The Countryman E6i Cardioid Microphone is a miniature ear-set microphone for virtually invisible operation in stage performances, trade shows, houses-of-worship, auctions, lectures and much more.

The cardioid version effectively minimizes off-axis feedback and noise from nearby monitor speakers, instruments and noisy sources. Flexible microphone positioning is maintained and the included windscreen minimizes the wind noise often associated with cardioid microphones.

The E6i is set apart from the original E6 with its softer flexible boom and silicon ear-pads. The flexible boom provides ease of boom adjustability to accommodate multi-user applications.

A wide variety of colors and connections are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is tan and features a 1/8" Locking-mini connector for use with Sony wireless transmitters.

A miniature cardioid capsule is mounted to a low-profile, flexible frame. This lightweight, unobtrusive design is available in various colors that virtually render the entire microphone invisible against the skin.

The included removable, quick-swap cable detaches from the actual headset, making it completely replaceable in the event of a short or break. The replaceable cable design makes upgrading wireless microphone systems easy, as they are available in a wide selection of connections to accommodate various wireless transmitters.

The cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing off-axis residual noise from e nearby monitor speakers, instruments and loud sources. The result is increased signal-to-noise ratio and minimal feedback. The flexible boom provides a custom fit for multiple users and close microphone positioning. The E6i is also available in an omnidirectional version for maximum control over wind noise and plosives (popping).

This E6i's sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture general speech without noise and distortion.

Q: 1. Can this holster accommodate 1 DSLR and 1 mirrorless camera? Do I have to buy separate plates?

A: This kit can accommodate one DSLR and one mirrorless camera. You don't need extra plates as this is a whole kit that includes two plates. The plate is larger since it is for a DSLR. It will stick out further on the front of the camera since the mirrorless cameras are usually thinner. If you have a lens adapter on the camera with a tripod socket on the adapter that could be a problem, but if you don't, it shouldn't be a problem.

Q: 2. Can it fire a Nikon flash from a Lumix gh-3?

A: With the exception of the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash, yes, the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Universal Plus Set should trigger a Nikon flash when the flash is set to full manual mode and the flash output power it set manually. With the output set manually, it should be able to be triggered using the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus connected to the hot shoe on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera.

A: Unfortunately Spider Camera Holster Spiderpro Mirrorless Single Camera System v2 is not available for Manfrotto. The SpiderPro plate has a 1/4" screw opening in the bottom. So you can screw in the Manfrotto plate there. It will work if your tripod head is small and has clearance for the pin that is built into the Spiderpro plate.
