RED KOMODO RIG - The Most Universal Build Out There
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- In this video, I'm gonna show you how I put together my RED Komodo 6K camera rig. I've gone down the rabbit hole of watching a bunch of other rig build videos for the Komodo and doing a ton of research online. The goal I had in mind with this setup was to create a versatile rig that seamlessly transitions from a professional film set to a dynamic run-and-gun shooting environment.

Thank you for your support :) - Krátké a kreslené filmy
NATO rail mount for the holly land was pure genius.
8:22 For video transmission I use the Accsoon ACC02 mount. It works very well!
Will definitely check it out! Thanks for sharing!
A perfect video in so many ways. Professionally informed beautiful set and presentation and simple calm and charming delivery that explained all the choices perfectly. I wish there were more women on youtube to reflect the growing number of fantastically talented dps and directors working in cinema and especially documentaries. Having worked mostly with women directors and producers and without wanting to generalise in any way, its so refreshing to hear the tone and consideration that women often bring to their work and on set too that is so markedly different from what we often see on youtube from often over hyped slightly adolescent young men. In my experience in the real world that same calm reassurance and confidence that Aya shows in her presentation use of graphics and even reflected jn the calm neutral tones of the set and what she is wearing are all creative choices once put in front of the camera and they perfectly reflect an understated confidence and aesthetic which seem wholly authentic to Aya’s intentions for the video. The rig is excellent and each piece’s form and function and choice is perfectly explained. Technically it mirrors many of the choices i have made on the rig i often use. A couple of things that i have found helpful is a galvanic isolator for sdi peace of mind and a run stop as part of the grip and fiz solution that keeps the hands in operator positions in the camera rather than reaching for the monitor. The tilta nucleus m is a useful system in that respect. Im not sure if Aya uses much shoulder rig set ups as her bts seemed to favour an easy or ready rig but the vocas cage and baseplate system is a useful option as it integrates well across the vocas base plate and shoulder rig systems. Again these are just personal choices and its great to see the thought and care taken by Aya as well as the obvious practical and cost considerations appreciated too. Just a perfect video and thanks for sharing your thoughts so clearly and professionally. A true pleasure.
Thank you so much for the kind words. You don’t know how much I needed to hear this right now. It just feels so nice when someone acknowledges all the little details you thought through before sitting down and pressing record. Also yes - I wish there were more women on youtube too! Hoping to lead as an example in a way.
Regarding the build will be testing the new nucleus m soon as well as a shoulder rig, so will probably make a comparison about it!
Greetings from Turkey. Thank you for your work.
Thank you for watching!
i feel like tilta really did not think this cage design thru and i'm really irked. i don't like having too many mismatched brand components, so i wanted handles that worked. left side handle options are great, until you mount and it blocks the mic port, or now i have to constantly move this handle to get the memory card door open. i've taken pieces from other kits and put them on my rig and ii finally have it to where it takes 5 min to put together. i sort of quick released almost everything lol. i have their focus handle, which is great. their focus motor burnt out on me but they sent a replacement right away. i like that the nano is so smalled compared to these other motors.
Great build. This is exactly what I want for my next rig, but with Irix lenses. Very inspirational.
Awesome! Thanks so much! Haven’t tested the Irix lenses yet, but heard great things. Good luck :)
I really love how this was presented. Thank you Aya 🙏🏾
Amazing video, thanks for taking us through the build. Super informative!
Happy that you enjoyed! :)
Such cool stuff, bravo ❤
Thanks you! :)
Great build! The BTS from that shoot looks great. Can’t wait to see the project!
Thanks! Can't wait to dive in that one - the making of is coming up as well :)
Oh that’s awesome! 😀
Nice KODOMO RIG!
In particular, the method of attaching the transmitter has inspired me a lot.
I'll try my KOMODO, soon
Eyy love to hear! Thank you :)
Damn that’s a beast . But i wonder if the kx production pack would’ve been the same price ?
Excellent job, love the build. Not a fan of polar pro but everything else was awesome. Maybe take a look at bright tangerine to play around. But hats off on such a compact rig. Definitely gonna pull some inspiration
Thank you! Yes, bright tangerine have awesome stuff as well as ignite digi. Definitely worth the investment if you’re going for a higher end setup. I just got a tilta mini matte box so I want to see how it compares to the polar pro one.
Beautiful setup
eyy, thank you Eddie!!
great presentation of your build. thanks
Thank you! Really happy to hear!
GREAT RIG !
Thank you! 🙌🏼
That was amazing. Liked and sub’d. Thanks for sharing!
Sexy mount build 🙌🏽😎 🎥
Great work!
Awesome!!
Thank you! Cheers!
You are very welcome. I hope that you continue to enjoy such a flexible camera system. I absolutely love mine. I can't wait to see what you and your team produce.
Took your idea for the transmitter to be attached to your cam! 😂🤣
Yesss! Way to go 😁😁
You're the best my g
Love you 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Versatile build!! Glad that you are sarisfied with it. One question though, where do plug in your NTG mic?
Hey, thanks so much! I use the Rode Videomic NTG which has a 3.5mm out, so I directly plug that in the Komodo audio port.
@@lostinayalandoh okay, I thought you are using an NTG3 or NTG4 that needs an XLR input.
Got it, thanks for the reply Aya. Happy shooting!
Great!
Thankssss! :)
A solid build!!! So glad the YT algorithm suggested your content!! #subbed
Thanks so much! Yeah it seems like CZcams is pushing the video, which is so nice. Excited to have you on board :)
Cool
thank you :)
Hello! New sub here. You short film One with the Elements was really good. The story, shots, composition, color grading, etc. was brilliant. Really excited to see more content from you. 🙌🏼🤘🏼
Just finished Skywalker. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 So damn good.
I’m checking your other videos if you did any BTS or talk about how you made those films? This channel is going to blow up!
Hey! Thanks for all the love! Yess a lot of that is coming this year - excited to bring you along 🙌🏼
Does your core SWX has some play when attached? Mine does and I end up accidentally shutting down the camera many times
Hmm, no I haven’t had this issue. Are you sure you’re attaching it correctly? Like is it securely mounted to the camera
I am a CAD engineer. I could design for you a mount for the Hollyland Transmitter.
Solid build Aya! :) How are you enjoying the Komodo?
Thank you Jakub! Just started reviewing the footage from the passion project and so far so good. I’m excited to start implementing it more into my work :)
U looks so beautiful 🤩
$500 for the small hd cable is insane!
I agree! Would recommend looking into a Portkeys monitor that supports wireless red komodo camera control ;)
do you ever just use it broken down?
Depending on the scenario, you can definitely remove some of the parts I have going on to make it more minimal. For now I use it as is. :)
