Typically shotgun microphones are just that: no, not shotguns. Usually they’re just microphones. The VP83F adds another level of functionality by offering recording functionality thanks to its own integrated 32GB flash storage for recording WAV files at 24-bit / 48 kHz sampling rate, but you can also add your own micro SD. It also has its own dedicated headphone jack for monitoring audio from the mic itself. With its own LCD display and joystick you’re able to quickly navigate through any menu and choose the numerous settings available quickly and efficiently.
