Shure VP64A - Omni-Directional Handheld Dynamic ENG Microphone
The VP64A and VP64AL are high-output omnidirectional handheld dynamic microphones designed for professional audio and video production. They combine exceptional performance and comfortable feel with a handsome on-camera appearance.
The VP64A and VP64AL are identical except for handle length. The 7 7/8" (200 mm) long VP64A is ideal for close-up use and can be used outside as well as indoors. The VP64AL is well-suited to location interviews, sports broadcasting, and other situations where the 9 5/8" (244 mm) length is an advantage.
The omnidirectional pickup pattern provides uniform pickup on or off axis, eliminating the need for critical microphone positioning. The VP64A series also features a tailored frequency response with an upper midrange presence rise that adds crispness and clarity to speech. The cartridge utilizes a neodymium magnet for higher output and increased signal-to-noise ratio.
The cartridge is housed in a rubber isolation mount for ruggedness and to minimize handling noise. It is protected by a water-resistant mesh that enables the microphone to be used during the most challenging weather conditions. For added wind and "pop" protection, use the supplied windscreen.

Comments about Shure VP64A - Omni-Directional Handheld Dynamic ENG Microphone:
I'm an event videographer and I purchased this mic to accompany my sony z1u for on-the-spot interviews. While music/noise is blaring in the background, this little mic will pick up voices for my interviews beautifully. Never have I been so happy with a mic's performance.

It is indeed a very good product, the only negative that I find is that the cable plug fits a little loose. I guess is normal, but it makes me think it will disconect at any time.
