Q: 1. Is this compatible with the D810?

A: No, it is not. The Nikon WT-7A Wireless Transmitter is only compatible for use with the Nikon D500 DSLR camera. Nikon lists the Nikon WT-5A Wireless Transmitter, B&H # NIWT5A, and the Nikon UT-1 Communication Unit With WT-5A, B&H # NIUT1WT5A, as the only wireless units compatible for use with the Nikon D810 DSLR camera.

Q: 2. Can I remotely adjust the strobe power or does the transmitter only trigger the light

A: This is only for sync.

Q: 3. Will this work for the original a7, I only see the 2 and 3 listed.

A: Unfortunately it is not compatible with an A7.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with the D800?

A: This product is not compatible with the Nikon D800.

Q: 5. Is this unit compatible when using the MB D-17 battery grip ?

A: You wouldn't be able to use both the WT-7A and the MBD-17 together.

Q: 6. What is the thread on the outside of this microphone? I'm working to create a custom mount for a pair of them and would like to find suitable hardware to mount them.

A: Shure lists the thread size as 7/8"-14 UNF-2B. All relevant installation dimensions for the MX395 are provided by Shure here: http://service.shure.com/s/article/mx395-installation-dimensions?language=en_US You can find additional information in the user manual which also includes a diagram showing all measurements of the mic on page 11 (use the page numbers printed on the pages, not the pdf page numbers): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/89562.pdf

Q: 7. How many lights can this transmitter control?

A: The remote has only one group. You could use two lights but they will have the same settings.

Q: 8. What are the cable's connections?

A: The MX396 is supplied without a connector. Typically, an installer will use phoenix block-type connectors or XLR connectors on the cable. It is OK to separate the cable wires out to three separate XLR connectors.

Q: 9. why do we need this, if the camera has built in wifi?

A: This boosts the effectiveness of the built-in WiFi by adding a wired ethernet port, as well as faster connectivity. The range of use is also increased to 656 feet.

Q: 10. Will this mic survive water being splashed on it?

A: Shure does not rate the MX395 Microflex Low-Profile Boundary Microphone models for water resistance. This will probably withstand one or two accidents or water spills, but I would not recommend installing it in an environment where that will happen frequently. If the microphone does get wet, it would be best to wipe it dry as soon as possible. Repeated exposure to spills or splashes will damage the microphone. For conference rooms where water spills are more likely, using a hanging mic like this suspended over the table could be less likely to suffer damage from accidents: https://bhpho.to/2xVQp7s
