RED has finally made its latest cinema camera, the Komodo 6K, official. And, in case you missed it, there’s already a Nauticam housing for it! The camera can record 6K 17:9 (6144 x 3240) at 40fps, 5K 17:9 (5120 x 2700) at 48fps, 4K 17:9 (4096 x 2160) at 60fps, and 2K 17:9 (2048 x 1080) at 120fps.

The Komodo is built around Canon’s new RF mount, boasts a new 19.9MP Super 35 Global Shutter sensor with a resolution of 6144 x 3240 pixels and a claimed dynamic range of 16+ stops, and features a high-resolution touchscreen for navigation and previewing content. The RF mount allows you to use various adaptors for different lens choices, such as RF to EF and RF to PL. The camera comes with the Canon EF-EOS R adapter and supports electronic control of EF lenses, but does not currently support electronic control of RF lenses. The camera has two slots for Canon BP-9XX series batteries.

Available in November, the RED Komodo 6K is priced at $5,995.
