Selected User Reviews For Rode VideoMic NTG On-Camera Shotgun Microphone
This is an excellent microphone! I just wanted to bring one thing to everyone's attention who is shopping on Amazon. br>br>On Rode's website, they state unequivocally that anything sold on Amazon is not an authorized seller, and that you will not be able to register for the extended 10-year warranty. The mics come with a year's warranty. However, Kellards is an authorized seller in their own right, so even if you buy from Amazon, as long as it's through Kellards, you'll get the 10-day trial period. The manufacturer's warranty will be honored for one year. At least, that's how it went in my case. I just wanted to share this information with others because I didn't notice this warning until after I purchased the mic from Rode's website. I'm sure other Amazon sellers will work as well, but I can only speak for Kellards specifically. I hope this information is useful.
additionally, the ability to digitally connect it to my computer via USB. However, my primary application is with my field recorder, and I would much rather have an XLR connector than a 3. trs/trrs jack of 5 mm I had a Rode VXLR on hand, which converts XLR to 3. 5mm in diameter, and converts phantom power to 'plug-in' power. I figured I'd give the mic a shot because I was 'in power. ' br>br>At first, it didn't work, and I was about to return the microphone. The microphone is intelligent, switching between trs (camera) and trrs (phone). Use the provided trrs/trrs cable to connect to the combo headphone/microphone jack. In contrast, the VXLR. Not at all clever. It is intended for trs connectivity rather than trrs. It did not work when connected via trrs. But, before I packed the mic and returned it, I thought I'd give a trs/trs cable a shot. and there you have it! The microphone sounds fantastic! br>br> While there is a proximity effect, it still maintains warmth and depth when booming at around 18". This allowed me to make some quick test recordings, which I then compared to some of the more professional-sounding YouTube channels. My version sounded much better, in my opinion. ) If you're going to use it for a podcast or voice-over, 3"- The sound was equally amazing from 6" away, plugged directly into my computer. My phone even recognizes the microphone when I connect it to it via USB! As a "on-the-ground" worker, mic on camera meh. However, the classic NTG mics, or even the all-powerful MKH-MKH-MKH-MKH-MKH-MKH-M When used as an on-camera mic, 416 sounds "meh. " If you want high-quality audio, this isn't the way to go! IMHO. Buy it! br>br>.
Update: I bought a new Rode VideoMic NTG On-Camera Microphone. Through B, camera shotgun mic It's H Photo, not Amazon, that you're looking for. It was not a problem for me. That makes me suspicious, because either Rode has a problem with quality control, or the mic sold on Amazon isn't genuine. br>br>Geartree was the distributor of the microphone with which I had issues. br>br>I recently purchased a brand new Sony a99ii camera. The NTG's cable is a trrs to trrs connection. Only the right channel produces sound when the trrs is connected to the DSLR.
Tl; This is a Rode masterpiece, a wonder for those who don't want to jump into XLR shotgun microphones but still want a high-quality device; however, there are some quirks for specialized use cases (voiceover, streaming, and podcasts) that would've made it the shotgun mic's jack of all trades. br>br>So here's the deal: this mic is a true workhorse, ready for most scenarios and use cases, from streaming to vlogging, recording interviews, and even bringing it into concerts (with some caveats), this mic will just do if you need a mic that does it all. . . eeeecept, there are some things to consider if you won't have many usecases. If you're only going to do one of those things, like streaming, there are better and less expensive options like the ElGato Wave 3 or the ATR 2100x in case you have too much background noise. br>br>Why do I recommend them? Simply put, for streaming, voiceovers, podcasts, and most other situations where the mic is only a few inches in front of your mouth, you run the risk of overdriving the mic capsule and sounding like you're clipping when you're not. Although I recall, this happens if the mic is less than 15cm from your mouth, so yes, a niche use case scenario, keep in mind that 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 headphone into the mic. br>br>The next thing to remember is that these 3. Though Rode's NTG is the same sound as the previous ones, it will still be too sweet due to its volume knob; in other words it will sound too loud compared to Condenser Microphones. A Rode 5mm shotgun microphone sounds much fuller and won't be too muffled br>br>I only gave it four stars to emphasize the quirks you'll encounter with this microphone, as well as the lack of a feature like clipguard on the Wave 3, which would've made it the best mic of all time or, at the very least, second best behind the Sennheiser MKH 416. I'm sure I'm asking too much for $250, but I'm sure someone will do it one day, hopefully the Rode Videomic NTG mk2.
When paired with the Rode Wireless Go system, it's a perfect shotgun mic, a great podcast mic via USB C, and a great boom mic. The sound quality is excellent, and the options are plentiful. The battery lasts long enough that there is no need to be concerned. Mic options are excellent for sound control. This mic is a great value for the money, and everyone should have one. Another underappreciated option is to pair it with the Wireless Go system.
I bought a Tascam to replace my NTG2. My audio setup is a lot lighter now, but it's just as powerful; I'm very impressed! I would strongly suggest it. I'm hoping for a quick release of a windshield for it.
update. br>br>As good as the NTG2 rode!.
