Will the Shure vp 83 work with a LUMIX g9? I see the mike comes with a TRS cable to input to the camera and the G9 has a TRRS audio input.
You will need a TRS to TRRS adapter to make it work. We have no issues recording into TRRS on my laptop or iPhone using a small adapter.

question
Is there anyway it will hear the autofocus in my dslr?
I have been using this for quite a while and I do not notice any camera noise. I do shoot in both sporting events with high noise levels and also in events with normal levels. I am very pleased with the mic.Pat

Could I use this as a boom mic interview style (placed above the talent) with an extension cable?
Yes, you can use the VP83 with an extension cable and mount the mic on a boompole or stand. The bottom of the camera shoe mount attached to the shock mount has a 1/4"-20 female thread which you can use to attach the mic to a boompole or stand. You may need to use a thread adapter. Tripods typically have a 1/4"-20 thread, but most boompoles have a 3/8" thread and most microphone stands have a 5/8" thread. For a boompole or stand with a 3/8" male post, you can use the Impact Small 3/8"-16 Female Threaded Adapter to 1/4"-20 Male Threaded Post (B&H # IMCA103) . For a microphone stand with a 5/8" male thread, you can use the CAMVATE 5/8" Female to 1/4"-20 Male Mic Stand Adapter (B&H # CAC0988). For an extension cable, you can use the Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Male to Stereo Mini Female Cable - 25' (B&H # HOSMMSMF25) or any similar aux cable in the length you prefer.

question
I shoot live rock and blues in a small club. What I'm looking for is a mic that will produce accurate sound without a lot of audience noise. I have a Canon D5 M2. Is this for me? or should I look at others?
The microphone is directional and the windscreen does cut down on the noise but does not eliminate it all. On the clips that I have used it the side noise is not distracting but is still there.

question
Will this mic block the EVF on an Eos M50?
Hi Job,The VP83 will not block the electric view finder. This shotgun microphone is elevated enough to where it'll keep your line of sight clear. I hope this helps!Thank you,

question
I have a Canon D5 M2. I shoot a lot of loud live rock and blues in a small club. I need a mic that will give me accurate sound. Is this the one I'm looking for?
Yes, it is. Just manually set your camera's audio to a low setting, and set the mic to a -10 db, and sound check accordingly. The mic records nice, crisp, clean sound, great mic for the price.
