RED Digital Cinema will show the V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X Z Mount at Cine Gear for the first time, but the company will also showcase cinematic mastery with three must-see panels.

RED Digital Cinema, Inc., a Nikon Group company, will be located at booth 060 on the Universal Lot during Cine Gear Expo 2025, a place where attendees can explore live demonstrations of the V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X with Nikon Z Mount. The new Z Mount variant cameras, with shallower flange depth and wider diameter, enable lens designs with higher sharpness, superior aberration control, and unrivaled low-light performance. These lenses deliver edge-to-edge detail and advanced autofocus capabilities.

The V-RAPTOR XL [X], RED’s groundbreaking Global Vision technology with Extended Highlights and Phantom Track for Virtual Production, along with RED Connect and the latest firmware updates, will be on display for visitors to experience.

“We’re excited to share the V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X Z Mount at Cine Gear for the first time,” said RED Digital Cinema CEO Keiji Oishi. “This option empowers filmmakers with unmatched versatility in lens selection including the highly evaluated NIKKOR Z lens and autofocus improvements.”

As Cine Gear Expo is also a place to learn and discover, alongside the presentation of tools providing filmmakers with superior image capture and enhanced lens flexibility, RED brings industry icons to the event, with three must-see panels featuring award-winning cinematographers and industry innovators, delivering in-depth discussions on cinematic artistry and technology.

“We’re honored to showcase the most visionary filmmakers in the industry and our latest innovations in digital cinema technology,” added Oishi. “From Henry Braham’s dynamic approach to superhero storytelling to the artistic mastery of the filmmaking team at “Chef’s Table” and Don Burgess’ iconic visuals, these discussions will inspire and enlighten audiences.
