Excellent video... when you compare Rode VideoMic NTG with Rode VideoMic Pro plus, which one is the best for making ASMR video? Could you please advice? Thank you
This is excellent, I've been looking at buying a USB mic and now you have just made the decision super easy. A voice-over mic and shot-gun mic that's work well in both scenarios, gamechanger! Thanks!! 👍👍
I bought one of these but I've found that using it outside as much wind noise comes through the USB port as comes through the bare mic so using it outside is not an option. I am sending it back to RODE today as I suspect this might be a fault because there is no way I could use it like you on that skate rink, if it's in a blimp maybe but not with a wind shield.
Hi! So, I’m a complete sound-rookie and was hoping you could help me understand the real differences between XLR and 3.5mm microphones. From what I’ve been able to learn, the basic differences are: 1. XLR cables are balanced and a safer way to do long connections without having interferences; and 2. XLR mics need phantom power to work. But other than that, do XLR microphones output better sound quality compared to a good 3.5mm microphone? If the only real advance of XLR only comes with their cables… Wouldn't it be better to use a 3.5mm microphone (which tends to be more versatile, like the Rode Video NTG) and use and 3.5mm-to-XLR converter when you need to do a long connection to continue using the more trusted XLR cables?
Do you have any videos or tutorials on how you made that intro? I have the Sony A7 III but only have the kite lens. How do you have that beautiful bokeh effect?
Do you think that the Movo windshield is better than the WS-11 especially made for the NTG by Rode? Also, when you use it as a Boom mic do you use the XLRV+ adapter?
I don't know as I've never tested the WS-11 but I can't imagine it being better tbh. Nope, I just keep it simple and plug in directly into the camera via an extension cable. As you can now let the mic do the majority of the work there's almost no need for an external recorder and the quality is way good enough for us.
Thanks..this is exactly what I was looking for! Nope..didn't even notice you shot this in 720p...But I did notice that saying you meant to say is; "....Hit the nail on the head". And not, ".....hit the hammer on the nail" (8:01). 😅😅 All good! Thank you again! 👍👍👍
Great video Damien. I’ve been thinking about upgrading my mic for the 1dx iii to this one. I have the rode ntg 3 for my c200 and rode videomic pro+ already but the small extras in this mic like the gain knob instead of just +20 dB / 0 dB setting and also the usb mic feature make it interesting. Thanks for sharing! Also, nice work with the graphics/animations!
haha, I think we just became youtube buddies! Love it! And yes, it's definitely another step towards closing the gap between a C200 and a DSLR... And thanks, I'm trying to step up my game ;)
Nice microphone! I have the Saramonic UWmic9 and Movo VRX10! I do have a question to you: I saw you with a wireless headphone ( don't know which one) and I wonder if it works fine if you use wireless microphones like the Rode GO or Sarmonic UWmic9? It would be great if it works because then I can use it also when I make videos with my Gimbal(Ronin-S). I am also a Canon user buy the way! greetings from Holland!
Hey Mike, not 100% sure if I understand the question. I use my wireless Bose Headphones to monitor audio on set but I use it with a wire because you can't connect it do your camera (at least not that I'm aware of :D) But wireless mics on the EOS R work great. We have the Wireless GO and they're great!
My Panasonic gh5 automatically turns on the power to this mic but I am having trouble getting it to pick up sound once it is on. I have to manually turn it off and on. I’ve reached out to rode support. Looks like I will send it into them so they can check it out. Other then that, it’s a great microphone!
Salut! Nice video, thank you! On a slightly different topic: I'm learning wildlife photography, looking for a mic to capture nature sounds, especially birds, I'm using a Canon 80D with a Tamron 150-600mm G2. Birds are usually 5 to 20 metres away, would this Rode Videomic NTG be good / directional enough to do the job? In advance, thank you very much for your time. Best regards, FTF

Damien! Thanks for the video. Quick question. I bought the Videomic NTG and I use it through my Canon 90D. I’ve been pulling my camera gain all the way down as low as it will go (1 notch up from 0) and then adjusting my NTG from there so as to get good levels on my subject without peaking. Usually ends up being about 11db (ish) on the mic itself and then about 3 ft from my subject. My issue is sometimes I get a sort of distortion/rattling sound when they get loud. I've prepared for their volume with my levels ahead of time and I’m not peaking at all levels wise but there is still a distortion when they get loud that I can't explain. Here's an example: th-cam.com/video/_-xdbLXV8dc/w-d-xo.html Please let me know what I should do?
Hey? Which extension cable should I use for my ntg to mount on my boom pole for my canon 90D? I got the rode VC1 10 inch cable but it keeps cutting out and I hear static. Which extension cable should I buy or what can I use to extend the cable?
Hey man please tell me, did you have any problem with this mic and the eos r? I mean i use the same combo and my eos r sometimes just don’t detect the rode videomic ntg and sometimes just works correctly. I don’t know if my mic is broken or is something comun.
Thanks for the great review! Quick question. What would you envisage the Pros and Cons to be when using the VideoMic NTG as a proper Boom mic, being moved around by a boom operator on a boom pole etc., specifically having it connected in the way that Rode describes in this video: th-cam.com/video/pkUjnPmmOYs/w-d-xo.html, using the Rode Wireless Go. Obviously not appropriate for a Hollywood feature film! I'm thinking when recording audio for a company promo, documentary interviews, etc.
I know you have an accent but Did you say “one penis length?” Lmao depends on the penis lol seriously tho, Found you when I was looking at reviews for the bmpcc 6k and I’ve been digging every video I have seen. I wanna be like you when I grow up 😉
Do you have any videos or tutorials on how you made that intro? I have the Sony A7 III but only have the kite lens. How do you have that beautiful bokeh effect?
Accidentally set my camera to 720p for the b-roll but decided to just use it instead of re shooting. Anyone noticed? :D
Monkeypixels - no, I didn't notice... but watching on a small tablet screen.
Didn't notice on my phone. Great review too
This man tells is he's well endowed, by showing us the distance to his mic. I subbed for that alone.
Lol at the distance to the mic 😂😂
He said what I think he said right?
I have been using this microphone for about a month now to record my marketing tutorials. Love it!
With your experience with this Mic, are you able to go to gain 15 on the ntg without any problem?
Thanks for the lower cost Windshield suggestion!
I've seen a few reviews of this mic. Yours is the best and most entertaining - those laughing girls were a treat.

Hi! So, I’m a complete sound-rookie and was hoping you could help me understand the real differences between XLR and 3.5mm microphones. From what I’ve been able to learn, the basic differences are: 1. XLR cables are balanced and a safer way to do long connections without having interferences; and 2. XLR mics need phantom power to work. But other than that, do XLR microphones output better sound quality compared to a good 3.5mm microphone? If the only real advance of XLR only comes with their cables… Wouldn't it be better to use a 3.5mm microphone (which tends to be more versatile, like the Rode Video NTG) and use and 3.5mm-to-XLR converter when you need to do a long connection to continue using the more trusted XLR cables?

cheaper than either deity mics AND a safety record mode? I know MY next shotgun mic purchase!
I really feel like this one has no competition right now!
To add to 3:09, it works out of the box in Windows too.
