The Shure VP82 is a short shotgun condenser for camera and boom work – the affordable route into Shure’s production sound range. The supercardioid/lobar pattern focuses on dialogue and is optimised for distant pickup, the Class A transformerless preamp keeps it clean, and at 76g in aircraft-grade aluminium it won’t fight your boom arm.
