KOMODO....

[Nik Harper]

Nik,

Maybe a Gyroscope type accessory that could be used to embed positioning metadata inside Red .R3D files for better post stablization in an NLE. Maybe a range extender for a much larger Wifi range.

Yeah, I’ve always thought that would be a great feature. We have yet to see if that’s possible with the in camera gyros. But yeah if not, that accessory would be sick.

Yeah it is quite interesting the possibilities. But when I think about KOMODO I keep going back to basics about the reason why KOMODO is great: SIZE! So I am forcing myself as an exercise that no matter what I do researching, I wanna keep it compact as the FIRST OPTION. Travel will be a breeze and joyful at all times... Monitors now with batteries make that purpose be defeated because you need a few of batts for a day just for monitor...

For larger productions sure, everything makes sense and Size won't matter... But I still believe they should come with cool options on those pogo pins...

PS: I am now in the middle of searching new sliders compact. Edelkrone latest slider is compact and holds heavy cameras... So "SMALL" keeps bumping back at me...

Take a look at this Slider... it is insane and a perfect match for KOMODO: https://edelkrone.com/products/sliderone-pro-v2

Traveling: Compacted mode +Electronic Slider + Komodo + Autofocus +Rode Wireless GO + Compact Tripod + New DJI RS2... So many possibilities while not shooting bigger productions...

Like DSMC2 i though Komodo had a gyro? With a rolling shutter this actually really is useful. I believe the DSMC2 gyro accuracy is not quite good enough and getting the data out of the R3D frames seems a bit difficult but it is there...

That Slider V2 - it's quite noisy so be aware of that, it is lovely and compact. But actually i totally recommend the SliderPLUS range, it is much quieter, the slide module is great and on a tripod it will extend twice it's length. I have the larger pro model and have managed to use a full DSMC2 rig on it both manual and under app control. The only downside is that it won't do vertical or a strong incline. The SliderV2 will go vertical but the speed of move is much slower than horizontal... If you want to know anything just ask away.

cheers

It would be a great additional feature to go along with the Komodo's global shutter. Plus it would be another way to make the Komodo that much more competitive with the Sony FX6 which has a similar feature built into the camera.

I understand that keeping the Komodo as uncluttered and nimble as possible would be in keeping with the original intent of its size. However, if the additional add-on unit could be kept at a minimal size, I think that the benefits of a major additional feature that couldn't be added in-camera would be worth it.

The SlideONE PRO V2 slider does look great but my only concern with it is how well would it support the Komodo's weight. And since it seems to be meant for a smaller DSLR type camera, how smooth would the sliding motion be with the Komodo's weight.

Maybe we'll be surprised one day with a custom colored/made Red Komodo, HaHaHaHa

Indeed. By know I'm excited about any bigger size with KOMODO... it will be awesome... The challenge here is for the little gigs to find the know how of 2 or 3 tight compact setups for the big gaps between bigger productions...

Sliders are super interesting now to the point I would love to be able to test them all... I mean Edelkrone has Jibs you build onto your tripod... motorized that can make lots of things interesting...

I love this new era of equipment... hahahahahaha
