The Countryman E6i Cardioid Microphone is a miniature ear-set 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 only includes the microphone, the cable is sold separately.

Headroom for Strong Vocals    Cardioid    Beige

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 cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing off-axis residual noise from 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 E6's sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture strong vocals without noise and distortion. The high headroom is well suited for singers and performers in stage and broadcast applications.

Q: 1. will these work on a Nikon 200mm macro lens?

A: Yes.

Q: 2. I have a 100 mm macro lens and want to use these extension tubes with it. Is the seal between THE TUB AND THE LENS secure and tightly fitted? Another set I have is loose and I cannot use it for fear of lens falling off..This probably applies to other lens also and not just the 100 mm macro.. Thank you.

A: I'm using a set of Kenko Extension tubes with a 100mm 2,8L lens and its not loose at all.

Q: 3. Will these allow you to reverse your lens for even greater magnification? I'm sure you'd have to shoot full manual if you did.

A: No, a reverse adapter is a different accessory and method to get macro closeness. If you are using G lenses with no aperture ring, the reverse method is problematic because you wont have aperture control. These tubes send the aperture setting to the lens from the camera.

Q: 8. 1) Is it possible to shoot 5952x3140 at either 50fps or 59.94fps in full frame? 2) Is it possible to shoot 4096x2160 in either 50fps or 59.94fps in full frame? 3) Is it possible to shoot 3840x2160 at 50fps or 59.94fps in full frame? I’m just trying to understand if there is a crop factor that gets applied if I shoot in 50fps or 59.94fps? Thank you.

A: According to Cinema5D, “Cinema RAW Light can be shot at 5.9K and 4K at up to 60 frames per second, and at 2K in up to 120 fps in a cropped mode, unfortunately. Once you switch to the XF-AVC codec in 10-bit 4:2:2, you can shoot 4K DCI, UHD, 2K and HD only, there’s no 5.9K option in this codec. (4K is delivered by 5.9K Oversample processing so no image crop applied). With XF-AVC you can also shoot up to 60 frames in 4K, and 120 frames in 2K and HD – but only cropped.”

Q: 9. I returned one set of Vello tubes and am having pretty much the same problems with the 2nd set. With all 3 on a 200mm macro Nikon lens, I get FE for aperture. And there is vignetting with the tubes. Put on a 300mm 2.8 lens, it tries to focus but never locks. Does the Kenko set have the same reduced inner diameter that causes vignetting and are they likely to have the same problems?

A: The Kenko Auto Extension Tubes have a reduced inner diameter, however they will not cause vignette when being used.
