Bright Tangerine Expert Kit for RED KOMODO-X
Description
Whether you’re running around the city on a documentary shoot or knee-deep in camera prep for a short film, the Expert Kit for RED KOMODO-X gives you everything you need for detailed rigging. Quickly swap between sticks, shoulder rigs and more with Bright Tangerine's doubled-up quick-release system, and cover your rig in all the accessories you’ll ever need.
A complete 15mm LWS setup with deep customization options, the Expert Kit for RED KOMODO-X is designed to stay with you all the way – from your first gig for exposure through to the next blockbuster.
Quick-Release Convenience
With the LeftField Mini 15mm LWS Baseplate, you’ve got end-to-end quick-release for your camera. On the Baseplate itself, Bright Tangerine's patented Open•UP mechanism allows you to effortlessly lift off from any ARRI standard dovetail. With the stacked Riser, Receiver and Universal Dovetail on top, you can also quickly remove the camera from the baseplate for quick settings tweaks or packing up after wrap.
Dovetail Design
But why would you want a more complicated Baseplate? To make things simpler in the long run, you can quickly release the camera from the baseplate. For bigger rigs, this means packing down is quicker and easier, and smaller rigs can hop seamlessly onto gimbals, tripods or shoulder rigs. Even when your call sheet is cutting it close or the director decides to go handheld on the oner, your RED rig will be ready.
Get a Grip
Whether you’re wanting to steadily pan when on a tripod or are going handheld at a low-angle, the NATO Top Handle gives you a sturdy yet soft point to hold you KOMODO-X. Paired with the set of Master Handle Extensions, you can create a curved and comfortable grip for easy carrying. And with the added Brace, you won’t have to worry about wobble.
Please note: This Expert Kit is not compatible with the DSMC RED Touch 7.0” due to the added height of the RED Monitor Interface (RMI). RED Touch users will need to use the alternative Expert Kit that features a different Handle Brace.
Breathing Room
Though the Left and Right Side Plates may look overly-bulky at first, look a little closer. The double-sided screw threads with anti-twist locating pins mean you can rig accessories to the inside or outside – meaning you can hide messy cables from the BTS Photographer. For cleaner rigs, the Side Plates offer smoother airflow, so your rig doesn’t run hot as you run-and-gun. And with the extra Cheese Plate, you won’t run out of rigging real-estate.
Deep Customization
In terms of what you can actually mount to your RED rig, you are spoiled for choice. Along with the standard suite of 1/4″ and 3/8” screw threads with anti-twist points, the RED KOMODO-X Kit also provides a range of other options for rigging. Camera straps can be slipped off and on via QD sockets on top, along with an integrated NATO rail – which itself mounts the Top Handle and a dedicated Bar Bracket. With forward and side-facing 15mm rods up top, the Top Bar Bracket and Rod Mount offers the ideal point to set up EVFs, lens motors and much more.
Adaptor-Friendly
A huge draw of the RED ecosystem is not being tied into one lens mount – especially now that Nikon’s Z-Mount has joined the family. If you want to try out new primes without damaging your camera’s lens mount, the Side Plates and Top Rail feature dedicated mounts for different Lens Adaptor Supports – including the own range and RED’s native Adaptors.
