den kann man glaub ich nicht einzeln kaufen
When you use multiple filters what ones do you put under the other filters and what over top
Doesn’t matter
i hate the antenna relocation. i feel like this could cause clearance issues running it on a gimbal
It does actually. But the camera is horrible to balance anyway 😅

Can the Komodo-X take a 4TB Cfexpress B?
I would assume yes. But I don’t know
Damien, where did you purchase the xlr mic cable?
Also formcave
@@damiencooper big thanks
Does the Komodo X suffer from the OG Komodo's STI issue? Or have they fixed that? P.s: Great video!
That’s not a fixable thing. Arris have that too
It’s not a camera specific problem it’s the connection. Any camera can suffer from this issue if there is a surge to the SDI port from improperly power on/off while sdi is connected.

War nicht mehr den Tilta Mirage als MB?
der Nisi VND passt nicht in die Mirage. Und der Tilta VND ist nicht so geil. Und die Mirage vignetted etwas wenn man sehr weit unterwegs ist

Why did you choose the portkeys vs the DSMC3 Red 7” monitor to do away with those 2 pesky cables?
Price
@@damiencooper how is the portkeys for camera control? There are so many negative reviews against portkeys BM7 II for poor camera control of KX
Way out of my price range!!!
