RED KOMODO-X 6K: Compact Powerhouse for Australian Creatives


The RED KOMODO-X 6K builds upon the legacy of the original Komodo, delivering next-generation performance in an impressively compact and versatile form factor. Designed for filmmakers who require agility without sacrificing image quality, the KOMODO-X integrates key features from RED's DSMC3 line, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of productions across Australia. Southern Cross Cameras is excited to offer this innovative camera for hire.  


Next-Generation 6K Super35 Global Shutter Imaging


At its core, the KOMODO-X features a newly designed 6K Super35 global shutter CMOS sensor (6144 x 3240). This advanced sensor captures stunningly detailed images with RED's renowned colour science while completely eliminating rolling shutter artifacts. This makes it perfect for fast-paced action, VFX work, and any scenario where image integrity is paramount. Expect exceptional dynamic range (typically 16.5+ stops) for incredible flexibility in post.  


(H3) Enhanced Performance with Dual Base ISO & Improved Design


The KOMODO-X introduces a significant upgrade with Dual Base ISO functionality (ISO 800 & ISO 4000). This provides filmmakers with two optimal sensitivity points, resulting in cleaner images with lower noise in a broader range of lighting conditions, especially in challenging low-light environments. The camera body has also been refined, incorporating features from the DSMC3 platform, including an integrated high-resolution LCD for controls, improved I/O (including 12G-SDI), and a native Micro V-Lock battery plate for streamlined power solutions.


(H3) Versatile REDCODE RAW & ProRes Recording to CFexpress


Capture your vision with flexibility using RED's powerful REDCODE RAW format (available in HQ, MQ, LQ, and ELQ variants) for maximum image data and post-production latitude. For more streamlined workflows or when direct-to-edit files are required, the KOMODO-X also supports internal recording of Apple ProRes in various flavours up to 4K (4096 x 2160). All this is recorded to high-performance CFexpress Type B media.  


Unmatched Agility and Professional Connectivity


Weighing just 1.19kg (body only) and featuring a compact form factor, the KOMODO-X is built for mobility. Its integrated RF lens mount offers versatility with support for a wide range of lens adapters (including PL and EF). The improved body design includes professional locking mechanisms for audio and genlock, alongside built-in Wi-Fi for remote control and monitoring, making it a robust tool for any production environment.
