Shure VP83F Lenshopper Camera Mount Microphone With Flash

Shure VP83F LensHopper Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

The Shure VP83F LensHopper is a professional compact condenser shotgun microphone designed for DSLR cameras, HD camcorders, and portable audio recorders. Built for creators who demand flexibility and high-quality sound, the VP83F combines on-camera recording with integrated digital flash recording, ensuring you never miss critical audio. Without great sound, video is only half the story—and the VP83F completes it.

Featuring a highly directional supercardioid and lobar polar pattern, the VP83F focuses tightly on the desired sound source while rejecting unwanted background noise. This makes it ideal for interviews, dialogue, streaming, and field production. The microphone supports high-quality standalone recording directly to microSD cards in 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV format, with up to 15 hours of recording available on an 8 GB card.

An easy-to-read backlit LCD display and five-position joystick provide intuitive control over gain, monitoring, low-cut filtering, track management, and playback. Audio gain can be precisely adjusted up to 60 dB in 1 dB increments, allowing accurate level matching for any recording environment. A dedicated 3.5 mm headphone output enables real-time audio monitoring, while a detachable coiled cable allows simultaneous recording directly to the camera.

The VP83F features superior RF immunity to protect against interference from mobile phones and wireless devices. Its integrated Rycote Lyre shock mounting system effectively isolates the microphone from vibrations and mechanical noise, while the included foam windscreen reduces wind and plosive noise. Durable all-metal construction, long battery life of up to 10 hours using two AA batteries, and versatile mounting options make the VP83F a reliable solution for professional on-camera and standalone audio recording.
