Camera-mount shotgun condenser microphone with rugged build, true-to-life audio quality, and intuitive design, that 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 and 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. The microphone features a dedicated headphone audio output for real-time headphone monitoring and easily accessible MicroSD card slot that allows quick “pop-out” card access. Its highly directional supercardioid/lobar polar pattern rejects unwanted off-axis audio while clearly capturing the intended sound source. Superior RF immunity avoids unwanted audio artefacts from cellular and RF devices. The microphone further features an easy-to-read, back-lit LCD screen that displays audio and battery metering, track information, headphone volume, mic gain, low-cut filter, and remaining recording time; five-position joystick that provides advanced user controls for headphone monitoring, low-cut filter and mic gain adjustments, track management, and playback support; and one-touch record button that facilitates fast audio capture and allows for pausing and stopping. Integrated Rycote Lyre shock mounting system provides robust isolation from vibration and mechanical noise (exclusively developed with Rycote for the VP83F). The microphone comes supplied with two AA alkaline batteries for 10 hours of battery life in Record mode, detachable 3.5 mm gold-plated audio connector output cable, standard size shoe mount with a 6.3mm threaded base for on-camera use or easy mounting on a stand, and a foam windscreen (Windjammer available separately). Frequency response: 50 Hz-20 kHz.
