I got done reading the Scarlet manual last night. This camera does even more than I thought, so customizable. Anyway, I did a search on the forum before posting this, but forgive me if it's a repeat. I don't know how "democratic" changing the manual is, but a couple of things caught my eye. Writing operation guides have to be a little mind-numbingly difficult to make. For the most part the Scarlet manual is a good read and easy to follow.

One thing that might be a remnant of the RED ONE manual is a reference to Compact Flash on page 75 that might need to come out???: "on the CF or 1.8" SSD"
And I'm not sure if this will be added later somehow but on page 112 it mentions "Toggle ND Filter." I'm a little confused by this one.

Naturally, there are some other grammatical errors, which I'd post if it'd benefit whoever is putting the manuals together; just trying to help.

I did feel like I wanted a little more info on how to set the stops for HDRx, but maybe it'll make more sense when we get our camera. I also lost track of where I was in the menus around the introduction of the Zebras. I had to track back to understand where I was, but the other PDF of the menu hierarchy really helped. That one PDF on my phone is gonna be a time saver.

Anyway, just brushing up and trying to learn in anticipation. Can someone tell me if "Toggle ND Filter" is a feature that works and how? Thanks.
 
Knock yerself out. RED owners are pretty shameless about pointing out problems with RED stuff, in part because RED is so open to it! A company that listens to its customers. What a concept.
Really, its probably one of the reasons I am dropping Big Coin on my RED without having ever seen one in person, let alone use one. Would never buy a car that way...

Cool. Just didn't want to come off as "that guy."

Minor adjustments:
p75 "on the CF or 1.8"
p77 "IMPORTANT:... import and existing one"
p83 "noisy if gained up in postproduction"
p89 "overlays visible the on the Viewfinder"
p132 "change the look of the playback clips be changing" & "MEDIA, SEETINGS, and META"
p206 "also avoiding underexpose of elements"
