Contact mic with inbuilt preamp for 5 moons

I’m wondering whether this battery powered contact mic with inbuilt preamp would work with 5 moons? It comes as
diy kit… Metal Marshmallow Contact Mics | Marshmallow DIY Kit (Externally Powered Kit)

It looks like that should work fine with the 5 Moons. If you try it out, let us know how it goes!

Yes, we used the DIY kit, for the Metal Marshmallow contact mic, externally powered by battery, and it works. Great for a portable set up with 5 moons, and has a adjustable gain. .I 'm wondering if we used the same kit( battery powered the inbuilt preamp), with an electret condenser mic like an Primo 272 instead of a contact mic, would that theoretically work directly into the 5 moons? I’m very keen to have a very portable set up, capturing nature sounds etc…
