Pros and cons

According to our camera microphone expert

  • The versatile gain control ensures the microphone signal is amplified.
  • The two-stage high pas filter reduces disturbing sounds.
  • The connection cable of the camera is too short to use the microphone in combination with a boompole.

Description

The RODE Videomic NTG is a versatile shotgun microphone for your SLR camera, camcorder, or smartphone. Thanks to the acoustic design, you can make smooth and clear recordings. Simply adjust the output, mic level, and line level with the gain control. This amplifies the microphone signal for optimal compatibility. The microphone has a two-step high pass filter that filters out disturbing sounds. In addition, the 3.5mm jack automatically switches between TRS and TRRS, so you won't need an adapter cable. You can easily use the microphone with your computer or smartphone via the USB port. With a charged battery, you can record about 30 hours. You also get a windscreen and shock mount for professional sound quality.

Valuable microphone with wide application possibilities

  • Battery power provides a strong and clean output signal.
  • The output signal is infinitely adjustable in volume and performs particularly well.
  • Little own noise.
  • The price is a bit on the high side, but correspondingly equivalent alternatives.

I had initially bought the small Rode Videomic. This provided a rather weak output signal (normal for micro without battery power). But when used with a still camera, the input volume on the camera had to be quite high, causing disturbing noise, unless you put the microphone very close to the sound source. The NTG does provide a strong output signal with the battery supply. The output volume is infinitely adjustable in strength. This means that the input volume on the camera can be turned down. This results in a clean and noise-free recording sound, which is very pleasant. The NTG is more sensitive to ambient noise than the small Rode Videomic. That does not have to be a negative, but it is good to know if you opt for a shotgun microphone. Due to its capabilities, the NTG can be perfectly used for purposes other than video. Instrumental recording on PC for example. The jack output on the NTG serves as a headphone connection. Very handy. Satisfied with the qualities. You will of course pay extra for it.

1 microphone for all your purposes.

  • All cables included
  • Including Plop cap
  • Easy in use

Unpack, plug in and record, it's that simple. The Rode Videomic NTG fully meets my expectations, gives a nice clear sound and can be connected directly to the PC via USB or to a phone or camera with the supplied cable. There is a clear instruction that shows by means of pictures how the different functions work.

I haven't been able to discover any downsides to this microphone yet.

Great budget studio/camera microphone.

  • great audio
  • Great value quality
  • Not the quietest microphone

Great audio quality, pure and clear dialogues with little pos editing needed. Smart TRRS cable helps for a smooth experience when connecting to either a phone, camera or a computer with USB-C to USB-A connection.
