Thanks Bandrew - nice review! The DEITY D3-Pro claims to send a balanced signal when you use the XLR adapter in their location kit. Any idea whether this does the same? Reason I ask is that if you are going to use this on a boom pole, I'm thinking a balanced connection will be pretty important to avoid picking up EMF or RF interference.
Thanks for this - you offer by far the most comprehensive reviews, without the annoying fluff and clickbait. Would love to see a review of the VideoMic Go II!
i always accidentally click on your vids while searching for some review of some gear and i'm always stoked when i realize it's you. thank you for the great reviews
It was already in my shopping cart but I waited to sleep on it and check more reviews... I guess I'll hit proceed to checkout :) (gonna be an upgrade for my rode micro @ 40$ lol )
Been looking into a shotgun mic or a pencil shotgun mic only for VOIP purposes. This seems like a way better route to go then choosing a phantom powered one with a required audio interface? Way cheaper at least and still seems to do the job.
Hi mate, I was planning to get the Rode NT-USB mini for desk recording mainly for vocal and voice over, but then this one came out. Would this one with the featured usb port do the same job?
Great show. Thank you for your review. Is this water resistant.? It would be nice if while in the field, in case it was rainy while sitting on top of a camera. If you mentioned that, I'm sorry I missed it. During the intro when you was holding that sad little tree, dressed the way you were, I thought, oh he reminds me of Charlie Brown with a little bit darker hair.. 😂 Thank you and happy holidays.
What if I leave the Rode NTG permanently connected to my computer via USB? Will that degrade the NTG battery? I assume it will because my computer is on all day when I work and it'll probably trickle charge the NTG battery, just like when you leave a laptop connected to the wall socket. I'm hoping this isn't the case though, hence why I'm asking.
Just curious, what about connect the mic into the pc via the 3.5mm jack? would it give or take any advantages? I can't find anyone trying it online, maybe that's the answer... ahah thanks!
You guys heard of wireless mics? Just kidding. SERIOUS QUESTION: I just bought a cheap lavalier mic and I hate it that I can not connect it freely, without the sound output to be changed to the mic - the computer thinks that this is a headphone with mic... And no USB interface functionality. So, either buy a shotgun mic and connect it to my external usb audio interface or buy this here, which can be used as an USB mic - how cool is that??? BUT, the price is ridiculous... I get it - it is GOLD, state of the art and all those features are a dream! But, I would not buy a condenser mic (USB or normal XLR), cause it picks up too much of the ambient. I would choose to buy a lavalier, so I can use it with the camera as well, record people etc. The shotgun mic seems the PRETTIEST option of all, but in an untreated room, they still pick up unwanted room reverb. Hard decision... Anyone, can help? :))
I use a Rode VideoMic Pro in an untreated room and it's fine. It points towards me from the side with my chair behind it which should help somewhat with echo. Or put it above you and point it down. I run it through a Zoom h4 as an audio interface. This mic would let me skip that step. I also use a lav mic but not having to clip a mic to me is better as I do forget sometimes and may break it. @@SocietateaAscendenta
This mic looks really interesting. Between this, the NTG5, the various Deity mics and the Synco Mic D-2 we really have a wealth of great new shotguns to choose from. Thanks for doing the untreated room test, that's very illuminating.
On MIC Safety track?!?!?!? WTH? My Tascam DR-40 has a safety track feature and that's why I chose it over other options. Safety tracks when shooting event's are a must.
The Safety Track of your tascam will modify the GAIN between the L and R track, but, if your microphone out level is too already too hot for your tascam, you will already be able to exceed your input limit (pre-gain) of your tascam, and even with a gain at 1%, the signal can be limited ... But not if it is the signal from the microphone itself which is reduced before the tascam input ;)
I bought one of these but I am not in love with it. It’s a good mic audio quality wise but I didn’t find it great to use a location shotgun. 2 main issues. Too many buttons and too many things to check every time you set up. I am going to back to a phantom powered shotgun mic, no on off switch, no filter switches, no -20db button, just plug it in and adjust everything from the recorder. 2nd issue is that it clips at what I consider to be really low levels unless -20db is engaged. As on camera DSLR type mic it’s probably pretty good but as a general everyday boom mic, forget it, too much unnecessary complication.
I encountered a surprise when using this microphone as a USB mic into Windows, and this may be true on Macs and in Linux also. There appears to be some gain staging to contend with. I had to turn it down in the Windows Audio Recording Level tab for the mic all the way to 38 to completely avoid overloads on words like "Now" and "Wow" with my voice. (Words that really test your resonance amplification...) At first, I thought I must be overloading the capsule, but that was not the case. Once I had the gain under control in Windows Audio's subsystem, the output was always clean into OBS or Voicemeeter Banana's recorder, etc. So, I think the USB overdrives the input preamps, in Windows at least, and needs to be clamped down.
Hey there podstage, the VideoMic go 2 came out recently, any way you might re visit these shotgun/pencil microphones? I know personally im looking at getting away from the microphone being in my face and ive kind of come to the conclusion that the video mic go 2 by rode is a great option for the price bracket so im guessing there are at least a couple other people out there that are interested if its a good buy or if other mics exist in the price bracket that arent XLR for normy audio in a controlled environment like a home office/streaming setup
Does this mic pick up static interference from nearby wifi routers? I had the Rode VideoMic GO and that was a huge issue. I had to return as I couldn't use it because of that :(
Thanks Bandrew. Nice and thorough. You also confirmed what I felt in my video about the spl being a little low. Even at vlogging distance, it can just get into the clipping region which might well translate to distortion in noisy places if say, loud cars go by. That’s my only real concern with it tbh.
