Yesterday, excitement was high among film-makers around the world when the official announcement of the Komodo-X was made by RED. After the leaks by president Mr Jarred Land of the past week and days had already created a lot of buzz and suspense about the new camera, yesterday was the culmination of everyone’s expectations.
Improved Technical Specs
Among the most praised new features of the Komodo-X are the increased framerates (120 FPS at 4K), the bettered dynamic range performance and CFExpress-support - along with some additional I/O options, such as 12G SDI, built-in USB Type C, etc. The innovative sensor design allows for improvements in color and detailed image.

Benefits for Documentary Production
Thanks to the legacy of the small form factor introduced by the Komodo, the Komodo-X carries on with this extremely useful design for documentary film-makers. Both monitoring as well as cabling and powering have become more professional through the Komodo-X. There are even possibilities to expand remotely through RED Connect. Thanks to the CFExpress media, run times can be longer (up to 17 hours), as well as offload times.
