Does what it says, only a minor complaint. I have 5pin timecode connecters that are specifically made to have a 90º turn so they can fit on an ARRI Alexa Mini. When I try to use them so I don’t have long straight 5pin sticking out the side of my FX3, the 90º part comes across the R/S connecter blocking it. It might be nice to have it clocked in a different direction (or maybe I should just live with the straight one and shut my pie hole :)
