FYI--just discovered an issue during a shoot that was annoying to me that might be annoying to others. One particular lens combo with Dragon and Motion Mount is trouble:
Canon 100-400mm works great. Add the Canon 1.4x extender though and you lose the ability to reliably change aperture or MM ND value. Tried it all kinds of different ways--power camera on with lens on, without lens, without extender, bla bla. 70-200 with 1.4x works just fine.
It's a great combo, but it only works sometimes. Throw some screw on NDs in the bag just in case if you're heading out.
