SHAPE RED KOMODO Kit with Cage, Baseplate, Top Handle, Matte Box & Follow Focus Kit

Description

This SHAPE RED KOMODO Kit with Cage, Baseplate, Top Handle, Matte Box & Follow Focus Kit mounts on your RED KOMODO camera, providing a flexible lightweight tripod mounting system with support rods, a 2-stage matte box, and a follow focus kit for a location or studio camera system. This allows you to go from a fully built studio setup to a lightweight stripped-down package suitable for gimbal work with a minimal breakdown of mounting hardware.

The key to this kit is the dovetail plate that mounts on your camera and then fits into the adapter that mounts on the lightweight baseplate. The lightweight baseplate mounts on your tripod and has built-in rod clamps that support the matte box and follow focus. This allows you to remove your camera from the tripod, leaving the matte box and follow focus mounted, put the camera on a gimbal, and then quickly mount your camera back on the tripod with the accessories waiting and ready.

SHAPE Camera Cage for RED KOMODO

Improve the accessory mounting possibilities while protecting your RED KOMODO cinema camera with this SHAPE Camera Cage for RED KOMODO. The durable 3-piece cage is built around the top plate that you mount on your KOMODO, allowing you to mount the side riser panels and included 15mm rod clamps. Once mounted on your camera, you've created a sturdy external cage that provides accessory mounting holes, as well as ARRI-compatible rosettes on each side for mounting optional grips to help you when handholding the KOMODO.

The cage is replete with 1/4"-20 accessory mounting threads for attaching a variety of available accessories, such as articulating arms. Additional 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes with ARRI-style anti-twist divots allow you to attach accessories that stay secure and won't unexpectedly twist, which usually happens at the worst moment, ruining the shot. Two individual 15mm spring-loaded rod clamps can be mounted on the cage for adding rod-mounted accessories. The cage retains open access to all ports and controls on the camera, and it disassembles easily into three parts for transport and storage.

Cage

The advantage of the cage is that it provides a rigid external frame to your RED KOMODO camera for attaching accessories to your camera without stressing your camera's body. This allows you to accessorize without worrying about damaging your camera.

Accessorize

The cage allows you to add optional grips to your camera via the ARRI-style rosettes, making the RED KOMODO's body more handheld friendly.

Rod Clamps

The individual rod clamps can be attached to the cage and allow you to mount optional 15mm rods. The clamps each use a spring-loaded lever for securing your rod on the clamp.

SHAPE Follow Focus Kit with Single 15mm Rod Clamp

Use the compact SHAPE Follow Focus Kit with Single 15mm Rod Clamp with your camera setup to make focus pulling easy. The modular design allows you to add and remove any of the components without screws or tools, and its small profile allows the addition of a matte box or accessories around your lens.

At the core of the kit is a rubber, anti-slip follow focus wheel attached to a single aluminum 15mm rod clamp. The clamp rotates to adjust to most lens sizes, and it's tightened by a locking lever. The clamp's rotation also allows the focus wheel to easily swing out of the way when changing lenses.

Five drive gears are included to fit a variety of lens sizes: 0.5 MOD/78T, 0.6 MOD/64T, 0.8 MOD/38T, 0.8 MOD/43T, and 0.8 MOD/78T. The gears can be flipped from front to back to facilitate different lens configurations. A 49mm rubber friction wheel is also included for the 0.5 MOD/78T gear which is most commonly used with DSLR lenses.

For alternate fine-focus configurations, use the included speed crank or 11" whip, both of which attach to the center point of the knob. Four magnetic marking disks are included to attach to the focus wheel.
