Shure VP82 — Short Shotgun Microphone for Semi-Professional A/V Applications
VP82 Overview
The Shure VP82 is a short shotgun microphone engineered for camera-mounted A/V media production, delivering a compact and lightweight form factor suited to nearfield sound sources. Its natural off-axis rejection keeps focus on the intended source while minimizing unwanted ambient noise, making it a practical choice for run-and-gun production and field recording workflows. The VP82 ships with a foam windscreen for basic outdoor use and offers compatibility with VP89S premium accessories, extending its versatility for more demanding capture scenarios. It is well suited for videographers, content producers, and semi-professional A/V teams who require reliable directional audio without the bulk of a full-size shotgun.
The VP82’s compact profile integrates cleanly with camera-mounted rigs, keeping the overall footprint minimal while maintaining the directional performance expected from a Shure shotgun design.
