VFX Array
Special
Powers
Machined from the ground up, Wonderfilm’s VFX Array rigs are equipped with RED KOMODO-X cameras and ZEISS 21mm CP.3 XD lenses. The cameras are light weight and capable of capturing up to 80 FPS with a stunning level of detail for CGI shots. Teradek’s wireless ecosystem enables monitoring, lens control, & R/S from 1500 ft away.
RED KOMODO-X
Central to our ultra light weight VFX array platforms are the RED KOMODO-X cameras which capture a stunning level of detail with a 6K sensor at 80 FPS and 16.5+ stops of dynamic range.
ZEISS 21mm CP.3 XD Lenses
The best imaging capability and VFX plate composition are made possible with three identical ZEISS 21mm CP.3 XD lenses. Stitching is reliable and lens distortions can be mapped using ZEISS’s XD technology.
FOV
We design and manufacture bespoke VFX arrays for almost any field of view. Each camera pairs a RED KOMODO-X 6K sensor with a ZEISS 21mm CP.3 XD lens, giving 65.5° of horizontal coverage, so we can build an array with the camera count and overlap your shot needs.
27.9% FOV Overlap
We applied our expertise gained from working on large-scale VFX shows to the design of our VFX Array. With the needs of large VFX vendors in mind, material from our array systems includes a minimum of 27.9% FOV overlap for reliable, perfect stitching.
Teradek Wireless Monitoring, Lens control
Our production-ready VFX Array rigs are designed for big shows. A testament to this is the Teradek Bolt 6 ecosystem designed to make wireless monitoring, lens control, & R/S fully operationally up to 1500 ft.
Timecode / Genlock Sync
Our multicam systems use shared timecode and genlock synchronization across all cameras, ensuring precise frame-level alignment, sync, and seamless integration into professional post-production workflows.
Huge Stitched Plates
Our three-way RED KOMODO-X array is arranged horizontally. Each camera has a 19.9MP sensor with an effective resolution of 6144 × 3240, and adjacent cameras overlap by 18.25° (27.9%). Together they produce a stitched plate of approximately 15,008 × 3240 pixels. Our four-way array goes much further, delivering a larger a stitched plate.
Lightweight
Drone
Array
Weight isn’t just a spec — it’s the whole problem when every kilogram costs flight time. Wonderfilm’s RED KOMODO-X VFX Array was re-engineered for drone deployment from the ground up, delivering three synchronised cameras, full wireless control and frame-accurate sync at just 9.2kg — light enough for heavy-lift platforms like the DJI Alta X, without cutting a single feature a DOP would expect on the ground.
9.2KG
Wonderfilm’s drone-configured array weighs just 9.2kg — an incredibly lighter system — giving DOPs meaningfully more flight time on heavy-lift platforms like the DJI Alta X.
Engineered for Drone Deployment
Purpose-built to solve the biggest challenge in aerial VFX capture — weight. A three-camera array light enough to fly, without cutting a single feature.
More Flight Time, Less Compromise
Every kilogram saved is flight time gained. Careful centre-of-gravity engineering reduces counterbalance weight without sacrificing multicam control, sync, or image quality.
Fits the DJI Ronin 2, Built for Heavy-Lift Drones
Compact and lightweight enough for the Ronin 2 3-axis stabiliser, robust enough for heavy-lift drone platforms carrying three synchronised RED KOMODO-X cameras.
Clean Compositing
Made
for VFX / VP
We have a black book of Lead VFX Compositors, 3D Riggers, Matchmove Artists, DMP Artists, and Tracking Specialists. When designing our array, we made sure that the deliverables met the requirements of vendors we work with. The horizontal camera configurations were engineered to include a 27.9% – 39% overlap — with shared coverage between each pair of adjacent cameras.
27.9 - 39% FOV
Overlap
Zero Compromise
Weight came out of the assembly, not the imaging chain. The array configurations carry RED KOMODO-X bodies and the same matched ZEISS 21mm CP.3 XD lens set, delivering identical coverage, overlap and extended lens data for mapping distortion in post.
