RED Komodo X

RED KOMODO-X is a compact Super 35 digital cinema camera built around a 19.9 MP global-shutter CMOS sensor. It combines REDCODE RAW recording, high frame rates and professional connectivity in a body designed for handheld, gimbal, drone, vehicle and compact studio setups. Compared with the original KOMODO, the X version increases maximum frame rates, expands data throughput and introduces a reinforced locking RF mount, making it better suited to demanding production environments.

6K global-shutter sensor with 16.5+ stops of dynamic range

The 27.03 × 14.26 mm Super 35 sensor records 6144 × 3240 and uses a global shutter, eliminating the rolling-shutter skew and partial-frame exposure artifacts that can appear during fast camera movement or when filming rapidly moving subjects. RED specifies more than 16.5 stops of dynamic range, giving the camera strong highlight and shadow latitude for commercial, narrative and VFX-oriented workflows.

6K80, 4K120 and 2K240 in REDCODE RAW

KOMODO-X records REDCODE RAW up to 6K 80 fps, 5K 96 fps, 4K 120 fps and 2K 240 fps. These high-frame-rate options make it useful for action, sports, commercials and shots that need significant slow motion while preserving RED’s RAW workflow. REDCODE compression options include HQ, MQ, LQ and ELQ, allowing productions to balance image quality, recording time and storage requirements.

Locking RF mount with broad lens adaptability

The integrated locking Canon RF mount provides a more secure lens connection than a standard still-camera mount and maintains electronic communication with compatible lenses. With suitable adapters, KOMODO-X can also work with Canon EF lenses and professional PL optics, including support for /i metadata through RED’s RF-to-PL solutions. This makes the camera easy to integrate into both lightweight photo-lens builds and more traditional cinema-lens setups.

REDCODE RAW, ProRes and high-speed CFexpress recording

The camera records REDCODE RAW as well as Apple ProRes formats, with data rates up to 560 MB/s on qualified CFexpress media. ProRes recording is available in 4K, including ProRes 4444 XQ, 4444, 422 HQ, 422 and 422 LT depending on frame rate. This gives productions the option to choose between RED’s RAW post-production workflow and more conventional ProRes pipelines.

Professional connectivity in a compact body

KOMODO-X includes 12G-SDI output, USB-C, dedicated audio connectivity and wireless camera control. It also supports RED Connect for live 6K R3D video over IP with the appropriate license. The compact body and small integrated touchscreen make the camera suitable for tight rigs, remote heads and stabilized setups where a larger cinema camera would be difficult to use.