@@thebusinessfirm9862 Hi. There might be a converter plug I think. I’m sure I’ve seen one but not sure where. So basically, a female 3.5mm on the input side so you plug the mic into it and a 3 pin xlr on the other side. You might have to manually switch the mic on.
I love your reviews! these are extremely helpful! i was wondering though - how does this microphone manage the environment noise? how much of the noise is picked at 45, 90 and 135 degrees from 4 feet away? it seems that from close-up some of the noise is attenuated.makes me curious how that works with increasing distance (ie. whether at 4 feet distance there is little difference coming from microphone orientation change)...
When you're a few centimetres away from the mic it sound so good. I'm on Windows, a few centimetres away with - 20db pad on but my audio is in the reds and peaking. Even when whispering same thing happens. Idk what is wrong.
Great video! Thanks for the valuable information! Question for anyone that may be in the know. I recently purchased the Videomic NTG hybrid to use atop my Canon M50 for vlogging and for boom placement for talking head video. The NTG works great atop the camera with the supplied Rode SC10 patch cable. B&H (multiple reps) ensured me the Rode SC1 extension cable would work to connect the NTG to the M50 for boom application (since the NTG can accept both TRS or TRRS cables). The SC1 does not work. Read online that others had a similar experience. However I have not been able to find info on what cable would work to connect the Videomic NTG to the M50 for boom application. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to all!
Hey! Im wondering if its possible to ask you to do a breakdown of all those different spec on the spec aheet and what they actually mean/how they affect the mic. Apologies if youve already done this, thanks!
With every shotgun mic I've purchased so far, there is a hiss that seems to be unavoidable in preventing. Is this RODE better than the RODE VideoMic in that regard? I know people say you can try to remove it in Audacity but I can't get rid of all of it without affecting vocal quality.
At 11:30 you mention my exact use case but don’t mention any alternatives, please tell me a good indoor mic to use exclusively for my studio. It’s mildly treated for sound. The Octava is not available where I live (India)
Great video! Beside using on top of the camera, would this works well using it via USB to make zoom calls, and listen to the participants with a headphones connected into the 3.5mm of the mic? Thanks in advance and sorry for my English i'm still learning Have a Productive and Healthy day!
I get a FANTASTIC sound on my larger podcast mic Rode NT1A BUT I want to move the mic out of sight. I then tried a Rode Lavelier mic and that is a bit drop in quality (especially low frequency) than the NT1A. So I am wondering where this fits in comparison to those? I'll be placing at a distance of around 2-3 foot away in order to miss the camera.
I got videomic ntg 3 days ago. It is giving me way too much background noise (even after updating firmware). i use it plugged on cannon 200d mark 2. Even after standing couple of feet away i get too much background noise should i return it? Or i am missing something.
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. Great vid. 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: ua-cam.com/video/pkUjnPmmOYs/v-deo.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.
After watching your review I bought this mic. I must admit that this mic has increased the sound quality of my video. I did a voice test on my Instagram (IGTV) instagram.com/tv/B9wEGHYFQoG/?igshid=vz3oq81uhsxh
Is there any reason someone couldn't buy a longer 3.5mm cable and just put the microphone on a desk-mount, and therefore get the mic a lot closer to a talking head, and also avoiding needing to run a USB cable to a computer? I'm trying to keep my production process as simple as possible!
does this have ASIO drivers/capability? could i theoretically use this mic to record vocals to a song in a DAW? or would it not be possible because the daw is looking for an XLR connection and not a USB connected mic?
Well, this is the review that everyone was looking for. Literally answered all my questions. Well, actually one left: what happens if you use it to record an instrument? I love the rejection it offers, but sound wise? Never tried a shotgun on an instrument, but it makes sense when you're trying to isolate a few players. You look like you might know a thing or two about instruments.
This video was pretty much perfect. Quick question......where can I find the deadcat for this? I need a link cause I looked all over amazon and ebay and can't quite pinpoint which deadcat is the one for this mic
Anybody know if the ntg is compatible with the eos m50? I'm having trouble noticing any difference in my built in mic and my ntg. Maybe my hearing isn't as good as other ppl?
Re: Pro R Plus comparison - Whilte the NTG is certainly very good, the Pro R Plus was a lot warmer sounding In addition to being pleasing to the ear, that might also indicate more high frequency noise rejection as well.
I don't think I've ever seen a more useful set of bells and whistles. What an amazing design. I really like this mic I wish I needed it.
Thanks Bandrew - nice review! The DEITY D3-Pro claims to send a balanced signal when you use the XLR adapter in their location kit. Any idea whether this does the same? Reason I ask is that if you are going to use this on a boom pole, I'm thinking a balanced connection will be pretty important to avoid picking up EMF or RF interference.
Now I don't feel bad if Bandrew doesn't answer me. I mean he's too big to respond to the great Curtis Judd now! 😂 I kid of course
@@FoodTechLife Still no response.....
Still waiting...
I am told by RODE that the VideoMic NTG and VXLR or VXLR+ do not convert the signal to balanced.
Curtis Judd highly appreciated, Curtis!!
Thanks for this - you offer by far the most comprehensive reviews, without the annoying fluff and clickbait. Would love to see a review of the VideoMic Go II!
Bought this after seeing your review - this is such a versatile mic at an insanely good price.
Are you still liking it? I’m looking at getting one
Yes I use it every day for videoconferencing and gaming.
@@Carl-Camera awesome! Thanks!
Most useful review of everything I have seen so far about this mic. Thanks for your time.

