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 is cocoa and features the Lectrosonics A3M connector for use with their H-series bodypack 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 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's sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture both vocal performances and speech without distortion.

Q: 1. Will the Slik 504QF2H fluid head fit on the Slik ABLE 300dx?Will the original 4-way quick release mount (SLQR300DX) supplied with the Slik ABLE 300dx (SL300DX) work with the Slik 504QF2H fluid head???

A: The fluid head has a standard thread to mount to my tripod, so it was no problem to mount. The existing head from my tripod did not use the 4-way quick release, so I cannot comment on that.For an inexpensive fluid head, I really like the feel, I am happy with the performance so far, good value.

Q: 2. Is this head compatible with Manfrotto 501PL quick release plates?

A: Yes, it is compatible.

Q: 3. Does this come with the panning bar/ handle

A: yes it does.

Q: 4. Will this head work with arca-swiss type plates??

A: No, the Benro BV6 Video Head works with Manfrotto 501PL style plates. You can use a quick release adapter for Arca Swiss plates on the Benro head. Just attach the following quick release to the plate that comes with the Benro head: SmallRig Arca-Type Quick Release Baseplate BH #SM2143B

Q: 5. I cant tighten the plate because the screw to tighten it butts up against our 5D M3. It retracts slightly, but not nearly enough to turn it while the camera is mounted. What am I doing wrong??

A: The lever is on a ratcheting arm. Pull the lever out, reposition and tighten.

Q: 6. Can the S8 video head be used effectively on a monopod - specifically the Benro A48FD? Benro offers S4 and S6 monopod kits, but they don't offer an S8 monopod kit, and I'd like the better panning features of the S8 when I use the head on sliders and tripods.

A: Look at the new Benro S7 video head, similar in weight to the S6 (which is great btw) but with the added panning adjustment of the S8 - the best of both worlds! Wish this existed when I returned my S8 to get the S6 because the weight (5.7lbs for the S8 vs just 3.2lb for the S7 and even slightly lighter for the S6) was just killing it's practical use outside the studio.

Q: 7. Is this a fluid head?

A: Yes this is a fluid head. I have not used it as much as I was hoping for yet. Probably because of the weight, but it's really smooth to use, so yes I can definetly recommend it :)

Q: 8. Will this work with a Peak Design "Standard Plate"?

A: The Magnus GH-M1 Gimbal Head is compatible with Arca-type plates, L-brackets, and rails. So the answer is yes, a Peak Design standard plate will fit since it is an Arca type plate.

Q: 9. Is this head compatible with Benro M-027 tripod?

Q: 10. Is this gimbal compatible with the Magnus REX VT-4000 pro, two 2 video tripod?
