KOMODO - RF to PL Adapter and Brackets Setup Guide

The RED RF to PL Adapter allows for mounting and communication with PL Mount lenses on RED's KOMODO 6K, V-RAPTOR 8K VV, and V-RAPTOR 8K S35 camera bodies.

The RED RF to PL Adapter includes PL Mount Support Brackets for either V-RAPTOR or KOMODO 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: To use the KOMODO Support brackets, you must first install the KOMODO SIDE RIBS.

Note: The RED RF to PL Adapter is not compatible with DSMC, DSMC2, RED RANGER or V-RAPTOR XL cameras.

Attaching the KOMODO Support Brackets

3. Take one of the KOMODO Support Brackets and position it on the top of the RED RF to PL Adapter ensuring the M4 screws line up with the corresponding holes on the KOMODO Side Ribs.
4. Use a T20 driver to loosely attach the M4 screws of the Support Bracket to the RF to PL Mount. Do not fully tighten yet.

6. Return to the M4 screws from Step 4 and fully tighten.
7. Turn the camera upside-down and gently lay it on a work surface that will not damage the top of the camera.  Repeat steps 3-6 to install the 2nd Support on the underside of the Adapter.
