Wooden Camera: a new full range of Red KOMODO accessories Wooden Camera announces a full range of accessories compatible with the new RED KOMODO, allowing users to “build” a rig to meet their production needs.

Wodden Camera is back with its series of accessory kits in the Base, Advanced, and Pro categories, this time for the Red KOMODO, another model to which the company offers users ways to create a custom kit that fits their shooting style. Previously, Wodden Camera introduced kits for the RED DSMC2, & Epic/Scarlet cameras and now the same logic prevails: RED cameras are made to be modular, so why shouldn’t your accessories?

Wooden Camera’s wide selection of accessory kits is the answer: with them you can build out a camera to perform in any setting. Now the company announces a full range of accessories compatible with the new RED KOMODO. It’s a refreshing note in these difficult times, which the company has used “to reflect on how thankful we are for our amazing community.”
