A great and simple mic
Shure VP83 LensHopper Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone
Reviewed by Jeremy on B&H Photo Video
I have used this mic before as well as a few other types of shotgun mics for dslr's. This is comparable in quality of sound and construction to the Rode VideoMic Pro. Both are great mics and will make a huge difference in your audio capture. This one is slightly less expensive!
Nice little mic

This microphone is well built and the brand is known by everybody who works with audio gear. You can think that is small but the sound is just as good as bigger Rode's. The metal construction assures a better mic life than others made of plastic.
Decent shotgun mic

Just used this for an engagement shot on my secondary DSLR. For one of the two clients the sound was good. Not so much for the second who was a foot or so further away done as a second shot. In studio use and sound has been very good, but not as good as using a lav mic on the client.
Great quality on my GH3

Awesome product and easy to use. I think that there is a MASSIVE difference between stock audio and this device. I should have upgraded to the model with the storage capacity internal. I could have used that in many different ways... Overall excellent product, it mounts nicely and the cord stays tucked away well.Big fan
Excellent product

Will be used with the Nikon D800, I'm just starting with video, I'm mainly a still photographer. When set at the proper gain I can eliminate background, hissing noise. I also use it off the camera near the subjet to help eliminate camera noise. I purchased the Shure mic, because the company has been around a long time. Thanks B&H for fast shipping.

I just recently go this mic and started doing light testing for it...so far it pick up sound wonderfully, from all around so it'll be great for ambient sounds. It seemingly will also do well in a controlled sound environment as well.
Luv IT!

I love this mic. It's lightweight, compact, and durable. Easy to use and the audio quality is amazing. The only issue I had was unloosing the shotgun mount screw. It took some effort to get it loose, but once it loosen up, it was a breeze. Love it and would recommend it
Great mic

I use this on my Panasonic GH-3. It produces excellent audio--it's in the same league as my Audio Technica shotgun I have for my Panasonic X1500. With the Shure dead cat it performs well in breezy conditions. Battery life is also great.

This microphone is unbelievable. It's very light weight but not cheap. It's very durable. I'm currently traveling around the United States with the boys of summer tour capturing moments using this microphone. I extremely recommend this microphone from simple vlogs to commercial use.
Great buy

I picked this mic for $* after a $* rebate at B&H.It works great with my Canon 5d mark III and with my vixia hf G30. It is well built, uses one double A battery, the vibration mount is well designed and the +20db allows me to record clear sound directly in to the camera.
Surprised
