while using the USB output. The VideoMic NTG is a

on-camera use. It features the same revolutionary acoustic design

supercardioid polar pattern, and very low self-noise, and what

microphone with headphone output. What's In the Box VideoMic NTG
The VideoMic NTG has a host of useful features for making sure
your audio is clear and distortion-free when recording loud sound
sources, including a high-pass filter to cut rumble, and a safety
channel, which records a second track at -20dB that you can
substitute for your main track in post-production if it distorts.
Additionally, a high-frequency boost setting adds sparkle to your
recordings when using windshields and furries to protect against
wind noise. SM7-R Rycote Mount The VideoMic NTG comes with
high-quality shock mounting able to go on-camera or on a
boompole. The cable management system with snug slots
accommodates all types of cables. And with a sliding rail it the
mic can be positioned away from your face when handheld or
balanced perfectly on a gimbal. Foam Windshield The VideoMic NTG
also comes with a high-density foam windshield and is compatible
with the WS11 furry windshield (sold separately). We recommend
engaging the high frequency boost when using a windshield, which
will enhance detail and clarity in your recordings. And remember,
you can use the high-pass filters in conjunction with the HF
boost! 3.5mm Cable and USB-C Cable An SC10 TRRS patch cable is
included for connecting to cameras, smartphones, and other
recording devices. The output features intelligent circuitry that
automatically detects whether your microphone is plugged into a
TRS input (found on most cameras) or a TRRS input (which most
smartphones and tablets have) and switches to accommodate. No
need for adapters: VideoMic NTG is smartphone, tablet and camera
compatible out of the box.
Review: A Versatile Option - As you may have check beforehand in
Youtube (or probably not), this maybe the only mic you will ever
need. In term of simplicity and versatility, I don't think you
will find anything like it. Yes, Deity may have something quite
similar in construction, perhaps almost on par in term of sound
quality, but no...the RODE Videomic NTG have something thats not
many other mini shotgun mic have...and thats the ability to
connect directly via USB as a desktop microphone. Straight out of
the box! No need to get audio interface, no need to find an XLR
cable, no need to fuss about settings or whatever, just plug it
in and it run just like that. In fact, you can connect this thing
to any kind of devices you have (not your rice cooker or vacuum
cleaner of course). You can connect it directly to your
smartphone, you can connect it directly to your portable
recorder. And the good news is, it still sounds fantastic. You
need a mic with XLR output? I am pretty sure you can connect it
via adapter. There are a lot feature to mention about it but I
think the most important feature is that it will automatically
turned ON and ready for recording when you connect it to a
device/camera. The build is all metal, perhaps aluminum, but it
doesn't make it prone to audio interference, and robust enough to
handle tough job. Came with Rycote shock mount which is looking
nice and perhaps the best shock mount in the market. I think this
is the best sounding and overall versatility Vlog mic, and it
doesn't sound bad at all for interviews, podcast or voice over
work, at a relatively affordable price (I bought mine at a good
bargain of £154). Definitely, highly recommended.
Review: AMAZING mic - Honestly such a fantastic microphone for
multiple use cases. I primarily use it with my Sony A7 for
professional video shoots, but it also works as a brilliant voice
over or streaming microphone. Give the flexibility you have with
this microphone and all of the fantastic features like duel
channel audio (life saver) I’d say it’s worth every penny. The
battery is also very good, and setup only takes a few seconds.
