RODE NTG5 - Worth The Investment! (You're Getting More Than Just The Mic for $500)

A kit totally worth investing in! If you're looking into getting yourself a first shotgun mic the NTG5 comes with pretty much all the essentials you need to start recording. Not to mention it sounds great and is super light!

Love this short review! Thanks for reviewing the NTG-5

[MikeG-jsjt]

Excellent mic, audio book narrator approved!

[theanghelous]

The Rode NTG5 has a lot of noise when plugged in Zoom F6 or Zoom F3, and when I say noise I mean RF interferenze. It’s a wellknown issue. You can fix the problem changing the phantom power from 48V to 24V but theb you must level up the gain and in this way the noise floor.

Great Video sir! Did you use the NTG5 mic for this video? Its sounds great and I don't hear any noise in background. Have you tested it in the field? Does it use XLR power?

[Gedagnors]

Thank you for great review!!!
Is it worth buying it in 2022? Or there are some better options already?

[skymakai]

$200 in accessories... makes me wonder what shortcuts may have been taken with the mic. Hmmm..

[quiztasiarocks]

Did you encounter any RF interference with this mic?

[portfoliovancarolaschroder]

Does the Rode NTG5 also fit in the Rode blimp?

[danielgray]

Ignorant question...could I use this mic to record live music recordings? Specifically strings? I can rent it for 20 bucks for the day and wondered if it. would be worth grabbing?

[edmondfromyt]

Nice video, can’t wait to see 1dx mark 3 video

[randomrazr]

is this better then the video mic ntg?

[rokography]

Would you recommend this mic over the Deity S mic 2S? I am looking to record a mic into the Deity HD-TX as a wireless boom option.

[J_bui]

Is there a way to help minimize any reverb and echo if we were recording in an open space like the garage?

[felipemvera]

How does this compare to the video mic ntg? Reduced echo?

[darko]

So ntg5 is 300$ dollar mic in reality.

[AmpAey]

The only reason why I wouldn’t want to buy is your review. I hear too much room from your review, lots of echo.

"you can click in the corner here" but then you are too lazy to actually put the link in the video.

[biomechanism]

still worse then the mke 600 and double the price, lol.
