The beige B3 Omnidirectional Lavalier Mic, Low Sens, with TA4F Connector for Shure Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a water-resistant, miniature lavalier microphone for capturing high-quality audio. It can be used in a variety of applications such as a tie-clip lavalier in interviews, a hair-hidden mic for drama, a water-resistant mic for water sports and hurricane reporting, or simply a small mic to hide in a prop flower vase.

The capsule is resistant to moisture, which allows for placement in the hair or on bare skin, and its omnidirectional polar pattern minimizes handling noise, wind noise, and plosives (popping). Furthermore, a variety of skin-matching colors are available. The B3's cable terminates to a TA4F connector for direct connection to a Shure AXT100+, BLX1, FP1, GLXD1, PG1, PGX1, PGXD1, QLXD1, SLX1, UC1, ULX1, ULXD1, UR1, or UR1M wireless bodypack transmitter. Additionally, a carrying case, two cable clips, a windscreen, and three protective caps are also included.

Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B3 is easily hidden in hair or on costumes, with five colors to match clothing, hair, and skin tones. Use a felt tip marker to color the white caps for near-perfect concealability. Never suffer the hassle and degraded sound quality of under-clothing miking again.

The B3 is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps, and works well in hair or on the body. The protective caps are easily removed for cleaning or replacement, and the aramid-reinforced cable gives it world-class survivability.

The B3 provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 150 dB on 48V phantom power. The aramid cable and thin diaphragm combine to offer low handling noise. The flat frequency response accurately captures voice or instruments, and the small size makes the B3 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection.

Changeable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. Versions are available for different speaking or singing styles, with high overload capability for recording instruments.

Low, head miking for theater.

Q: 1. 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.

Q: 2. Does this work with the Sony nex 5?

Q: 5. What is the best intervalometer for a Nikon D3000 that will also allow me to do HDR?

Q: 6. Just want to confirm that I can choose an exact exposure time, say 7 seconds, and then take a couple of shots, and then change to 4 seconds (without adjusting the time on the camera!) and keep shooting using only the remote with the display showing the selected interval? Thinking about fireworks photography when you want to keep experimenting with the shutter time but don't want to touch the camera.

A: You can adjust the shutter speed as long as the camera is in Bulb mode. The fastest shutter speed the ShutterBoss can achieve is 1 second. If you need a shutter speed faster than 1 second then you will need to use the camera's setting.
