RED Digital Cinema, Inc., a subsidiary of Nikon Corp., announced the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount and KOMODO-X Z Mount digital cinema cameras, integrating the Nikon Z mount into the RED camera lineup. The V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount and KOMODO-X Z Mount are the first entries into the all-new Z CINEMA series; a new product line of co-developed solutions from Nikon and RED. The Z CINEMA series is targeted at the cinema, high-end production, and creator market.
The new V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount and KOMODO-X Z Mount digital cinema cameras support the Nikon Z mount, with its large diameter and short flange distance, while retaining cinematic picture quality utilizing RED’s color science. Users now have the option to use the diverse lineup of NIKKOR F lenses from the AI Nikkor series onward, including popular vintage lenses, by pairing them with the Mount Adapter FTZ II. In addition, both products support the power zoom control of the new NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ and provide improved autofocus performance on both the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount and KOMODO-X Z Mount cameras.
The V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount and KOMODO-X Z Mount will be available from RED Digital Cinema, Inc. and RED authorized dealers.
RED’s flagship camera, the V-RAPTOR [X], has low-light performance, dynamic range, resolution, high frame rates, and an industry-leading 8K VV global shutter large-format sensor. Featuring RED’s Global Vision, a suite of tools powered by the global shutter sensor and designed to capture organic and natural imagery, the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount achieves a dynamic range of up to 20+ stops in Extended Highlights mode for more efficient capture of colors and details in highlights.
The KOMODO-X, which packs a 6K Super 35 global shutter sensor with a wide dynamic range and high-speed performance in a compact form factor, is now available with a Z mount. The KOMODO-X Z Mount supports 6K recording at up to 80 fps and 4K at up to 120 fps, as well as RED’s custom color science, which is built on 20 years of experience in the filmmaking market and delivers beautiful, cinema-quality imaging. The R3D Redcode RAW format, RED’s proprietary video data format, is very efficient and easy to manage when editing and offers superior grading flexibility.
The RED Z to PL Adapter Pack and RED Z to PL with Electronic ND Adapter Pack are optional mount adapters that enable the use of PL-mount lenses with the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount and KOMODO-X Z Mount cameras.
