So you did poor research and bought a cine cam for documentation.

Can I ask how you color graded the red footage? The look of your footage is sooo good!

What IS lenses do you work with, and which one do you recommend for handheld? Any with AF? Thanks!

For me the ergonomics and menus and out of camera images are what keeps me with Canon. Yes RF lenses are expensive, but now i have what i want i can use them for decades and just upgrade my camera as i need to.

Though your gripes may be true and this camera may become frustrating for your work needs and what you’re used to this is more a of a tale of a naive buyer You don’t buy a race car and complain it has no air conditioning. It’s main priority is going fast not convenience or comfort The same case is here. You bought a camera intended as a crash camera or B camera that’s main priority is small form factor and image quality prodominatley engineered and targeted towards large scale productions You did not buy a camera engineered for documentary shooters or 1 man band videographers. You should instead get a canon or Sony cam and complain to them you want better image quality.

But one thing I want to know. Lets I'm in a car and shooting outside from the window, I want everything in focus. How to do that?

Red Komodo been goin hard , I use it in all ma music videos I shoot for artist , It’s always what you make of it (and Thas for anything)

🔥

In October 2024 I brought a brand new Komodo 6k for $3500 hundred bucs. Considering the camera retail cost is $4,995, I had to buy it.

This camera is SO good for solo filmmaking. If you decide to shoot in ELQ you get a lot more runtime compared to LQ with hardly any quality loss from my experience. I've matched this camera with my Arri Amira, and it's hard to tell the difference. Also side note, no need to turn off the camera in order to switch a lens.

One thing I hardly ever hear shooters talk about is the exceptional customer service RED provides. You can email or call them and get a very well trained person anytime. And, they are primarily California based.

Curious your thoughts. I’ve been wanting to sell off my fx6 here for a bit and move to RED. The price drops made me super super interested in possibly getting a production pack for the Komodo X. I know a guy who is willing to sell me his Komodo 6k with some storage and extra batteries for only 3,000. Have you ran into walls where you wish you had a Komodo X? I’d need to buy a monitor preferably with camera control for the Komodo 6k. Really torn on going for the KX for way more or going for the OG at a super good price. What are your thoughts as a fellow creator?

Thanks for posting, Jannis! Your setup is well thought out.

I don't get it, didn't you know all that before buying the Komodo?

Thank you for this vid! How do you get around boot-up time? I would like to get a RED and use it for everything!

Bro what the fuck are you talking about , the senheiser Audio : MKE 600 CAN BE USED w out phantom power, U LITERALLY UNTWIST THE BODY AND PUT A DOUBLE A BATTERY INTO THE MIC. IV LITERALLY USE IT ON THE KOMODO RIGHT NOW. IT DOES NOT NEED PHANTOM POWER: Also there is another option ::::: little clever thing for the komodo called an Breakout Box for RED Digital Cinema DSMC3 V Raptor 5 Pin to Dual XLR 3 Pin. Which lets u use XLR directly.. Might as well do some research before u make a video on a topic.... Btw , the komodo MADE TO BE A CRASH CAM. It is not made for mounting mics on it , the fact that we use it as an A cam is just states how good it is , but it was NEVER MADE FOR THIS. Storage :R3D files are are way more compressed than any other raw codec of this flexibility , forexample pro res raw takes way more space and has less latitude. IBIS : R3D files STORE GYRO. DATA , you literally put the file into gyroflow and it will stabilize it for you .

what’s the case you used at 5:43? Thanks

I'm switching from canon to sony simply because of e-mount. The amount of crazy good value lenses is unmatched. Canon is zero consumer oriented. That said: i think canon camera bodies are pretty much perfect. And they have all the features i need. Right now sony offers not a single camera that is a suitable replacement for my r6 mk2. I hope the a7v will be fitting

Did you have any issues with sand on the beach and the open vents of this body?

In the professional world nobody records audio in Camera. You have a sound crew.

What camera did you shoot this video with? The image/lighting is 🔥

such insane quality and valuable content, dam

Thanks Jannis. What is that interesting UI that has the moodboard in it? It looks like an interesting web service

well they just released the c80 hehe sooo if ur in the return window def do the swap.