This review really helped me pick a mic. I needed one for Film but also one for Podcasting with-- this seems right up my alley. Thanks!!
I was waiting for your review. Great review by the way. I always love your conclusion. Thank You.
Good review, so it drowns the sounds out from the background. I think it would be good for a vlogging camera.
It was already in my shopping cart but I waited to sleep on it and check more reviews... I guess I'll hit proceed to checkout :)
(gonna be an upgrade for my rode micro @ 40$ lol )
Great review as usual Bandrew. I just got a Stellar X2 after hearing the review at the Booth Junkie channel....waiting to hear your opinion.

Not a fan of Marshall. I sold mine and now own a Mesa and Engl, much preferred over Marshall amps.
Would you recommend this microphone for someone who would use it for music on a DSLR? Currently using rode videomicro. Thanks for the review! 👍
Sooo versatile
Hi Podcastage please what you recoment for talking podcast? This NTG or lower price Rode NT-USB? Thanks for reply.
Thanks. Do I need an audio interface if I am on the road and doing a voice over? Or, can I record it directly to my DAW?
You should try checking out the D3 or D3 Pro from Deity.
Great video, do you know what Long cable I need if I want to use it as a Boom and connect it to my camera? thanks!!
You're the best
It's back in stock at B&H can you do an affiliate link to there?
Any worries about battery life issues if used frenquently as an USB mic?
Thanks for another great video, Bandrew. Question, can this mic. be plugged directly into an Android phone?
It is class compliant so in theory yes. I don’t have an android phone to test it on though so I can’t say for certain.
@@Podcastage send me the mic, I will check the Android compatibility for you.
@@Podcastage Thanks for the reply. Maybe others will know.
If I'm mistaken, anything that plugs into the TRRS jack will work.
Just curious, what about connect the mic into the pc via the 3.5mm jack? would it give or take any advantages? I can't find anyone trying it online, maybe that's the answer... ahah thanks!

You can turn on heating, then you don`t need to use hat ;-)
It is pretty meaningless to compare this mic to any camera’s internal mic.
I got this Mic just because of you ;) Bye bye lav mics 100 feet of cord that is always getting caught in the wheels of my chair :)
The dreaded cable meeting chair wheels. I hate it so much!

It's "The Day of the Triffids: Christmas Invasion" (disguised as Christmas trees). Good review.
Solid review! I didn’t even notice that tree until you pointed out....🤣
really? 😂
I literally just bought an NTG4. I probably should have got this one.. oops!
But then you couldn’t use it with all your cool outboard gear and interfaces that I’m guessing you have.
@@Podcastage good point!

With every shotgun mic I've purchased so far, there is a hiss that seems to be unavoidable in preventing. Is this RODE better than the RODE VideoMic in that regard? I know people say you can try to remove it in Audacity but I can't get rid of all of it without affecting vocal quality.
Is the hiss from the mic? I've chased down a bad cable or two and found this to be the source.
