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.

    • Amazing hypercardioid mic in a small package
Model name: VMNTG
I’ve been using Rode products for years and they always produce professional quality audio. This microphone is no different. I like how it isolates my subjects voices even at distance for interviews and still leaves just enough background sound to make it feel natural. The detail is noticeable and ads a layer of texture that makes my work feel just right. I’d compare this Mic to much higher priced shotguns in its class making it not only a professional setup but a good value for anyone that wants isolated hypercardioid Sound pickup patters in a small and valuable price point. Check this thing out you won’t lose out. ... show more

    • Video or Podcasting - This is the One Mic To Rule Them All! (+ how to connect via XLR)
Model name: VMNTG
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

    • Fantastic Mic! When it works. UPDATE for Powerscribe users.
Model name: VMNTG
Excellent microphone for my needs. But just as others have complained it just stops working. I did the firmware update and it still dies, just not as often. I have to unplug and plug it to get it working again,. Ended up getting a USB hub where I can turn it on and off without having to plug and unplug it. So until there is a fix, or you are lucky and it works all the time for you, I would not recommend it. I held on to it for too long past the return window. UPDATE: I was using this mic for dictation with Powerscribe. The mic would die intermittently. I have since gone into the settings. Tools-preferences-dictation and disabled microphone off idle time. It seems to have worked for me. ... show more

    • This is super-versatile and has worked great with everything
Model name: VMNTG
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

    • Totally unreliable. Didn't think it was possible to hate a mic.
Model name: VMNTG
Totally unreliable. I just came home from a shoot and found several (8 out of 53) recordings without sound - yet there were recordings in "scenes" before and after. It seems that there is a LAG in its ability to reset fast enough if you record one after the other. I don't know how much lag it needs to reset but the fact is that it couldn't keep up with the camera itself (a Canon R6) Also, worst documentation ever. There are NO instructions for WHERE files are recorded to and how to retrieve after recording. Site was down for half a day so couldn't download RODE CENTRAL, no one answered published customer support phone. And 2nd time recording and there are NO RECORDINGS TO BE FOUND despite all systems go. Feel that their HOW TO is sorely lacking. Bizarre. Update: Just did ANOTHER SHOOT. And despite testing night before and day of shoot, the next 6 takes done in the first hour of the shoot either recorded NOTHING or just some hint of volume with hiss. I have no understanding as to why because I investigated but changed NOTHING, just did tests and THOSE worked. I just am out of theories as to what the problem is. Update: Rode replaced with a new one. I've lost audio ONCE with it and the audio quality is SUBPAR. I just don't understand what I could be doing wrong to get such an inferior outcome compared to the rest of the reviewers. I've used it more now on my R5C and bringing the video into Premiere - it is too loud and too much static. I've played with starting volumes 6 and 10 because when I did 0/1/2 on the first RODE I had, I couldn't hear the audio. This shouldn't require me to do testing for the best setting - any setting should yield something better than what I'm getting. But testing I will do! Update with replacement: I just did the first true test for a poolside shoot but ON CAMERA (no budget for sound op and couldn't swing another setup). I did several tests before shooting - and all gave me ZERO peace of mind. I told the actors to speak louder and went for it because I couldn't waste any more time testing and googling tips/advice in real time despite ALREADY having done this ahead of time.) I just don't how it can be so bad - it's worse than my in-camera sound. And even on RODE site, there is NOTHING, no tips, no information that tells you what anything DOES beyond what it IS HATE IT. ... show more
