Each capsule is powered via 48 VDC phantom power and delivers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

I'd like to see a picture of the custom shockmount. And I'd like to clamp this to a Manfrotto extension boom https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1364396-REG/manfrotto_mboomcfvr_mus_virtual_reality_carbon_fiber.html. Can anyone recommend the parts to do so?
The Auray 5/8" Male to 3/8" & 1/4"-20 Female Combo Reversible Thread Adapter (Steel), BH #AUADCOMBOS would adapt the shock mount to the Manfrotto extension boom.

Hi. Tell me plz, can I record this mic output to the zoom h6? Thank you!
Yes, you can. You will record all four tracks separately and then in your DAW position each in the ambiosonic space you desire.

In a video I saw they said that the mic comes with a pelican-style hard case but I don't see it listed here. Is there a hard case? If yes, what are the dimensions of the case? Thank you
The NT-SF1 comes in a full kit, including custom suspension shockmount, blimp-style windshield and furry wind cover. It is all shipped in a beautiful presentation box. A hard Pelican type case is not included.

I bought this mic, but I noticed that the channel 4 record level is significantly lower than 1-3. is this normal? or do I have a defective mic? I'm recording on a zoom F6 set for ambisonic recording.
It may be, but first make sure that each of the 4 input gain settings on the recorder are the same. If they are, just switch one of the known working channels to the one that seems to be lower and see if you get the same result. If so, you may have a defective mic.

This wouldn't be able to connect with a Zoom F3 correct as it is a 2 track recorder. This mic requires 4 tracks?
For full ambisonic recording with the RODE SoundField NT-SF1 microphone, you would need to record 4 tracks of audio. I would recommend considering the Zoom F6: https://bhpho.to/2YDC3S4
