The e 865S Handheld Supercardioid Condenser Microphone with On/Off Switch from Sennheiser represents the first condenser microphone in the acclaimed evolution series. A live performance, lead vocal microphone, the e 865 easily cuts through high-on-stage levels by virtue of its detailed and natural 40 Hz to 20 kHz reproduction and superb transient response.

Its smooth supercardioid polar pattern rejects feedback with low, off-axis coloration. The e 865 withstands sound pressure levels of up to 150 dB and deftly suppresses pop noise. While it picks up the finest sonic nuances, the e 865 is at the same time rugged, benefiting from high-quality workmanship and a robust all-metal housing.

Q: 1. will this QR work with an arca swiss plate?

A: The only way to do it is to attach a large arca swiss plate to the the GItzo plate and then attach your existing arca swiss foot to that plate. I have a 4" third party plate and have it attached to a arca type foot plate attached to the existing foot of my Nikkor 200-500mm. Solid footing.
