Does the K1 / 2 adaptor allow use for 4 audio channels on the FS 5?
Asked by: Anonymous
We're afraid not. The FS5 only supports 2 channels of Audio. You would need to move up to the FS7, B&H # SOPXWFS7, for such a capability. https://bhpho.to/2bgMFyr

Is the smart shoe on the body of the unit or the one with the cable (or both)? I would like to mount this on a RX10MII to eliminate the cables of my current interface.
Asked by: Tom
If you are looking to eliminate cables then you would want to look the Sony XLR-K2M XLR Adapter Kit with Microphone instead, B&H # SOXLRK2M. This connect directly to the camera's Multi-Interface Shoe. https://bhpho.to/2ALfscG
