The cocoa E6 Omnidirectional Earset Mic, Highest Gain, with Detachable 1mm Cable and Hirose 4-Pin Connector for Sony Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a vocal microphone with an adjustable boom that weighs less than one-tenth ounce. It is a water- and wind-resistant microphone that can be used on either ear for capturing audio in houses of worship, theater, or outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, omnidirectional E6 Earset virtually disappears against the skin, so performers forget they're wearing a mic. Three sensitivity options cover general speaking to extremely powerful vocals and four color options allow you to match the E6 to your skin tone for minimum visibility.

In addition, the E6 Earset features three omni caps (very bright +8 dB, bright +4 dB, and flat +0 dB) that deliver response characteristics for most other applications such as recording flute and violin. The E6 Earset is available as a directional microphone too with cardioid and hypercardioid caps. This omnidirectional E6 Earset's cable terminates to a Hirose 4-pin (twist lock) connector for direct connection to a Sony WRT-28, WRT-820A, or WRT-860A wireless bodypack transmitter.

The Countryman E6 head-worn Earset is small and lightweight, and is hardly visible from a distance.

The E6 Earset's stainless steel boom is built tough and can be bent and re-bent many times to fit different performers. The E6 is highly resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps.

The flexible boom is easily shaped right on the performer's face and is available in multiple skin tones. Their protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones; caps for the directional earset adjust the pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid. Choose a sensitivity for speaking or singing with up to 140 dB SPL capability.

The E6 provides high-quality audio with low distortion and an SPL of up to 140 dB. It delivers rich, full band audio quality.

Easy adjustment keeps the mic in a position for rejecting unwanted sounds. Countryman's omnidirectional Earset offers a reduction of 12 dB compared to a lavalier mic, while the directional E6 Earset provides even more isolation. Excellent for houses of worship, theater, and outdoor events.

An E6 replacement cable installs in seconds. The snap-on cables are rugged and available for almost any wireless transmitter or for XLR inputs with phantom power.

For general speaking.

Q: 2. Would the device be only working for the dedicated camera? i.e. the one that works for Nikon would not work for Fuji

A: That is correct.

Q: 3. Will this work with the Nikon Z50?

A: Unfortunately it is not compatible with the Z50, but you can use this ML-L7 remote with the Z50. https://bhpho.to/2wm3oiV

Q: 4. Does it work without battery if I use the cord?Thanks :)

A: Yes it works as a shutter release without the battery and you are able to lock the shutter open by sliding the shutter button up on the remote. The intervalometer will not work unless you have the batteries installed.

Q: 5. Does not work on Sony A7riii?Have it and it doesn't!

A: This would be compatible with the Sony Alpha A7R III

Q: 6. Purchased this unit two days ago and will not fit on top of the Sony a77M2 flash mount. According to website this is the unit for this camera. Cold mount is to big to fit the flash mount. What are you going too do to correct this problem to make this item work properly?

A: Dennis, Not sure what is not fitting properly. Does the locking wheel hit the top of the camera body? I notice from photos of the a77M2 that the top of the body housing comes up flush with the front of the flash hot shoe, which often is not the case with other cameras. Try to fit the receiver in backwards in the flash shoe. The receiver itself doesn't need to attach to the camera for the remote to work. If the unit slides in part way, you can still lock it in with the wheel. But the actual foot of the ShutterBoss receiver mount should fit into a standard flash hot shoe.

Q: 7. Intervalometer

A: Yes Vello ShutterBoss II Timer Remote Switch for Nikon with 10-Pin Connection is an intervalometer.

Q: 8. will this work with a Nikon D300?

A: The Nikon D300 uses the remote with the Nikon 10-Pin Connection. The product code for that is, BH #VERCN12 • MFR #RC-N1II.

Q: 9. I have a Sony a6000 and want to use this remote for sports photography. Will this remote allow me to shoot in drive (continuous) mode at the full 11 FPS?

A: No, I found that when you set it to high speed and you use the wireless shutter release it only shoot in spurts of three. Even if you held the button down it will only shoot three frames at a time, so you'll have to keep releasing and pressing again to have continuous shots. Of course when you do this you loose the full potential of the camera.The only remote to give you the same capabilities of the on-camera shutter is the Wired remote. Please note that these Vello wireless remotes are very high in technology but very low in build quality. You'll find yourself buying new cables every few weeks if you allow even the most moderate stress on them. Even the Sony wired remote has a short lifespan.When the Shutterboss II is working it is truly wonderful. I am content with the three rapid shots (at the full 11fps) because I use it for birds flying off a static perch with the camera attached to a 600mm lens in manual focus. The three shots are fine for me because after three shots the bird will be out of focus anyway.

Q: 10. Will this work on the Pentax K-3?

A: Yes, this will work. The Pentax K-3 takes the same sub-mini connection.
