Capture broadcast-quality audio for your DSLR video productions with the Shure LensHopper™ VP83 camera-mount condenser microphone. This professional shotgun microphone connects directly to your camera or portable audio recorder via its integrated coiled 3.5mm cable, making it an essential tool for filmmakers and content creators who demand exceptional audio clarity.
The VP83 features a supercardioid/lobar polar pattern that provides the tightest directional pickup possible, effectively isolating your subject while blocking unwanted background noise. Its wide frequency range, high sensitivity, and low self-noise characteristics ensure natural audio reproduction with full low-end response. The three-position audio gain switch offers -10dB, 0dB, and +20dB settings, allowing you to compensate for varying source levels during recording.
Built for the unpredictable nature of location filming, this microphone includes practical features like a windscreen for outdoor recording, a switchable low-cut filter to reduce handling noise, and Rycote Lyre shock mounting that minimises vibrations and mechanical interference. The VP83 combines professional audio performance with the durability needed for demanding field recording situations.
