RED does have a nice image pipeline, and some neat stuff like the Komodo. Wish I still had the spare change to get one.

I've seen a handful on my local FB marketplace lately (nowhere near Hollywood or anywhere that you'd expect to see them) but ~$5k for a Epic-X Dragon with a lens.

5k for an EPIC-X? Wild. Good thing that that's not local to me, or my bank account would be complaining.

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

Lol - one posted within range of my search - listed at $6,500 but I bet you could talk them down:

Red Komodo 6k

SmallHD indie 7 with Red control

Red outrigger Handle

2 512GB cards

2 Canon BP-995

4 Jupio BP-975

2 NEO Mini 98wh

SmallRig Handle

BP battery charger

CFast 2.0 card reader

Core SWX Battery Plate

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.
