Camera Overview — RED Digital Cinema KOMODO-X

The RED KOMODO-X 6K is a compact digital cinema camera from RED Digital Cinema built around a Super 35 sensor capable of capturing footage at up to 6K resolution and a maximum frame rate of 60fps. It uses the Canon RF lens mount, opening it up to a broad ecosystem of native RF glass as well as adapted optics via third-party solutions. Recording is handled via CFexpress Type B media, and the camera supports both RAW and ProRes recording formats, giving filmmakers flexibility in post-production workflows — from lightweight proxy-friendly ProRes edits to full-resolution RAW finishing.

At 950g, the KOMODO-X sits in a compact form factor relative to larger cinema rigs, making it a viable option for run-and-gun shoots, documentary work, and more controlled narrative productions alike. Connectivity includes SDI for professional monitor and transmission hookups, USB-C for data and accessory integration, and Wi-Fi for wireless control or file management. Audio inputs cover both a 3.5mm microphone jack and XLR, accommodating everything from on-camera mics to professional balanced audio sources.

With a maximum ISO of 12800, the camera is built to handle a wide range of lighting conditions on set.
