Bright Tangerine Expert Kit for RED KOMODO-X and RED Touch 7.0"
Description
No more compromise: with the Expert Kit for RED KOMODO-X and RED Touch 7.0”, you don’t have to choose between the rig you want, and the rig you need. Featuring a range of accessory mounting options, from standard bolt-on accessories to 15mm LWS matte box mounts, you’ll never struggle to shoot on your RED rig again.
With a dedicated setup for the DSMC RED Touch 7.0”, the Expert Kit makes sure you have a clean rig no matter the shooting scenario.
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.
RMI-Ready
For a lot of RED KOMODO-X users, cage compatibility with the RED Monitor Interface (RMI) is a major pain point. With the dedicated Top NATO Rail and NATO Top Handle, you’ll have a curved and comfortable grip, stabilized by an accompanying Brace that factors in the added height of the RMI. The Handle and Extensions also have rubber inlays, so whether you’re wanting to steadily pan on a tripod or are going handheld at a low-angle, your hands won’t feel the strain.
Note: You will require a different Brace when shooting without the RMI.
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 your RED Touch 7.0” monitor.
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.
