V-RAPTOR - RF to PL Adapter and Brackets Setup Guide

The RED RF to PL Adapter and RED RF to PL Adapter w/ Electronic ND Filter allow for mounting and communication with PL Mount lenses on KOMODO 6K, KOMODO-X 6K, V-RAPTOR 8K VV, and V-RAPTOR 8K S35 camera bodies.

The RED RF to PL Adapter and RED RF to PL Adapter w/ Electronic ND Filter include PL Mount Support Brackets for V-RAPTOR or KOMODO and KOMODO-X camera bodies. These brackets are designed to provide additional rigidity and support to the adapter when mounting heavy or long lenses to your camera.

NOTE: The RED RF to PL Adapter and RED RF to PL Adapter w/ Electronic ND Filter are not compatible with DSMC, DSMC2, RANGER or V-RAPTOR XL cameras.

NOTE: When attaching or removing the RED RF to PL Adapter w/ Electronic ND Filter on KOMODO-X with the DSMC3™ RED® Touch 7.0” LCD attached, you will need to remove the filter from the adapter to be able to attach or remove the adapter.
