The black I2 Instrument Microphone, High Gain, with 3.5mm Connector for Toa WM-370, WM-4310, WM-5320, and WM-5325 Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a mic that has been engineered from the ground up for natural on- and off-axis frequency response, low-noise, and precise polar patterns with deep nulls. This tiny instrument microphone can be used to capture audio in sound reinforcement applications for saxophone, violin, viola, cello, double bass, acoustic guitars, piano, brass, and percussion instruments.

The I2 instrument microphone is suitable for distance miking that is invisible in front of audiences and on camera. This version features increased sensitivity for distance miking and capturing detail in quieter instruments. It is supplied with a foam windscreen, a basic clip, and a carrying case. In addition, the 5' cable is permanently attached to the mic and terminates to a 3.5mm connector for direct connection to Toa WM-370, WM-4310, WM-5320, and WM-5325 wireless bodypack transmitters.

Hypercardioid Polar Pattern    For Instruments and Sound Reinforcement    Natural On-/Off-Axis Frequency Response    For Uncolored Recordings    Reduced Feedback Issues

The I2 maintains excellent pattern control and frequency response at all angles. It offers uncolored recordings and reduced feedback issues.

Flexible close miking techniques can be aided by the various selection of instrument mounts (sold separately), which position securely and gently to strings, brass, and more.

Small size and sonic precision makes this microphone suitable for X-Y, M-S, and other techniques that rely on accurate, coincident positioning, and consistent patterns.

The hypercardioid polar pattern has a narrower pickup pattern in its front than the cardioid polar pattern. It offers better rejection of ambient noise and the working distance is about twice that of the omni polar pattern. The hypercardioid has a small “pickup lobe” directly behind the microphone and exhibits maximum rejection areas behind and to the sides (about 60 degrees away from the rear of the microphone on either side) of the mic. The hypercardioid pattern works best when the loudest unwanted sounds—like speakers—can be positioned in these nulls.

Q: 1. Once you start a interval sequence, can you adjust the camera settings between shots(on the camera itself)? Hoping to be able to use this for the Holy Grail time-lapse method on the Sony a6500. I ask because the play memories app does not allow you to change settings once the sequence starts...

A: Yes you can change the settings on the camera in between shots.

Q: 2. Can I use it with a remote shutter release cable connected to the camera (Canon 6D) without the transmitter ?

A: Yes. The receiver does not use the hot shoe, it can just sit there for stability. The receiver actually works through a cable to the side of the camera, which can be plugged into either the receiver, or the main transmitter.

Q: 3. canon 5d markiv settings for RC-C2II ShutterBoss II Timer Remote ?

A: Just plug it into the camera and it's ready to use on manual. The other ShutterBoss features require turning on the unit.

Q: 4. Is there any advantage of buying a wired timer remote versus buying a wireless timer remote? Or vice versus? Is one really better than the other?

A: The wired remote always works the same cannot be said for the wireless plus I believe it uses up more battery in your camera. The always works is what I want and having a cable is not a big deal.

Q: 5. Will this allow shutter speeds of less than one second? I want to do 5-7 auto exposure bracketing at a 2 stop interval on my canon rebel t6s, which has a native limit of 3 shots, but not long exposure shots, just simple flash-less interiors. Thank You.

A: The shortest delay with this device is one second.

Q: 6. When button is depressed and held, does this complete all shots for a bracketed / HDR image?

A: If the camera is set for bracketing/HDR, yes. One depression of release works, camera does the rest.

Q: 7. Does this work on a Canon T4i?

A: No , for Canon T4I you will need Vello ShutterBoss II Timer Remote Switch for Canon with Sub Mini Connection BH #VERCC12

Q: 8. Does this work with the Cannon EOS M50?

A: Sorry I have the 5D mark lll

Q: 9. can this be used to start & stop video recording? Canon T5i

A: This remote cannot be used for video.

Q: 10. Will this remote start and stop video?

A: some cameras you can assign the shutter to start stop video , if your camera allows you to do that then you can use this remote to start/stop video
