Here it is!

One thing thats strange and I don’t think it’s me but the touch sensitivity has increased a lot. I have to hold the Shogun with my other hand because I have to push much harder on the function buttons. Let me know if i’m crazy or not! 😀

UPDATE: January 27th.

Seems v6.1 wasn’t ready for prime time because Atomos has released another update. V 6.11

• Fixed occasional issue in playback where the scrub bar would seek to the beginning of the file incorrectly when scrubbing.

I dont know if this update fixes the issue I was experiencing with having to press really hard on the targets to get the item to work. Will update tonight and report back.
