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 a Waterproof 2.5mm 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 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. Can this head hold a Blackmagic Ursa broadcast camera with shoulder mount handle, studio view finder, Fujinon XA220SX8, focus and zoom controls?

A: Yes, this fluid head has a load capacity of 8.8 to 26.4 lb and will handle your rig.

Q: 2. Are there any travel restrictions or concerns with flying since it has a gas piston built in?

A: I can give two unofficial answers: (1) As an engineer who works with pressurized gases often, I'd bet a decent amount that the device is safe to travel in any aircraft. Consider: it has to maintain sealed pressure over years of use, and is surely built with a nice safety margin. So, a few hours at a very slightly higher delta-P is not going to make it fail. (2) Common sense suggests this tripod is unlikely to be noticed by anyone as a pressurized device; it's not exactly an aerosol can. But if you call attention to it, then our well-intended Barny Fife's of the world are almost certain to get excited. So, check it with confidence, and don't talk about it.

Q: 4. is this Nitrotech different than the traditional fluid head?

A: It's a slightly different engineering concept (nitrogen pistons) than a traditional fluid head, but functions the same way. :)

Q: 5. Is this video head capable of controlled slow panning at 20x zoom?

A: This is a high quality fluid head. As the operator, if you can pan smoothly with a 20x zoom, the head can certainly handle it too. If you can't, it won't be the head's fault.
