NAB 2013: New Shotgun Mics from SHURE

Shure audio is bringing some competition to the short shotgun microphone category with two new offerings for DSLR & camcorder users. The LensHopper VP83 is a new microphone from Shure with a switch for three settings of gain and a low-pass filter. The VP83 runs on a single AA battery.

The VP83F is the same microphone technology but includes a built-in flash recorder, for recording audio directly to MicroSDHC cards (up to 32 GB). The VP83F runs on two AA batteries for up to 10 hours of recording time. It's built-in LCD display shows microphone meters, as well as the amount of battery power left. A handy jog stick on the back–and one touch record button–makes setting up and recording audio a piece of cake.

Both mics feature a Rycote shock mount and a Rycote windjammer can be purchased separately.

Shure mics will ship July 15 2013: Shure VP83 - $229: http://bhpho.to/14hOgcr Shure VP83F with built in recorder - $349: http://bhpho.to/10dv9kH
