I own the Shure VP83 which is a killer shotgun mic. The standard foam windscreen does a pretty good job but to completely resist most wind noise a 'dead cat' is needed. This one, made specifically for the VP83, looks and fit great! Glad I bought it!

This Deadcat works well. And the price isn't too high either, which is nice. And it is good they make a specific one to fit the Shure VP83(F). But, it sure is difficult to get it over the foam wind-screen. It is just too tight and the foam is so grippy. The fur sheds just a little bit. It's not as bad as you might think from reading other reviews on the web.

Dead Cat Makes Mic Come ALIVE!

Take your audio recording to the next level with the A83-FUR Fur Windjammer, specifically designed for Shure VP83 and VP83F LensHopper Microphones. This high-quality windjammer, crafted from premium synthetic fur, is engineered to fit securely over the foam windscreen of your VP83 or VP83F LensHopper shotgun microphones.
The A83-FUR Fur Windjammer is not just about aesthetics; it's about performance. It offers up to 25dB of additional wind noise reduction, ensuring that your recordings remain clear and crisp even in challenging outdoor conditions. This windjammer is the result of a collaboration between Shure and Rycote, two industry leaders in audio equipment, guaranteeing a product that meets the highest standards of quality and functionality.
Despite its snug fit, users should note that it may require a bit of effort to install over the foam windscreen due to its tight fit and the grippy nature of the foam. However, this ensures a secure fit that won't easily dislodge during use.
While the fur may shed slightly, this is a common characteristic of synthetic fur products and does not impact the windjammer's performance or durability. The A83-FUR Fur Windjammer for Shure VP83 and VP83F LensHopper Microphones is an essential accessory for any professional or amateur audio enthusiast looking to improve their recording quality in windy conditions.
