The faster Komodo — 6K global shutter at up to 80fps with phase-detect AF.
The 2023 RED Komodo-X is the faster sibling of the Komodo: the same Super 35 6K global-shutter sensor family in a compact RF-mount body, with readout speed roughly doubled to 6K at up to 80fps.
It moves to CFexpress Type B media, adds a tilting rear touchscreen, phase-detect autofocus improvements, and integrated wireless video plus timecode over its predecessor's fixed-screen design.
Its significance is as the bridge between the entry Komodo and the V-Raptor line: global shutter for gimbal and drone work without rolling artefacts, in a body small enough for the same rigs the original Komodo built its reputation on.
Used buying: hours on the sensor matter less than on fan-cooled brains but verify firmware is current, check the RF mount for play from heavy zooms, and confirm included media and power accessories - V-lock adapter plates and CFexpress cards move the package price substantially.
