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 black and features a Switchcraft TA5F connector for use with Lectrosonics wireless transmitters.

Switchcraft TA5F for Lectrosonics    2mm Diameter Duramax Cable    Headroom for General Speaking    Cardioid    Black

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: 1. Looking forward on buying this but was wondering two things. 1. Is the side of the L bracket removable making to where it’s only a bottom plate. 2. Am I able to attach a PeakDesign Plate on the bottom?

A: Yes, you can remove the side bracket and you are able to attach a Peak plate on the bottom.

Q: 2. Will the Peak Design 'Slide' strap fit this L-Bracket using it in the sling position i.e. slung across the shoulder with the camera resting on you right or left side?

A: Yes it will fit perfectly fine

Q: 3. what strap is attatched to the L plate in the pictures of this L plate? I cant find one that looks like it on the site.

A: The strap on the camera in the picture is the KIMAGMS4STRP. You can also get others made by companies like BlackRapid and Spider that have a similar fastening system as well.

Q: 4. Can I screw in a 72mm nd filter with a 82mm step down ring? Or I am gonna have vignetting? thanks

A: Step down rings are generally not the best way to go. You do chance vignetting as well as cutting light and affecting your exposure. In the long run, it is better to do it the right way. You will thank yourself.

Q: 5. Could I use these lenses on a ursa mini 4.6k? since anamorphic mode crops in the sensor to a 4x3 3k. Granted I know I would need an adapter for the lens..

A: Sorry, these lenses cannot be made to work on an URSA Mini. For these lenses to work, we suggest a Panasonic GH4. If you wish anamorphic in Super35, you could use a PL Mount URSA Mini with SLR Magic 1.33x Anamorphot-CINE Lens Set with 35, 50, 70mm Lenses (PL Mount) B&H # SLRAC133PLST.

Q: 6. Is there any safety stop on this RRS L-bracket to stop it sliding towards the grip side out of a loose clamp. In the B&H photos it looks like the bolt underneath securing the L-bracket side part might be high enough to act as a stop. Is this the case? Thanks.

A: Assuming you mean the clamp on the tripod..... If the clamp is loose and the bracket slides towards the grip, then it will stop as the bracket widens to match the size of the grip. In all other directions (landscape and portrait) there is no stop and you will need to catch it.

Q: 7. How sturdy holds in place the Hex key?

A: RRS makes great products and this is no exception, the hex key stays put until your ready to use it.

Q: 8. What makes this specifically for Sony A cameras? I see that there is some plate. What does that do? Do other manfrotto tripods not work with my Sony A?

A: According to the manufacturer, the Manfrotto Quick Release Plate for Sony Alpha a9 and a7 Series Cameras, B&H # MARE112901 • MFR # RE112901 (which is included with the purchase of the Manfrotto Befree GT Travel Carbon Fiber Tripod with 496 Ball Head for Sony a Series Cameras) is designed to match the details and trim of the Sony α7-series and Sony α9 camera bodies, and it is designed with an anti-twist lip to prevent the camera from moving while mounted to the plate to ensure perfect grip, even in the most angled camera shots. The front jut of the plate physically blocks the camera, preventing any play both on tilt and rotational movements, always keeping the camera stuck to the head plate.

Q: 9. Hi! I shoot in adverse conditions and I have concerns around the fact the battery door is no longer on the camera. Is there any type of seal on the bracket to prevent water from getting between the l bracket and the camera

A: Unfortunately no camera brackets have any sealing or weather-proofing built into them.

Q: 10. Can I use this lens on Panasonic G7

A: These lenses will mount on the Panasonic G7 and create an image. We would however, recommend a higher level camera like the Panasonic GH5 to better take advantage of what these lenses can do.
