The Countryman E6i Cardioid Microphone is a miniature earset 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 cocoa and features a 3-pin LEMO connector for use with Sennheiser 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 sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture speaking and vocals without noise and distortion.

Q: 1. Is this head sturdy enough for a Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens?

A: It won't break but won't be very useable. I use the Novoflex Magicball for heavy lenses. It's the best. a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/153279-REG/Novoflex_MB_Magic_Ball_with_Socket.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/153279-REG/Novoflex_MB_Magic_Ball_with_Socket.html/a

Q: 6. Will this ballhead be able to support a canon 5d and a 16-35 2.8 L III without any creep?

A: I use this head mostly with a Canon 80D (1.8 lbs.) with a Sigma 150-600 Sport (8 lbs.). There is no creep for me even when lens is fully extended. No issues for me. It is rock solid.

Q: 7. Is this ball head sturdy enough for a 400 mm lens or is it better to go with the K-30X?

A: I have used this head (on the Sirui T-2205X legs) fairly extensively with both 400 and 600mm EFL primes lenses (200 and 300 mm on micro four thirds) and also with a 200-600mm EFL zoom. I have had fairly good results with all of them. I also own a big aluminum Gitzo 320 tripod with a couple of much larger heads (this combination is MUCH heavier than my Sirui carbon tripod and K-20X head). Not surprisingly, the results are usually better with this heavier rig and if you plan to shoot 400mm or longer a lot, especially on a large body (I shoot with Olympus EM1 and Panasonic GH3 bodies most of the time), you might be better off to go heavier. If you shoot mostly shorter focal lengths you should be OK with the K-20X, assuming the tripod legs are not too light and the camera/lens is not too heavy.I use my heavy (almost ten pounds w/ a head!) Gitzo whenever I am willing to carry it, which means roadside and on short hikes. I often shoot several miles from the road and that's where the Sirui carbon tripod and K-20X head get most of their use. With careful technique (one of the biggest factors in shooting super-telephoto - always use a remote release, experiment with image stabilization to find the best results and generally be meticulous) and a willingness to accept a somewhat lower percentage of tack sharp images this head will get the job done. For its size I doubt you will find any head that is noticeably sturdier but bigger heads and bigger legs do make a difference, both in stability and in weight. So, the real question is how much are you willing to carry? A heavy rig plus a lighter one gives you the ability to tailor your tripod to the situation but the K-20X on an appropriate set of legs is very versatile and if you have just one that would be a good choice.

Q: 8. According to the info of In the Box , the quick release plate is included. But when I tried to check out, it prompted me to order the essential accessory of the quick release plate. Is the plate included or do I have to place the extra order? Also, does it fit the Oben tripod? Thank you.

A: The K-40x does come with a quick release plate, you do not need to purchase one separately unless you want a second plate. You can use the K-40x on a set of Oben legs, yes.

Q: 9. I have an ALTA PRO 263AB 100 Tripod. I am looking for a Arca swiss type compatible ball head for my L-bracket. Would this one be compatible?

A: Yes. The K-20x mounts very easily on the Alta Pro. You might need an 1/4"-20 to 3/8"-16 Screw Adapter (BH #SM1610) in case you don't have the one that came with the Alta Pro, as the tripod's camera mounting screw is a 1/4"-20 male, whereas the K-20X's base mount is 3/8"-16 female.

Q: 10. Can this be used with a Canon 7D Mark ii with a 400mm f2.8 IS?

A: I use it with a Nikon D610 and 24-70mm 2.8 which is very heavy.
