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 tan and features a Switchcraft TA5F connector for use with Lectrosonics wireless 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 Duramax 2mm diameter cable provides extra strength, flexibility and durability.

The cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing off-axis residual noise from e 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 general speech without noise and distortion.

Q: 3. 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: 4. 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: 5. Can anyone recommend a flash bracket for this

A: This Wimberley F-1 Telephoto Combo Flash Bracket is a great option. You would need to get a plate that is long and will stick out the front of the foot of your lens. It would need to be a plate that is double dovetail like most Wimberley plates are. The Wimberley flash bracket will go in the front of the plate as it sticks out the front of the gimbal. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/240877-REG/Wimberley_F_1_Telephoto_Combo.html
