I'm trying to use the Sync to Camera feature with my Arri Alexa Mini, but it's not working. Is MovieSlate compatible with the Alexa Mini for camera sync?

MovieSlate can sync with the Arri Alexa Mini, but not via the Timecode Systems Pulse smart hub that worked with the original Alexa and Alexa XT. Arri used a completely different sync subsystem in the Alexa Mini, which is incompatible with that wireless protocol.
Instead, you can sync using wired LTC timecode via the camera's 5-pin LEMO port:

• You'll need a LEMO-to-3.5mm TRRS cable compatible with the MIC input on your iOS device.
• If your iOS device lacks a 3.5mm headphone port (such as newer iPhones and iPad Pros), you'll also need a Lightning-to-3.5mm or USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter.
