i got the new core swx batts the new ones don't need the big brick for 250 to charge which is amazing you can charge via usbc

[@DustinHarrelson]

Yooo that’s so nice that they charge usb-c

[@ChadAltDelete]

How long does it take to charge to full?

[@highlycreativedigital5472]

how you like them I am about to get one

[@SouthboundProduction]

You're now a certified Global Shutter enjoyer... 🤣

[@DustinHarrelson]

I actually forgot about the global shutter, so nice to have honestly! Hahaha someone give me some trees or light posts to quickly pan past!

[@Stondiexd]

Oof thoughts on the price drop?

[@robertwlittlejohn]

it must really suck they just knocked 30% off the price....i feel for you

[@DustinHarrelson]

Hahaha yeah it does kinda suck timing wise😭

[@thelocalfilmpro231]

Are u from NC? I noticed u said y’all lol.

[@DustinHarrelson]

Hahaha Alabama actually

[@thelocalfilmpro231]

@@DustinHarrelson haha not a bad guess tho just spoke to a guy from Alabama the other day (I’m a barber by trade ) and I’m like are u from here bro? He’s like nah I’m from Alabama so obviously I can’t tell the difference lol . Love your work man

[@MichaelTaylorProductions]

Dude congrats! My dream camera brand right here! Enjoy it brother!

[@DustinHarrelson]

Thank you so much bro!

[@IanSnape]

Nice dude this is a potential purchase I’m looking at at the minute. Look forward to what you’re shooting on it! 💥

[@DustinHarrelson]

Heck yeah, thanks for checking out the video! Hoping to get some pieces shot on it edited and posted soon!

[@thomasdalquen5998]

great video! Do you know if you can combine the outrigger handle, top handle and the monitor without cables on the komodo x? Much love

[@ShamarMarcus]

Yo i legit picked up a battle tested kx direct from red which was like 25% off so excited

[@DustinHarrelson]

Yo let’s go that’s awesome

[@Citizenflaba]

Oop

[@DustinHarrelson]

Fr dawg

[@sebastianFZE]

Have you thought about making the thumbnail - you facing the camera while holding the kx? That would've made me click even sooner probably haha

[@DustinHarrelson]

That’s a good idea fr! I need to start putting more time into thumbnails, it’s always the last thing I do

[@iacobgarrett]

"I'm not gonna do that" LMAO

[@DustinHarrelson]

Hahaha I'm just not a car sticker guy ya know

[@eddievargas8103]

I have the red I/O box for mine. It’s actually full metal and feels amazing. The gap between the battery is great to route cables through. Red told me they have had issues with the tilta and no longer suggest it. I’d go the RED or mutiny I/O.

[@DustinHarrelson]

That’s good to hear! I still don’t love the way it looks but glad that it’s full metal, I may see if I can borrow or rent one before committing. Did they say why they don’t recommend the tilta?

[@eddievargas8103]

@@DustinHarrelson yes, so I bought the I/O expander to be able to run time code on my KX for a project I was hired for. We couldn’t get it to work (ended up being a wrong cable supplied by sound). But I was speaking with red and they asked if it was the tilta, I said no it was the red, they told me they had many people call in about the tilta having I/O issues, like timecode cutting out or not working at all. They said it was frequent enough to remove the tilta from their recommended list. What area are you located? You could check mine out if you’d like. I’ve ran the mutiny and the red on productions. I definitely prefer the red. The read out on the side is nice. Service panel. And the size allows easy cable management. Can’t really go wrong with either.

[@chosenfilms8915]

Love this.. congrats. one day I believe I will get any Red Camera in my hands.

Box camera gang

[@DustinHarrelson]

Boxy boys

[@wilismatrix9847]

Sorry for your loss, its price dropped to 6k !

[@uncoolmediagroup5576]

Doesn’t matter if you got the tool for the actually purpose. Price will be covered with the work

[@McarthurBeard]

I’m looking at the Komodo X or the canon c400

[@DustinHarrelson]

Oooo let me know if you go C400, it looks pretty sick fr

[@obarovft314]

you cant send video to a focus puller using their monitor? can you?

[@edwllcxn]

Look forward to seeing what you make with this!

[@DustinHarrelson]
