The light beige Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic for TBP12 Transmittersfrom Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic for TBP12 Transmittersis a water-resistant, miniature lavalier microphone for capturing high-quality audio. It can be used in a variety of applications such as a tie-clip lavalier in interviews, a hair-hidden mic for drama, a water-resistant mic for water sports and hurricane reporting, or simply a small mic to hide in a prop flower vase.

The B3 capsule is resistant to moisture (IP67), which allows for placement in the hair or on bare skin, and its omnidirectional polar pattern minimizes handling noise, wind noise, and plosives (popping). Furthermore, a variety of skin-matching colors are available. This B3's cable terminates to a TA4F connector for direct connection to TBP12 Line 6 wireless bodypack transmitters Additionally, a carrying case, two cable clips, a windscreen, and three protective caps are also included.

Looks great when you want to see it, virtually disappears when you don't. The B3 is easily hidden in hair or on costumes, with five colors to match clothing, hair, and skin tones. Use a felt tip marker to color the white caps for near-perfect concealability. Never suffer the hassle and degraded sound quality of under-clothing miking again.

The B3 is resistant to makeup, sweat, and moisture when used with the supplied protective caps and works well in hair or on the body. The protective caps are easily removed for cleaning or replacement, and the aramid-reinforced cable gives it world-class survivability.

The B3 provides high-quality audio with low distortion at SPL up to 140 dB for wireless applications. The aramid cable and thin diaphragm combine to offer low handling noise. The flat-frequency response accurately captures voice or instruments, and the small size makes the B3 easy to position for ambient noise and feedback rejection.

Changeable protective caps let you shape the frequency response for different situations or to match other microphones. Versions are available for different speaking or singing styles, with high-overload capability for recording instruments.

Standard, for most uses.

Q: 4. Will this work with a Benro A48FD monopod that has 3 feet? I will be shooting with a Nikon D7200.

A: Yes, it will work if the monopod has a screw on top.

Q: 5. Just received this Benro B3 Ballhead. I want to use this with the Wimberly Sidekick. The 360 panning is extremely stiff. Is there any adjustment available for this??

A: When I rotate my B3 on the panning axis, I can feel some dampening. For use as a ball head, I do not find it excessive. With that said, I cannot whip the head around like lightning. It wants to turn at a constant, and controlled speed. In other words, no jerky stop, starts, or pans. Imagine a panning video camera.. Perhaps, there is too much dampening for your purposes. I am not aware of any friction adjustment for the panning axis.

Q: 6. Will this work with the Rodelink Filmmaker?

Q: 7. Will this concealer work for the Hollyland Lark 150 Lavalier mic?

A: The Bubblebee Industries BBI-LC-RODE-BK Lav Concealer is designed specifically for use with the RODE Lavalier Microphone (B&H # ROLAV) and may not be compatible for use with the Hollyland lavalier microphone for the Lark 150 Digital Wireless Microphone System. As a better option, you can use the Viviana Pads Soft Foam Mounts for Lavalier Microphones - 30-Pack, Black (B&H # VIPAD30BK) which are universal and very easy to use.

Will this fit my set up ok? Don't do video just landscape photography here inn the PNW. Thank you for any help.
