Mixing Carbon Fiber and Aluminum Components

NOTE: This section is only applicable to EPIC and SCARLET cameras.

The structural mounting points for the carbon fiber media modules are optimized for the carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET, whereas the structural mounting points for the standard aluminum side SSD modules are optimized for use with the standard aluminum camera.

Using a carbon fiber media module with an aluminum EPIC/SCARLET or using an aluminum side SSD module with a carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET may lead to an unstable connection between the camera and the module, which could affect data integrity.

WARNING: Damage to the camera, side SSD module, or other components of the camera system caused by mixing carbon fiber components with non-carbon-fiber components is not covered under warranty, and may void the warranty for both the camera and the side SSD module.

Summary of Carbon Fiber Restrictions

DO NOT attach any of the following side SSD modules to a carbon fiber EPIC/SCARLET:

  • RED MINI-MAG Side SSD Module
  • DSMC 1.8" SSD Side Module
  • DSMC 1.8" SSD Side Module (RED DRAGON®)

DO NOT attach the following side SSD modules to a standard aluminum EPIC/SCARLET:

  • Carbon Fiber RED MINI-MAG Side SSD Module
  • Carbon Fiber DSMC 1.8" SSD Side Module (DRAGON)
