The beige E6 Directional Earset Mic, Medium Gain, with Detachable 1mm Cable and 3.5mm Connector for Toa 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 3.5mm connector for direct connection to a Toa WM-370, WM-4310,WM-5320, or WM-5325 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 speaking and vocals.

Q: 1. Is this compatible with nonSony lenses on the A7II?

A: I use this product regularly with my A7II with no problems.Since it plugs into the side of the camera, there really shouldn't be a problem. If you are using a lens adapter you'll need to shoot manually using peak focusing.

Q: 3. does it work with D5100?

A: Yes. The D5100 has a DC-2 connector. Nikon calls it the accessory terminal.

Q: 4. Can I use it with a remote shutter release cable connected to the camera (Canon 6D) without the transmitter ?

A: Yes. The receiver does not use the hot shoe, it can just sit there for stability. The receiver actually works through a cable to the side of the camera, which can be plugged into either the receiver, or the main transmitter.

Q: 5. I want to record a series of back-to-back bulb exposures with *very* little time between exposures -- essentially continuous shooting. Specifically... Can I set the Vello device to 20-sec exposures and 20-sec intervals? ...or must I add a between-shot time delay? (e.g., 19-sec exposures and 20-sec intervals).

A: You need to set the interval. And the fastest is one second.

Q: 6. Is it compatible with and supplied with cable for A99V?

A: I have Sony Alpha 7 11 and it worked very well with it. The web site for Vello products informs you about what cameras it will work. If you still have doubt, the customer service at Vello products was extremely helpful. I had similar questions and concerns before I bought the SutterBoss 11 for my camera.

Q: 7. will it work on Nikon D3400?

A: I'm sorry, I am unable to answer this question. I own Sony equipment and have not had a chance to try it on the Sony yet

Q: 8. Will this also work with a Fuji x100f?

A: I have no idea.

Q: 9. 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: 10. The description states that when using it with your camera in bulb mode, slide the shutter release button forward to lock and the shutter will stay open until YOU release it. Doesn't this have a feature where one could set a time for the shutter to release so you do not have to be present to release the shutter?

A: Yes there is a setting for that. You have to set it up to have the shutter release more then once, and you can set the duration and what not as well, like macro program
