RED-Approved Accessory for KOMODO 6K camera

The market for 3rd party RED Komodo accessories is growing fast, but not all accessories are RED-approved. Well, the good news is that the CoreSWX V-mount adapter in question here carries the coveted RED seal of approval, meaning they’ve tested the adapter, and it will also provide percentage remaining to the camera’s built-in top screen.

Note, that such batteries need to be “smart” and also pass SMBUS data. The CoreSWX Nano range does this for example, and so do a few others on the market. Best to check your battery’s specs to ensure it can send data to the adapter/camera.
