Nauticam Red Komodo-X Underwater Cinema Housing

The KOMODO-X camera features a 6K Super 35 sensor with up to 16 stops of dynamic range. R3D files (REDCODE RAW) can be recorded directly to CFast 2.0 cards, eliminating the need for expensive proprietary media. It also features Canon's new RF mount with full Canon EF to EOS R lens adaptor support, allowing various focal lengths. The KOMODO-X is second in size only to the RED KOMODO, allowing it to have one of the most minor form factors of the RED Digital Cinema Lineup. The feature set is aimed at those requiring professional-level specs in a travel-friendly package, which accurately describes the majority of underwater filmmakers. The KOMODO-X includes the next generation of imaging sensors with completely overhauled sensor architecture, updated pixel design, and improvements in details and color in shadows.

THE NAUTICAM KOMODO HOUSING

The Nauticam KOMODO-X housing is engineered similarly to previous RED KOMODO housing, providing the most compact and travel-friendly system possible. Komodo-X offers seamless integration with DSLR lenses and the same N120 port system used in Nauticam DSLR and Cinema systems. Enjoy unmatched user-friendly setup and intuitive operation, including tool-less setup and tear down in minutes. Batteries can be swapped without removing the camera from the housing, and lens changes can be accomplished in seconds.

The Nauticam KOMODO-X housing uses the N120 Cinema port system, shared with Nauticam's other N120 platform cameras, which allows for an easy transition to the Nauticam Komodo-X from other N120 Nauticam systems. The N120 system also provides access to Nauticam's line of professional premium optics, such as the WACP-1/2 and SMC-1/2.

The housing also features adjustable handles with easy access to the cinema-style zoom and focus knobs. On top of the housing is a 1/4"-20 cheese plate, allowing for various accessory mounting points.

The Nauticam KOMODO-X is also backed by Nauticam's 2-year warranty.

LENS SUPPORT

The RED KOMODO-X is compatible with RED RF-PL adaptors and includes a locking RF mount to give you extra piece of mind. The Nauticam KOMODO-X housing offers full support for the Canon EF to EOS R Adaptor and the Canon EF to EOS R Adaptor with Variable ND Filter. The left side of the housing features an easily accessible command wheel for smooth ND changes. Regardless of EF or RF lens selection, changing lenses is quick, easy, and doesn't require any tools. Note that when switching between RF and EF lenses, the camera must be removed from the housing to remove or install the RF to EF adapter. Nauticam is constantly testing new lenses to provide optimized port and extension combinations. Large cinema-styled control wheels on the housing, located within easy reach of the handles, provide precise manual focus and zoom control with supported lenses when used with the corresponding lens gear set.

Not being limited to using DSLR lenses is crucial for cinema systems, and the Nauticam KOMODO-X housing, when used with the 16410 N120 to N200 Port Adapter, can support the use of Cinema Lenses and the associated N200 Port System. Installation is quick and easy and requires no tools, allowing seamless lens switching in the field - even when changing between DSLR and Cinema lenses.

EXTERNAL MONITOR SUPPORT

The Atomos Shinobi SDI monitor or the Ninja V monitor can also be mounted in the external Nauticam NA-Shinobi-S housing or Nauticam Atomos Ninja V-S housing and be connected via SDI bulkheads and cables, allowing greater flexibility when positioning the monitor on the Nauticam Komodo housing.

While the Nauticam KOMODO housing is engineered to allow for complete control by the operator, it also supports an ethernet surface feed in 5m (pole cam) and 45m (studio) lengths. Within the housing, there is space to install a small ethernet router, allowing complete control of the camera at the surface through the RedControl App.

VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM

The Nauticam KOMODO housing features Nauticam's field-tested Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System that provides constant updates on the water-tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. By drawing a slight vacuum inside the housing using a reliable and compact manual hand pump, the system can ensure water-tightness before entering the water and throughout the dive. A simple color-coded LED lighting system, easily visible at the rear of the housing, lets the user know that the vacuum is solid or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so an audible and visual indication will occur if there is water intrusion. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature or a camera heating up on an action-packed dive.
