The Countryman E6i Cardioid Microphone is a miniature earset 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 1/8" Mini connector for use with Azden 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 sensitivity response is optimized to accurately capture speaking and vocals without noise and distortion.

Q: 3. does this not come with a quick release plate if no what kind of quick release plate can this use??

A: The 128LP does not have a quick release system, it has a screw that you use to secure the camera directly on to the head. However you could add a quick release system to the top of this unit, such as the Manfrotto 394 Low Profile Quick Release Adapter or Oben QRA-R2.

Q: 4. what if my gears are let's say only 2kg in some setups. the Counterbalance is still going to work?

A: The load will need to be between (8.8 to 26.4 lb / 3.99 to 11.97 kg) for proper performance.

Q: 5. How well will this head work with Canon R5 and 600mm lens?

A: This tripod head works well with longer lenses such as the canon 600mm. It is a fluid head which helps create smooth motion. it also has drag control to increase/decrease the resistance as you pan and tilt. When using a tripod head like this it is best to make sure the lens/camera is balanced on the head (not too far backwards or forwards) to get optimal performance.

Q: 6. Does this head come with its own camera mounting plate or do I need to buy separately?

A: The plate is included.

Q: 7. Is the plate a standard Monfrotto and compatible with other Monfrotto video heads?

A: Yes it is. This includes the 504PLONGR Camera Plate which is compatible with most of the other heads like the 502 and 504.

Q: 8. How long is the line length?

A: It is a six-foot cable (1.83m) and therefore correctly described in the other answer. This cable is three feet shorter than that of the extension head for the original AD600 so as to reduce the voltage drop. Because of that, the effect on the intensity of the light is a drop of only about 0.1 stops, which is absolutely minimal and excellent! Now, if you want to mount this extension head more than six feet above the ground, you can typically attach the AD600 Pro to the riser (i.e. vertical column) your C-stand or strong light stand with a super clamp and snap-in pin (A.K.A. spigot) so that it is within six feet of the extension head.
