Along with the introduction of the KOMODO-X and V-RAPTOR [X] film cameras with Z mount, RED also launched 4 Z mount to PL mount adapters.
TheRED Z to PL Adapter Pack provides a robust PL mount solution for the KOMODO-X Z Mount and V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount. The Z to PL Adapter supports Cooke /i lens communication and recording triggering, extending the functionality of a conventional Z mount for professional filmmaking use. The Z to PL Adapter, with its titanium core construction, is resistant to changes in ambient temperature, ensuring consistent and accurate back focus adjustment.
The V-RAPTOR Z to PL Adapter Pack includes V-RAPTOR PL Support Brackets to provide additional rigidity. KOMODO Z to PL Adapter Pack includes KOMODO Side Ribs in addition to PL Support Brackets .
TheRED Z to PL Adapter Pack with Electronic ND Filter integrates the same precision electronic ND control used in the V-RAPTOR XL into a robust PL mount solution for the RED KOMODO-X/V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount. Compared to the classic version of the Z to PL adapter, this pack has two extra filters: a clear filter for when an ND filter is not needed, and an electronic ND filter with a range of 2-7 feet. It offers precise control in 1/4, 1/3, or full foot increments, allowing you to choose the exact exposure you want without compromise.
The thickness of each clear and electronic ND filter is metered and paired to avoid back focus shift when switching between filters. The ND can be controlled using the integrated buttons on the electronic ND filter, the integrated top LCD (KOMODO-X)/side LCD (V-RAPTOR [X]), the DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0" LCD, RED Control, RED Control Pro, the web interface, or any other RCP2 compatible remote control. This allows easy access to exposure regardless of camera configuration.
As with the classic Z to PL Adapter pack, theV-RAPTOR variant includes V-RAPTOR Adapter Support Brackets to provide additional rigidity. The KOMODO Z variant includes KOMODO Side Ribs in addition to the PL Adapter Support Brackets .
Sales of the Z to PL adapters are scheduled for April 2025.
