The killer would be a Komodo. Global shutter and autofocus is amazing in something that price.

That sounds amazing. Please stop before my wife finds out I'm even thinking about this.

I don't even make movies but the Red reputation + general deviant behavior in terms of buying unnecessary tech makes this a dangerous search on my part too. Wish the FB algorithm would stop recommending them (though not enough to manually tell it not to....)

I got a Komodo a few months ago in LA area for $3500 used with multiple cards and gold mount batteries, outrigger handle, pl mount adapter, etc. They’re out there, a lot of people upgrading to the X.
