Shure VP83 LensHopper Camera Mount Microphone

The Shure VP83 LensHopper is a compact, lightweight shotgun microphone designed specifically for DSLR cameras and HD camcorders. Engineered to capture detailed, high-definition audio with a full low-end response, the VP83 is an ideal solution for content creators, filmmakers, streamers, and mobile journalists who require professional sound quality directly from their camera setup.

Featuring a highly directional supercardioid and lobar polar pattern, the VP83 focuses on the intended sound source while effectively rejecting unwanted off-axis noise.

The VP83 incorporates an integrated Rycote Lyre shock mounting system, custom-developed for this model, to provide excellent isolation from vibrations and mechanical noise. This advanced suspension design significantly reduces handling and camera noise, resulting in clearer recordings even during handheld or on-the-move shooting.

Powered by a single AA battery, the VP83 offers up to 125 hours of operation, making it highly reliable for extended recording sessions. With its compact form factor, durable construction, and dependable performance, the Shure VP83 LensHopper is a practical and professional choice for high-quality on-camera audio capture.
