[ARRI Dovetail] Works great with my V-Raptor s35!!


At first it wasn't working for me. After several months of trouble shooting, my brand new RED V-Raptor s35 came with a defective chip. I sent it in and they replaced it. Surprisingly, this seems to be not uncommon from what I can tell from online inquiries. In sum, if it doesn't work for you, it's probably RED.....

[0.725 lb] First camera cage system from BT and it's awesome. I bought the original Kasbah system alongside the Misfit kick back in the day and was impressed by the functionality, quality, and their efforts to keep things light weight while still strong/solid. When it came time to get a cage for the Burano, I knew I wanted to try BT over the other options that were first to market apon its launch. The side rails connecting top and bottom inspire confidence for mounting things pretty much anywhere on the rig. The sliding top plate is slick, I'm getting another one for quick swaps to my movi alongside a BUD plate for the bottom. The D handle is solid and comfy. Paired with my Kasbah shoulder rig, its the quickest to build and comfiest to shoulder all day compared to other systems I've tried/built in my AC days. You won't regret it! Also the customer service is TOP with BT. They just called me within 15 mins to get clarification on a support email I sent regarding plate compatibility. Who does that these days?!

[ARRI Dovetail] Super light weight. It's thin, but strong. I've had two of these. The first one got bent on the account of the camera being knocked over. It took most of the impact (thankfully) and was bent. I ordered a second one to replace it. If I had not had this on the side of my Komodo it would have been damaged.


I use it to mount a grip with the rosette as well as my timecode box. There are plenty of mounting options. I also run cables on the back side of it with a few sprigs to help with cable management.


Bright Tangerine is the way to go when building a Komodo out.

[ARRI Dovetail] Really loving this system so far. The dovetail plate is super secure with a great quick release. I mostly started looking at this because of the top hand brace, which always seemed like a weak part of the fx6 if you plan to load it with extras. Adds rigidity all around with convenient mounting points.

[0.725 lb] I love that it doesn't take up the 9 pin port which i use for timecode and i don't need a large expander on the back to add this run/stop port. also it works perfectly!

[Baseplate] Solid and perfect for nato rail accessories for the Komodo!

[0.725 lb] This is THE solution for add rods to your komodo and being able to go from tripod to handheld in literally 2 seconds.
The latch design is perfect and clamps down tightly to your dovetail plate. The placement of the tightening knobs for the rods is nice.

I was initially going to go with the 8Sinn baseplate but after careful review I noticed that the knobs for tightening the rods interfere with the other knobs. In my opinion, I saw this as a possible hinderance to the ease of use I was looking for as I'm regularly in fast paced situations where struggling with any piece of gear is unacceptable.


If you can afford it, you won't regret it.
Its a deceptively simple tool but a must if you care about your gear working flawlessly and not worrying about fiddling around with the quirkiness that can come from some of the cheaper solutions.

[ARRI Dovetail] This is the lightweight solution we have all be waiting or for the Red Komodo. Well thought out, perfect placement and most importantly it features helicoil inserts so you know it will last. Keeps the system light and adds nato rails to the sides and top. After trying every komodo cage / rail market on the market, this seems like the best solution overall.

[0.725 lb] I have this R/S top plate on my Komodo as well as on my V-Raptor. On the Komodo I have the Mutiny Bolt-On V2 Micro record button connected to it, and on the Raptor I would use it to connect my Tilta right side handle with R/S button.


Bright Tangerine is marketing this product as a Run/Stop Plate for Red Komodo, but works on the Red V-Raptor as well, without any issues.

[0.725 lb] Favorite, most crucial accessory for Komodo. Can be used with the Outrigger Handle so run/stop can be utilized via a Nucleus-M style system or on-camera by the Camera Operator via Outrigger Handle. Best for gimbal usage to keep things very compact for run/stop capability. Arguably the best piece of kit to have for Komodo users.
