    Does DSMC2 XL Module Work With DSMC2 Base Expander?

    Just wondering as I want to know if I should get a base expander to go with the XL module so that I can have the option to record audio. Not sure if the XL module will Connect to the base expander or not. If it doesn't then I'm just going to get the I/O V-lock expander.

    Upgraded Firmware To 6.0.37. Now there is a delay in menu selections. Annoying.

    So I upgraded the firmware to my scarlet Dragon today. I followed the instructions exactly as stated on the website. Put the folder on the root of the SSD and turned the camera on. I then let it upgrade and then turned the camera off. Waited 10 seconds and then booted back up. Everything is in...

    Best ND Variable Filter (that doesn't cast color or soften image)?

    I am looking for a variable ND filter to use with my Dragon. I currently have the Fader Filter HD and it cost $200. Its in the fact that it doesn't shift color that much, I do notice that its a little on the soft side. Is the Tiffen any better? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
