Shure A83 Fur Windjammer For VP83 & VP83F Lenshopper Microphones

Superior Wind Noise Protection for Outdoor Recording

The Shure A83-FUR Windjammer is a high-quality synthetic fur cover designed specifically for the Shure VP83 and VP83F LensHopper camera-mounted shotgun microphones, ideal for videographers, vloggers, and mobile journalists across Australia. Developed in collaboration with Rycote, this windjammer fits snugly over the microphone’s foam windscreen, providing up to 25 dB of additional wind noise reduction to ensure clear, professional audio in challenging outdoor conditions.

Effective Wind Noise Reduction

The A83-FUR Windjammer enhances the VP83 and VP83F’s built-in foam windscreen by significantly reducing wind noise from breezes, gusts, and environmental elements like rain, making it essential for outdoor shoots in windy conditions. Users report it effectively eliminates wind noise at speeds up to 65–75 mph at certain angles and across all angles at 0–35 mph, delivering crisp audio for applications like beach recordings or run-and-gun videography. The synthetic fur construction minimizes high-frequency muffling, though some users note a slight 20 dB loss in audio, which is acceptable for voice-focused recordings. The windjammer’s elastic band ensures a tight, secure fit over the microphone’s foam windscreen, though it can be difficult to put on and remove, leading some users to leave it permanently attached.

Durable and Practical Design

Crafted with high-quality synthetic fur, the A83-FUR is designed to fit precisely over the VP83 and VP83F’s foam windscreen, maintaining the microphone’s compact profile while offering robust protection. The durable material withstands rigorous outdoor use, though some users report minor shedding and recommend using a lint roller to manage residual fur on the microphone. The windjammer’s sleek appearance complements the professional aesthetic of the LensHopper microphones, and its tight fit ensures it stays in place during active filming. Users appreciate its performance in harsh conditions, such as windy coastal environments, but note that it may not match the voice clarity of lavalier or boom mic setups for critical audio applications.