I don't get your points at all. What is the problem with paying more for more functions and features? There is a problem with Sony not gate-keeping and therefore it's good that Canon is? Most people don't stick to a brand, they stick to a mount since all the lenses they buy are of the same mount, and it's expensive to switch mount. Anyways, you switched from Sony because you don't see a clear gear upgrade path, and you switched to Canon because you see how they are gatekeeping and there will be lots of feature upgrades which Sony already has that will come to Canon in the future? I think I have misunderstood since it doesn't make sense. I am on the RF-mount for stills and starting to learn filming videos. The R8 is the cheapest full-frame with the best autofocus for the money. Canon also has a more extensive and cheaper budget primes line-up than other mounts. These are the two reasons I'm on the RF mount. If you can't sum it up in a sentence or two, it makes less sense in a 10 minute explanation.

Nice video! You should make a video on your coloring process. It looks gorgeous

Someone is still immersed in the mirrorless DSLR world. Nearly all of the issues stated are common gripes of folks that haven’t acclimated to professional sets. Furthermore, many of the issues stated aren’t accurately stated nor the full story expressed.

sick! thanks for sharing

Set pre roll on cam. Will be good for you if 30 seconds Is a problem for you. I have a sound devices mixpre on mine for fantastic audio. ELQ 6K best option if you want to save file space. I just brought more storage and stick to MQ 6k love it.

What was your camera and lighting set up for the talking head parts of this reel? Looks absolutely stunning.

Many of your problems with the Komodo is that you’re running a Crash Cam as your A-Cam. You should rent a Komodo-X and see if that suits your workflow better.

A7s3 was amazing but killed by fx3. even a7iv has better features for daily users and videographers.

can ı be your intern with no money hahsgadjahsdasg

Sony definitley takes the cake for feature-rich cameras and consistent releases. I agree that the brands are almost opposite though, since Sony is infamously bad at firmware updates whereas Canon does a pretty good job (though their release schedule is dubious at best). As an R5C user, I can definitely see where you are coming from looking for more professional features all in a single body. Thankfully we live in an age where any modern camera body on the market can produce high-quality content, and it's great to see you break down the pros and cons of both brands while also addressing the issues of brand loyalty. Hope your experience with the R5C and C70 is as good as mine has been!

I shoot Canon. I too wanted Clog2 on all the cameras. BUT I see many Sony shooters try to match the same codecs from different cameras and had the same issues truly matching the looks. That was probably the only reason I was thinking of trying Sony. Turns out it's not a thing. I have a C400 coming. It will work great with my C70's. Done for a while!

Hey! May I ask, which software did you use for your pitch deck?

Celan setup 👍. I cant push myself purchase Outrigger Side Handle. ( looks expensive for handle ) . You use camera without support ? ( easy rig or shoulder strap ). if need to shoot like 4-6 h

Consider yourself in the minority. Most people are dumping Canon for a myriad of reasons.

The problem is this crazy misture of photo and video dudes....I don't care about video!!

Good video brother 👏

600 has a battery with phantom power inside

I’m a solo shooter using a RED Raven and it is a great camera for me. It is also bigger and heavier than the Komodo. The Raven is great and in some ways better than the Komodo. But the Komodo is 6k and the it’s smaller and lighter than my Raven. I think they are both great for solo shooters. That said, I get a kick out of the haters who never owned or even rented a RED, yet seem to want to bash this kid for sharing his experiences. Get a life guys/gals..

I imagine you will be forgiven by Sony shooters for leaving because you said multiple times "Don't get me wrong, Sony is the better camera." As other commenters on this video have suggested, I also believe you don't need to justify yourself or be apologetic to a group of consumers in your decisions. Regardless, thanks for sharing your reasons!

The DGO sensor from C70 and and c300 mark 3 is so nice. But I had to get two of them because my R5C looked to sharp next to the C70 ...

Is a powerfull videocamera tje Quality is the top 😊

Really appriciate you giving out all these gems for free! Deffinetly top tier content creation

Damn, this is very high quality content!

This was hard to watch… You’re adapting a crashcam for documentary use and then blaming it for being a crashcam. It’s incredibly shortsighted and frankly a dishonest premise.

So what, buddy? It's a consumer product, buy both?? Why does this KZbin algorithm take me to so many dumb channels?

I prefer Canon But I Do Not Respect Them.
