  • Picks up too much ambient noise even with high-pass filter on
Color: Black Style: NTG1 Configuration: Microphone
EDIT: October 2022: I am leaving the 3 stars because the ambient noise issue is still there. I was able to get pretty good quality audio using a properly tuned dbx286s and Zoom v3. It still picks up background noise too much as well as echo in the room even at lower talking levels. I use it now as my daily driver; at some point I want to try the NTG-3 and see if the ambient noise issue is resolved there. In terms of CLARITY of voice, the NTG-1 is good. The only complaint is really the background noise pickup. -----ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW----- I have a personal pet peeve, which is seeing a microphone in view whenever on video. I use a Shure SM7B which works decently well in "scoop" (mounted in front and angled toward) position. But it doesn't have the clarity I wanted. Heard that shotgun mics are the key. The problem is budget. There's simply no way I can justify $1k for something that gets occasional, indoor-only use. My place has an air purifier, a humidifier, and sometimes an air conditioner running. The A/C isn't really an issue, but the air purifier for whatever reason is picked up way too strongly by this mic. The Shure completely ignores 99% of the background noise. It's unfortunate, because the general clarity is superior to the Shure in this regard, but the amount of background noise it picks up even when off axis is shocking. I tried two different boom positions, and neither were acceptable. The only acceptable mount is about 1ft away from my mouth and directly aimed, which then for bizarre reasons sounds quite clear and amazing (aka it doesn't pick up hardly any background noise all of a sudden). Now I have to decide whether to return it, because the Shure was able to perform in this same position, and it's not where I wanted to have the mic at all. ... show more

  • Top tier vocals
Color: Black Style: NTG1 Configuration: Microphone
I use these for recording podcasts. I know most people go for a dynamic mic for these situations, but I like shotgun mics much more. These pick up all the qualities of our voices perfectly. They're extremely directional, and background noise isn't much of a concern (I should point out that I use these in an acoustically treated room, so there are no echoes bouncing off the walls). When I compare my audio to professional level podcasts while wearing studio monitoring headphones, there is no discernible difference. I've even let a couple friends that do mixing/mastering for a living, and they don't notice any difference as well. I'm sure if any self-proclaimed "audiophiles" read this, they'll heavily disagree. Their anxiety levels will rise, and they'll feel the desire to comment on this to tell me I'm wrong and that this is just an "average mic you noob". Don't listen to these people. This is a good mic, and with the right settings, recording environment, and compression, your audio will sound superb. As a reminder, I use these for podcasts. I cannot vouch for how they perform with recording musical instruments, except for a jaw harp, which it records beautifully. ... show more

  • Sound is good but dead cat length problems
Color: Black Style: NTG1 Configuration: Microphone
Sound quality is excellent. I put this mike on my back-up Canon X40. The mike is actually too long for this camera if you use it outdoors with s dead cat cover. When not zoomed, hairs from the dead cat are constantly getting into the frame. But for a larger camera body, this mike should work fine.

  • BEWARE, EXRESS MEDIA IS NOT AUTHOZIED TO SELL RODE!!!!!!
Color: Black Style: NTG1 Configuration: Microphone
Here I was buying a mic that has an industry best 10 year warranty, it is priced right and has been well reviewed all over the world only to find out that the person(EXPRESS MEDIA) selling misrepresented themselves(EXPRESS MEDIA) on Amazon. When I tried to register the mic on Rode's website I was told EXPRESS MEDIA WAS NOT authorized to sell Rode and the mic wouldn't be covered under the 10 year warranty. Well, that sealed the deal for me, I don't support grey market goods(FROM EXPRESS MEDIA), goods being sold by gypsy's(EXPRESS MEDIA) who aren't authorized to sell by the manufacture. I have seen issues among my colleagues before and I wasn't about to risk it here. I realize it isn't a lot of money but in this economy, working hard every day and saving money to get by, I am NOT getting stuck if I have issues in the future. I like to be secure and know I am covered, there is value in buying from genuine authorized resellers! Stay away from anyone like this(EXPRESS MEDIA), trust me you don't want to get burned(FROM BUYING FROM EXPRESS MEDIA) ... show more

  • I think I got a bad one. READ BEFORE YOU BUY
Color: Black Style: NTG1 Configuration: Microphone
*** Original Review *** Using it with a Zoom H4N. The sound is good, but I hear a little more noise from this mic than the built-in mic on the H4N. I don't think the noise is interference, though. I think this mic is more sensitive and picks up everything. I've played around with the record level, but still trying to find the best signal to noise ratio. So far the noise that I get is easily removed in post with software and doesn't seem to affect any of the sound I want to keep. *** UPDATED REVIEW *** I originally gave this mic 4 stars before I started getting frustrated with how it picked up everything and didn't act at all like a directional mic. I don't know if it was defective or if it wasn't an authentic Rode product. I'd like to give it no stars, but I don't think that would be fair if the item I received wasn't the real deal. See Rode's site for more information on their findings buying from here vs an authorized dealer. I don't have another NTG1 to compare it to, but I've since purchased a different mic by a different manufacturer and there are no issues whatsoever. It's night and day. So it definitely wasn't any of the gear I was using. Thankfully Amazon is awesome with hassle free returns and I was still within the return period. ... show more

  • Excellent Dynamic Range
Color: Black Style: NTG1 Configuration: Microphone
Have been very impressed with the audio quality even compared to the Rodelink Filmmakers Kit wireless Lavaliere. The shotgun mic had an impressive audio range for the price point and sounds great for event videography and basic corporate work. I would highly recommend the microphone. I really like that it works on phantom power, I never have to fuss with looking for batteries for one more of my video gear devices. ... show more
