Description

The VideoMic NTG is a broadcast-grade, feature-packed shotgun microphone optimised for on-camera use. It features the same revolutionary acoustic design as the NTG5 broadcast shotgun microphone, which delivers unmatched transparency and a natural, uncoloured sound. Add to this an incredibly flat frequency response, highly directional supercardioid polar pattern, and very low self-noise, and what you have is a compact on-camera microphone that contends with the world’s best shotgun mics. As well as sounding outstanding, the VideoMic NTG is extremely flexible, with an array of tools and features to help you take on any recording situation. Digital switching gives you access to a high-pass filter, -20dB pad, high frequency boost, and safety channel, plus there is a unique infinitely variable gain control that allows you to precisely tailor the output as you need. Its auto-sensing 3.5mm output detects what device you are connected to (camera or mobile) and switches to accommodate – no more messing around with adaptor cables! There is also a handy new dB peak warning light, so you can always ensure your audio isn’t clipping. The VideoMic NTG is so much more than just an on-camera mic. As well as pairing perfectly with DSLRs, compact cameras, and smartphones – either on- camera, as a boom mic, or on a pistol grip – it is also a fully-featured USB microphone that can be plugged into a computer, tablet, or smartphone. On top of this, the 3.5mm jack doubles as a headphone output for seamless monitoring of audio while using the USB output. The VideoMic NTG is officially MFI- certified (Made for iPhone, iPad & iPod). To connect your VideoMic NTG to Lightning-equipped iOS devices, you’ll need the SC15 or SC19 cable. Please make sure your VideoMic NTG firmware is up to date to ensure complete compatibility with iOS devices with the SC15 or SC19.

  • The (almost) perfect shotgun mic
Tl;dr: This is Rode masterpiece, a wonder for those who don't want to step yet into XLR shotgun microphones, but yet want to receive an amazing quality device, however, there will be some quirks for specialized use cases, (voiceover, streaming and podcasts) which would've made it the jack of all trades amongst shotgun mics. So here's the thing, this mic is a true workhorse, ready for most scenarios and use cases, from streaming to vlogging, recording interviews up to the point you can bring it into concerts (with some caveats), this mic will just do if you need a mic that does it all, this is it, don't put much thought into it… eeeeexcept, there are some things to consider if you won't have many usecases. What I mean is that if you are not going to do all those things, but just one specific scenario, such as streaming, there are better and cheaper options like ElGato Wave 3 or the ATR 2100x in case you have too much background noise. Why do I recommend those? Simple, for streaming, voiceovers, podcasts or most scenarios where the mic is just a few inches in front of your mouth, you will face the risk of overdriving the mic capsule and sound like if you were clipping, when clearly you are not, not even activating the -20db mode will prevent this and if you are a person who tends to talk loud or scream into the mic, I'm pretty sure you don't want to spook your viewers, not even adding a deadcat and the included foam will prevent this, though I recall, this happens if the mic is less than 15cm from your mouth, so yes a niche use case scenario but to keep in mind since the mic markets its USB C to USB mic capabilities, you won't be able to turn off the live feedback if you plug your headphones into it, so it can be quite distracting. Next to keep in mind is that these 3.5mm TRS/TRRS shotgun microphones from Rode tend to have a bass rich sound, in the case of the NTG, the signal is much cleaner and won't sound as muffled as previous models, however in comparison to Condenser Microphones, it will still be too much bass, with a low mix of mid and high tones, there are Low Cut Filters included, but for best results I recommend to keep the default signal and then do some EQ boosting the treble mostly, this way you can get a trully outstanding sound but it will add some steps and tweaking into post production which you will need to keep in mind The most notable CON is the battery, though I love the function where it automatically turns on and off when you are using it with a camera, you don't have a way to monitor the battery life and is either pure luck or having to charge it more than usual to make sure it will turn on in set. I only set it to 4 stars to make clear the quirks you will have with this microphone and the lack of a function like clipguard on the Wave 3, which would've totally make this the best mic of all times or well, just behind the Sennheiser MKH 416, probably I'm asking too much for $250, but I'm sure someone will do it one day, hopefully its the Rode Videomic NTG mk2 ... show more

  • This is super-versatile and has worked great with everything
I love this mic! Sounds good, low noise, very directional. Ever since getting it I've used it for all my videoconferences. I have it on a mic boom just above my head about 12-18 inches away and it sounds very nice and clean. Allowed me to stop needing to wear headphones during conferences, I could just have the audio coming out of speakers. Aside from this, you can use the mic as a USB device with a PC or you can plug in an analog TRS or TRRS cable, it will automatically detect the configuration of the jack so you can use it with almost any device. I use it as a USB mic with my PC, in analog mode with a Sony A7R4 and have also used it as a USB-C mic with an iPad Pro and with an iIphone through Apples analog adapter. All worked and had great sound. The directionality of the mic will let you put it just below or just above you out-of-shot and still get good sound. It's not magic though, for best quality the rule with mics is "closer is better" You will probably get best results 1-2 feet away. Try to get closer if the person is a quiet talker. There are a few minor flaws with the USB mode. One is that the gain control knob has no effect in USB mode, you have to adjust volume levels with PC software which is not as convenient. Also the "safety channel" feature doesn't work in USB mode (this is where it records normal audio on one channel and the other channel 20db quieter, so you can recover audio in post production if it suddenly gets too loud and clips). Not sure why these don't work but it would be great if Rode could do a firmware update to fix it. Also the mic is supposed to work with an iPhone through a USB-C to lightning cable. I tried this with a high quality cable I have and it didn't work. Rode support says you have to use their UCB-C to lightning cable. Not sure why this is, maybe they have some active electronics in their cable. I just know I tried several good quality USB-C->lightning cables I had and they did not work. ... show more

  • Great value and quality
I love this microphone. Works great with my Nikon Z5 and it does exactly what I need it to do. I love the ability to record two channels (one at a lower dB). I also really like that it turns on/off automatically. I have not had an issue with this. Great for my needs which is shooting family videos.

  • Video or Podcasting - This is the One Mic To Rule Them All! (+ how to connect via XLR)
I debated over this mic for quite a while. I liked the idea of being able to use it analog, connected directly to my field recorder, camera or phone - plus the ability to connect it directly to my computer digitally via USB. However, my primary use is connected to my field recorder, and I would have much preferred an XLR connector vs the 3.5 mm trs/trrs jack. I just so happened to own a Rode VXLR+, which adapts XLR to 3.5mm, and converts phantom power to 'plug-in power', so I figured I would give the mic a try. At first it did not work, and I almost returned the mic. The mic is intelligent and can switch between trs (camera) and trrs (phone - combo headphone/microphone jack) connectivity, using the provided trrs/trrs cable. The VXLR+ on the other hand... not so intelligent. It is designed for trs connectivity, not trrs. Connecting it via trrs did not work. But, before I boxed the mic up and sent it back, I figured I would try a trs/trs cable... and Voila! The mic sounds incredible! Really good gain, really low noise. While it definitely has a proximity effect, it maintains warmth/depth when booming at around 18". I made some quick test recordings this way, then A/B tested the unprocessed audio against some of the more professional sounding YouTube channels out there. I honestly think mine sounded better! ;) Using it in a podcast/voice-over fashion, 3"-6" away, plugged directly in to my computer, sounded equally amazing. My phone even recognizes the mic via USB! As an "on-camera" mic... meh. But the traditional NTG mics, or even the almighty MKH-416 would sound "meh" used as an on camera mic. It is just not what you do, if you want good quality audio! IMHO. Buy it! ... show more
