Thunderbolt 3 male to Thunderbolt 2 male lead

[nzguitarman]

Howdee!

Trying to find a Thunderbolt 3 male to Thunderbolt 2 male lead. I see adapters are available but that'd require an extra dongle: Device (Macbook Pro mid-2017) ---> Thunderbolt 3 (male) to Thunderbolt 2 (female) adapter ---> Thunderbolt 2 (male) to Thunderbolt 2 (male) lead ---> Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Recorder

Is there an option to just use a Thunderbolt 3 male to Thunderbolt 2 male lead? so I can skip the adapter?
[doublepost=1532393678][/doublepost]OK - so I'm a newbie and just found others are asking the same question and the answer is nope, juts use the 2 lead solution. More $$ for Apple ... woohhoo

Other companies make adapters

You can give Apple the $50 or wager on another companies higher priced solution.

Thunderbolt is an Intel thing, so be upset that they created it or that Apple implemented it, either way. Decision time.
