Its integrated shockmount attaches directly to your camera or tripod and impedes camera handling noise and vibrations transferred through a tripod. To reduce noise from light winds, the VP83 is equipped with a foam windscreen. Attached to the VP83 is a coiled 3.5mm TRS cable, so you'll never be missing the cable you need when hurriedly hooking up the mic to your camera.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eKey Features of the Shure VP83 Lenshopper - Camera Mount Microphone\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMobile Journalist, Vlogger, Run \u0026amp; Gun\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor Cameras and Portable Recorders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e130-Hour Run Time via AA Battery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain and Bass Roll-Off Switches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttached 3.5mm TRS Output Cable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePower Switch with Battery LED\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompact and Lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWindscreen Reduces Wind Noise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrated Shoe\/Tripod Shockmount\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"gText\"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eFocused Pickup Pattern\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe omnidirectional microphones found in most cameras pick up sound from all directions, yielding too much ambience and noise. The VP83 uses a supercardioid\/lobar polar pattern to focus on sound in front of the mic while attenuating portions of side- and rear-entry sound. Its sensitive condenser capsule and low-noise electronics produce more detailed audio and less hiss than traditional microphones built into cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eEasy Camera Connection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA coiled cable is permanently attached to the VP83 to provide efficient hookup to your camera without manual cable management. The cable's 3.5mm TRS plug is wired in dual mono, which delivers the mic signal identically to both input channels on your camera or portable recorder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eLong Battery Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA single AA alkaline battery powers the VP83 for up to 130 hours of operating time. The power\/battery LED will be turn red to warn of low battery levels. Approximately 13 hours of run time remain once the low-battery indicator lights up. To conserve battery life during periods of inactivity, use the power switch to turn off the mic or remove the battery from the battery compartment. NiMH or lithium AA batteries may also be used.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eBass Roll-Off\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eTraffic and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems can create a buildup of low-frequency noise that reduces the intelligibility of your audio. When dealing with such factors, activate the low-cut filter to roll off bass frequencies without compromising the integrity of midrange and high frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e3-Stage Gain Switch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOptimal recording levels are crucial to avoiding distortion and lessening noise. The VP83 features a 3-stage gain switch to accommodate common scenarios. The 0 dB setting is recommended when capturing sounds that are slightly louder than typical speech levels. Use the -10 dB option to prevent distortion from loud sources such as concerts or sporting events. Switch to the +20 dB position for quiet sources or typical speech levels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eIntegrated Shockmount Inhibits Vibrations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe VP83 utilizes an integrated Rycote Lyre shockmount to isolate the mic from vibrations and mechanical\/handling noise.
