My FAVORITE Shotgun Mic! || Rode VideoMic NTG Review

Показать описание
When I went looking for a shotgun microphone for my camera, I knew I wanted a mic that would not just do the job in capturing ambient audio, but also serve as a comprehensive audio solution for interviews, talking heads, etc.  Packed with a number features in a body and design that in many ways bears similarity to the Rode NTG 5 microphone, the VideoMic NTG is a versatile mic that has become one of my most-used pieces of audio gear, particularly as someone that does a lot of second shooting and run-and-gun type filmmaking.

In this review, I'll discuss five of my top reasons to consider the VideoMic NTG, including a selection of its many features, some of the different potential uses you can use the mic for, and provide my overall take on the microphone in general.  If you're looking for a shotgun microphone that can do it all, so-to-speak, the Rode VideoMic NTG is a model I'd certainly place towards the top of the list of items to consider.

Nice work, thanks! If you’d pick up another one I would actually wait until Røde releases an updated version that’s compatible with their free Røde Connect app, which would boost its value proportion even more. Since it is already a USB-mic (as you have rightfully pointed out) it only makes sense for me that they update it for Røde Connect. That would be amazing. Currently it only works with the NT-USB Mini and surely they will make more mics comptible with it down the road. I for one am actually holding back all my mic purchase decisions until they do…

Can you talk about how to prevent the clipping issue?

Great Video- question If I may- I am putting together a iPhone 12 Rig was looking at the Rodes VideoMicro but listening to YouTube reviews I think the NTG warrants the expense, 25% of the purpose would be to capture my Singer-Songwriter side (Vox-acoustic guitar) you suggested its a Sans Vox application. Any other suggestion that way with iPhone 12? Cheers