OUT OF CTRL.5
Teradek’s CTRL.5 is the ultimate handset we use for reliable, accurate control and tuning of multiple cameras and lenses at once. We can adjust exposure, focus, R/S and more.
Remote, Everything
We know all about the demands of a full-scale production such as Fast & Furious 9. Using the Teradek Bolt 6 LT 1500 TX/RX Deluxe kit alongside the CTRL.5 Controller, our production-ready rig is geared up for all on-set scenarios. Operational from a 1500 ft distance, the Teradek ecosystem enables multi-lens iris/focus control, run/stop triggering, and multi-camera wireless playback.
Nimble Enough
Our configuration is small and light enough to fit on the DJI Ronin 2 3-Axis stabiliser. For use on heavy lifter drones or on larger stabiliser heads such as the Freefly Mōvi XL.
Full turnkey solution.
The kit arrives on set like this – a full turnkey solution ready to shoot in 30 mins. A clean set up that can be assembled by us or handed to an operator.
Tech Spec
Every array assembly is designed and built in-house, so the configuration is matched to the job rather than the other way round. Whether the rig is going onto a gimbal, a heavy-lift drone, a tracking vehicle or a static mount, we can build or adapt an assembly to suit the payload, the platform and the shot.
Components are machined from aluminium sheet, with thickness selected for the application — lighter where every kilogram costs flight time, heavier where the rig has to take load on the ground. The standard Ronin 2 configuration sits comfortably inside the gimbal’s maximum payload, accessories included.
All our assemblies are lined with M4, 1/4″-20 and 3/8″ mounting threads for effectively unlimited mounting options, and each carries a detachable custom cheese plate at the base for additional mounting and threading.
If a shoot calls for a configuration we don’t already hold, talk to us. The assemblies are our own design, so we can build to the requirement.

Vertical ~ 37.5° FOV
Diagonal ~ 72.5° FOV
Our VFX array rigs are equipped with a matched set of ZEISS CP.3 XD 21mm lenses, ensuring uniformity throughout the stitched image. The CP.3 lenses showcase ZEISS’s renowned clarity and precision, boasting full-frame coverage ideally suited for the RED KOMODO-X cameras. ZEISS eXtended Data Technology captures essential lens data for post-production teams, aiding in achieving optimal stitching results.
ZEISS eXtended Data
The ZEISS eXtended Data (XD) technology, based on the Cooke /i* technology, introduces enhanced opportunities for simplifying and improving the precision of workflows in image capture and processing, particularly in VFX. XD is a distinctive technology that also delivers real-time data on the lens’ distortion and shading characteristics.
ZEISS eXtended Data enhances efficiency and cost-effectiveness in VFX, especially for compositing material from our Array which provides frame-accurate details on:
- Lens distortion characteristics dependent on the focal point
- Lens shading characteristics related to the focal point and effective T-stop
ZEISS Cooke /i* technology offers crucial lens data that delivers frame-accurate details on various aspects:
- Lens name, type, and focal length of the lens
- Calibrated focusing distance
- Calibrated T-stop value
- Real-time depth-of-field data and hyperfocal distance
- Horizontal field of view
- Position of the entrance pupil
Wonderfilm’s VFX Array utilises the power of the Teradek ecosystem with the Bolt 6 LT 1500 feet TX/RX Deluxe kit and CTRL.5 controller. This kit enables wireless multiple-lens iris/focus control, run/stop triggering, and multiple-camera video playback. Everything on the rig can be controlled or monitored remotely up to 1500 feet away.

Every stitch is unique and depends on the material being shot, and final cropping and distortion requirements will vary from shot to shot. Our Arrays are designed with generous overlap between adjacent cameras for reliable vendor processing. We understand that every vendor has a different set of requirements for their Array workflow, so we designed a simple, live stitching review system which can accommodate all scales of productions.
