KipperTie announces new Adapta Z/PL and Revolva Z/PL mounts for the RED KOMODO-X & RAPTOR V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount Cameras

With the Z mount coming to the RED KOMODO-X and RAPTOR V-RAPTOR [X], KipperTie has announced that they have added Adapta Z/PL and Revolva Z/PL mounts to their range. They’ll be ready to order when the cameras start shipping.

If you don’t want to go with RED’s options the Kippertie Revolva Z/PL and Adapta Z/PL would be good options.

Revolva Z/PL

The new Revolva Z/PL is a version of the original Revolva that houses a quick-change cartridge system holding four NDs that can be quickly changed by rotating the cartridge.

Even though they were designed for the original KOMODO, they will work on any camera with a Nikon Z-mount.

Converting from native Z mount to industry standard PL, Revolva performs double duty by providing an integrated ND system with cinema quality optics.  Filter cartridges are loaded with a four-position rotating filter.  Revolva Z/PL is compatible with any quick-change Revolva cartridge, for best of class ND and diffusion, right where you need it.

Revolva Z/PL is designed especially to complement RED cameras, but will fit any Z mount. The majority of modern PL lenses are compatible, and the supplied smart fitment tool makes double-checking simple.

Included is a robust support foot engineered to match the Komodo-X’s body size, allowing the PL mount to be tied rigidly to a base plate or other support with 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 fittings.

For V-Raptor the Wrestler mount support provides additional rigidity connecting the Revolva Z/PL directly to the camera body with no other rigging required

The grippy PL mounting ring may optionally be augmented with a pair of grip tabs, each of which can be attached in a choice of positions to suit the user.

For Komodo the Chinstrap mount support provides the same direct mounting, extra rigidity and additional mounting points.

V-Raptor users wishing to mount the DSMC3 monitor to the camera body will require our Risa K-R product to provide the necessary clearance from the Revolva cartridge.

Komodo users wishing to mount the Komodo Link Adapter to the camera body will require a Risa K-R product to provide the necessary clearance from the Revolva cartridge.

Note: Revolva requires at least one cartridge to function,  but is compatible with all pre-existing cartridges.

The cartridges use Full Spectrum neutral density filters for minimal color shifts.

The Revolva Z/PL retails for £900 without any cartridges.

There are four different cartridges available which retail for between £400-£450.00 each depending on which one you choose. While Revolva is a decent enough solution, the amount of ND you can use without having to change a cartridge is pretty limited.

If you already have a Revolva for your DSMC2 camera, you can use the same cartridges.

Adapta Z/PL

Converting from the native Z mount to industry standard PL, Adapta Z/PL is carefully designed with optical baffles and flare traps for optimal performance, and with consideration for Red’s specific sensor and body characteristics.

The mount is optimised for strength and long life. Stainless steel and aerospace grade aluminium are used throughout. The PL mount is shimmable for accurate backfocus, and its internal mechanism is service adjustable for locking position to guard against wear.

The grippy PL mounting ring may optionally be augmented with a pair of grip tabs, each of which can be attached in a choice of positions to suit the user.

Included is a robust support foot engineered to match the Komodo-X body size, allowing the PL mount to be tied rigidly to a base plate or other support with 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 fittings. V-Raptor will require spacing to use the support foot due to the taller body.

For V-Raptor the Wrestler mount support provides additional rigidity connecting the Adapta Z/PL directly to the camera body with no other rigging required

For Komodo the Chinstrap mount support provides the same direct mounting, extra rigidity and additional mounting points.

The Adapta Z/PL retails for £550.00.
