NOTE: 

For EPIC and SCARLET cameras, the DSMC Fan 2.0 (Bottom) and the DSMC Magnesium PL Mount 2.0 are 

not natively compatible with each other, since the fan grill prevents the lens mount locking ring from rotating. To use 
these devices together, remove the lower tabs from the locking ring using a T8 TORX driver.
