Shure VP83F
Camera-Mount Mic/Recorder

With its rugged build, true-to-life audio quality, and intuitive design, the Shure VP83F LensHopper™ delivers the perfect blend of form and function. For use with DSLR cameras and HD camcorders, it offers digital flash recording / playback (MicroSDHC) capabilities that enable WAV file capture at 24-bit / 48 kHz sampling rate.

This compact shotgun microphone features detailed, high-definition audio with full low-end response for professional results every time. The intuitive menu and one-button recording function make it fast and easy to use in almost any environment.

As well as integrated flash recording, the VP83F offers the following additional features compared to the VP83:

• A dedicated 3.5 mm headphone output lets you monitor your audio in real time
• An easy to read, backlit LCD display shows audio level, battery life, track information, headphone volume, gain, low cut filter and remaining recording time
• A five position joystick provides advanced user controls for headphone monitoring, low cut filter and gain adjustments, track management and playback control
• Audio gain can be adjusted in 1 dB increments, up to 60 dB, so you can very precisely match the recording level to the loudness of your sound source
• Recording can be initiated with a one touch record button

The VP83F includes:

• 2 AA alkaline batteries for 10 hours of battery life in Record mode
• Detachable 3.5 mm gold-plated audio connector output cable
