Description

The RED Komodo is a compact 6K digital cinema camera weighing just 900 grams, built around a global shutter Super 35 sensor and a Canon RF lens mount.

Sensor and Recording

The 19.9MP global shutter sensor eliminates rolling shutter artefacts and delivers 16+ stops of dynamic range, recording 6K at 40fps, 5K at 48fps, 4K at 60fps or 2K at 120fps in REDCODE RAW, or Apple ProRes 422 HQ/422 up to DCI 4K 60fps. CFast 2.0 media supports data rates up to 280MB/s.

Mount and Control

The native Canon RF mount accepts EF lenses via the included adapter, with an optional electronic EF-to-RF adapter supporting PL-mount lenses. Phase-detect autofocus works with compatible lenses, including adapted Canon EF glass. A 2.9″ touchscreen handles configuration and monitoring, alongside Wi-Fi control via RED Control on iOS or Android and wired USB-C control.
