RED has dropped the KOMODO 6K Cinema Camera with a $2,000.00 instant savings. The camera now retails for $2,995 USD, which is a very enticing deal.
I am sorry for those who recently purchased the KOMODO, as this is a major price adjustment. The used market is also going to get hammered. Either way, it’s a very competitive price.
This price drop is presumably for a couple of reasons. One, RED has switched to Nikon Z mount, and they may be bringing out a new KOMODO, and two, the camera has been out for quite a few years now, and sales may well have stalled.
Key Features
- Global Shutter: The KOMODO is equipped with RED’s transformative, global shutter technology, offering filmmakers the ability to capture fast-moving action with crisp, distortion-free images.
- REDCODE RAW: KOMODO users can harness the power of R3D and 16-bit RAW that gives creators a limitless palette to achieve any look.
- 6K Resolution: KOMODO delivers stunning 6K resolution, offering incredible detail and clarity for cinematic productions.
- Compact and Versatile: With its small, lightweight form factor, KOMODO can fit into tight spaces and be used for a variety of shooting scenarios – from remote systems to handheld setups.
- RED’s Image Quality: As with all RED cameras, KOMODO delivers the stunning color science and dynamic range that RED is known for, offering filmmakers cinematic imagery that stands out.
“The team at RED is anchored by an ambition to continually create the most advanced, high-quality image capture solutions for the world’s top filmmakers, and equally important to our philosophy is democratizing this technology. The KOMODO line expands access for the broader creative community, and this price adjustment furthers that mission. It’s especially meaningful for emerging and independent filmmakers, empowering them with an affordable option to share their stories using RED’s innovative global shutter technology and unparalleled color science.”

The RED KOMODO is now available for purchase at the new price of $2,995 USD. The corresponding pre-bundled packs, the Starter Pack ($4,500 USD) and Production Pack ($5,500 USD), also have new pricing.
This might be the best deal of the year so far. It also might be worth waiting a week to see how the used market reacts to the new low price.
Enhanced Performance with New Firmware
The firmware (1.8.3) for KOMODO improves the user experience and overall performance, including several new features found in the latest KOMODO-X model. It is designed to improve the user experience and overall performance. Including:
- Onboard LCD User Pages: Streamlined access to camera settings with the new onboard LCD user pages, allowing for quick adjustments on the fly.
- Faster Calibration Times: The latest firmware update significantly reduces the calibration time, ensuring that KOMODO is ready to shoot faster than ever.
- Function Toggle via Top Buttons: The new firmware enables faster toggling of key functions using the top buttons, offering users greater ease of control and efficiency in the field.
