The beige E6 Directional Earset Mic, Highest Gain, with Detachable 2mm Cable and Pigtail Leads Connector for Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a vocal microphone with an adjustable boom that weighs less than one-tenth ounce. It can be used on either ear for capturing audio and rejecting unwanted sound, feedback, or surrounding noise from stage monitors or nearby speakers in houses of worship, theater, and outdoor vocal and speech applications.

The low-profile, directional 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 a pattern-changeable directional microphone for maximum isolation and gain before feedback, but is available as a water- and wind-resistant omnidirectional microphone too. This directional E6 Earset's cable terminates to a pigtail connector that is stripped and tinned (unterminated) with a two-wire connector for use with a 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 145 dB SPL capability.

The E6 provides high-quality audio with low distortion and an SPL of up to 145 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: 1. Will this work to start video on a Canon 5D Mark iii?

A: As indicated on page 244 of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR camera's instruction manual, you can go to the camera's MENU button, then go to the Camera Settings menu (to the 5th tab), where there is an option that says Movie Shooting Button. If you choose the setting that allows you to use both the shutter button and the START/STOP button to begin video recording, you could then use a remote shutter release to start the video recording (however, do note that, with this setting, you would not be able to take pictures during video recording). If you have the above setting set in your camera, then yes, the Vello Wireless ShutterBoss II Remote Switch with Digital Timer for Select Canon Cameras may be used to start video recording on your camera.

Q: 2. With this work on the d500

A: Yes, this remote is compatible with the Nikon D500.

Q: 3. Will this work with the Nikon D750?

A: Yes, the Vello Shutterboss Version II Timer Remote Switch for Nikon with DC2 Connection would be compatible for use with the Nikon D750 DSLR camera.

Q: 4. I am trying to use this for my new Sony A9 and it doesn't appear to be working. I hit the shutter release button and nothing happens. Although it will take a picture if I hit the start/stop button. Fresh batteries on the Shutterboss, so that isn't the problem. Connection is good and solid. I even ordered a second one and tried that and had the same problem. What might the problem be?

A: Hi Corey, I'm not sure I can assist you with the A9 but on a recent trip to NY, I purchased this unit for the A7RII. With the A7RII the unit has worked flawlessly. I had a hard time finding a unit with these capabilities which was compatible with my camera and was hesitant to purchase given some feedback on a number of other units. Here is what I have found. Not only does the remote work with my A7RII, it also works well with my RX100mV. While all new cameras have a few teething problems, can I suggest that you remove the batteries and see if the unit triggers the camera as a simple remote. If it works, maybe there is a problem with the remote. If it doesn't then go to the camera settings and do a full reset of the camera setting (just in case something has been accidentally changed in the menu's. If the remote still doesn't work I would suggest letting Sony know. There are always firmware updates which address these type of issues once products have been on the market and field tested. Good luck. Cheers, Jim

Q: 5. does this unit work with extension cord MC-21 from Nikon?

A: The Nikon MC-21 is specifically designed for use with Nikon 10-pin remote shutter releases. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that it would work with a third party remote shutter release such as the ShutterBoss. We dont have one in stock to try.

Q: 6. Looking for a controller for A58... Compatible?

Q: 7. Is this, Vello Shutterboss Version II Timer Remote Switch for Nikon with DC2 better than a Yongnuo RF-603N II Wireless Flash Trigger Kit for Nikon DC2 Connection ??

A: I believe the Vello Shutterboss Version II is a better product than the Yongnuo. It has never failed me and the battery last quite a long time. I have owned two of these devices, one for a Nikon d7100 and now for the Nikon D810. I also believe that the wired versions of these devices are more reliable.

Q: 8. Will this work with Rebel SL2 ?

A: The impression you get is that Vello has distinctly different models for different cameras, but it appears that the only difference is the cable that connects to the camera. As long as your camera has an input for a remote shutter, and you pick the right cable, you should be good. I ordered one for my 80d, but I see that I can order a cable for my 7d and should be good for both.

Q: 9. Will this work with Panasonic G9 ?

Q: 10. Will this work with the Canon EOS R5 and R6?
