Compare the RED Z to PL Adapter Pack for V-Raptor X and Komodo-X, including electronic ND differences, price, and when to add the Nikon Z Mount Cap.
Quick answer
Buy the Adapter Pack Z to PL for V-RAPTOR X if you shoot on the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount; choose the Komodo-X version for the KOMODO-X Z Mount. Both add PL lens support and an electronic ND filter, but they are camera-specific, so match the pack to your body before price.
Why camera-specific adapters matter
A PL mount adapter changes the flange distance and must align precisely with the camera’s Z mount. RED lists separate packs for the V-RAPTOR [X] and KOMODO-X, so the mechanical and electronic interface is tuned to each body. Using the wrong pack risks poor fit or loss of electronic ND control, even though both share the same Z-to-PL concept.
Electronic ND: convenience versus complexity
Both packs include an electronic ND system inspired by the V-RAPTOR XL, with interchangeable filters. That means you can cut light without stacking front filters, which speeds up lens changes on set. The trade-off is that electronic ND adds another powered component and menu layer; if you prefer a purely mechanical adapter, these packs go beyond that need.
Price and value: what the catalog shows
The V-RAPTOR X pack is listed at USD 2112.00 against a USD 3200.00 comparison price. The Komodo-X pack is USD 2176.00, also against USD 3200.00. The Komodo-X version costs slightly more, so base the decision on camera compatibility rather than the small price gap.
Trade-offs to weigh
- V-RAPTOR X pack price: At USD 2112.00, it is the lower-priced of the two packs, but only fits the V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount. Do not choose it just for the lower price if you own a KOMODO-X.
- Komodo-X pack price: At USD 2176.00, it costs slightly more and is built for the KOMODO-X Z Mount. The price difference is small; compatibility should decide.
- Electronic ND system: Both packs use an electronic ND inspired by the V-RAPTOR XL, with interchangeable filters. If you prefer no powered filter system, neither pack is the simplest option.
- Sensor protection: The RED Nikon Z Mount Cap is a separate low-cost accessory that covers the mount when no lens is attached. Add one if you swap between PL and Z lenses on set.
