Your Camera Is Incomplete Without This Mic!

Shure's VP83F LensHopper camera-mount condenser microphone shoe-mounts to your DSLR or HD camcorder, captures great-sounding audio, and records it at 24-bit/48kHz to a MicroSD card.

Smart features like a dedicated headphone output, an easy-to-read, back-lit LCD screen, and integrated Rycote shock mounting make Shure's VP83F LensHopper a snap to use.
