The specs say operating temperature of Mix Pre 3 ...
The specs say operating temperature of Mix Pre 3 II is -4 to 86°F . The Mix pre 3 goes up to 140°. Thats a huge difference. 86° is ridiculously low. Is that correct?
Per Sound Devices, the operating temperature range is -20 to 60 C, which is -4 to 140 Fahrenheit. I have sent a note to the web group for a correction.

What cable would I need to run stereo out audio from the Sound Devices MixPre3-II to a Canon R5C mic input?
The Sound Devices MixPre-3 II 3-Channel / 5-Track Multitrack 32-Bit Field Recorder features unbalanced line-level output signal. You can use a level-matching cable like the Sescom LN2MIC-TASDR100 Line Out to Camera Mic Level In Cable (B&H # SEL2MTDR100) to convert the line-level stereo audio signal coming out of the recorder into mic-level signal for compatibility with the camera's 3.5mm mic input.

What is the correct cable to connect to camera from aux port for scratch track?
1/8" stereo from the MixPre. Other end would depend on the camera.

What accessory can I use to mount this on a mic ...
What accessory can I use to mount this on a mic stand or neck of a tripiod?
There is 1/4 inch thread in the bottom, just like you'd find in the bottom of a camera. Mount it directly to anything with a 1/4 screwpost.
There is also a springloaded 1/4 post/bolt for the top, that lives recessed inside. Push a hex wrench up through a hole in the bottom, to pop it out on top and screw it into whatever you want to mount there.
So you either need something with 1/4" post, or an adapter to 1/4". As an example, here's what I do much of the time for a static shot of a live music performance:
1. Turn camera upside down, then place MixPre upside down on the bottom of the camera.
2. Use the hex wrench to push the 1/4" post into the 1/4" thread of the camera, and tighten it down. Now the MixPre is mounted to the camera.
3. Place quick-release plate (for tripod) upside down on the MixPre, line up the 1/4" post of the plate with the 1/4" thread of the MixPre, and tighten it down.
Now you have a camera and audio recorder in one unit, with a quick release plate for mounting on a tripod.
To mount it on a mic stand... just need an adapter from your mic stand threads to 1/4" post.

I couldn't say you are asking about a product that has not even arrived yet. The F6 does not arrive till October.

Can you jam timecode from a camera that sends timecode over hdmi like the Sony FS5 without leaving the hdmi cable plugged in?
The MixPre does not see timecode from an external source, unless it is recorded onto an unused audio track. It does have a generator that can feed your other devices, such as a camera.

On the specs for the Mixpre 3 II, it says there are 3 XLR-1/4 Combo inputs. That is incorrect according to the pictures. They are only XLR inputs and not a Combo Input. Can you confirm?
Yes, I can confirm that the 2 Mixpre 3 ll units that I purchased from B&H have only the XLR inputs.
