The RED KOMODO 6K is a revolutionary leap forward for filmmakers who demand uncompromising image quality in a compact form. As RED Digital Cinema’s most portable camera system, the KOMODO 6K offers industry-standard performance with a global shutter sensor, rich dynamic range, and true cinema capabilities—all in a body small enough to mount on drones, gimbals, crash rigs, and handheld setups.
6K Global Shutter Sensor – Clean, Crisp, and Cinematic
At the heart of the RED KOMODO 6K lies a Super 35mm 6K global shutter sensor, delivering pristine, artifact-free images at resolutions up to 6144 x 3240. The global shutter eliminates rolling shutter distortions, making it ideal for high-motion environments such as action scenes, aerial cinematography, and sports videography.

- REDCODE RAW (R3D) and ProRes support

Compact Yet Rugged Design
Weighing just over 2 pounds, the RED KOMODO 6K is built with professional production in mind. The rugged aluminum body features a 4-inch touchscreen, 1/4″-20 mounting points, and Canon RF lens mount for wide lens compatibility.
Whether rigged on a Hollywood production or used handheld by indie creators, the KOMODO’s versatile, boxy design allows for maximum flexibility in mounting and mobility.

- High-end commercials, music videos, and short films
- VFX work and green screen shoots (thanks to global shutter)
- Multicam setups for interviews, reality TV, or documentaries
Seamless Integration into RED Ecosystem
KOMODO 6K is fully compatible with RED’s post-production and color tools, including REDCINE-X PRO, ensuring a smooth transition from shoot to edit. It also works well in multi-cam environments alongside larger RED cameras like the V-RAPTOR or DSMC2 series.
