I was more a fan of the Rode than the Deity. Question back at you... the Rode VideoMic NTG can be used as a standalone USB mic (plugged directly into your laptop via USB cable). Does the Deity offer the same functionality?
Im gonna go with the RÖDE I think :)
Rode. More features!
what would work best with a canon g7x mark 2
They both sound really good!! Rode also has a really cool feature where you can record separate audio levels on the left and right channels. Which is perfect for when a loud noise happens or something clips, the right channel will be -20 of the left channel. Meaning you can bring back the clipped audio! Awesome video!!
I went with the Deity as it was reviewed well and budget was definitely a factor, the case is a plus too, along with battery life. It sounds great so far (I’m still a novice in audio recording).
Just got the deity v3 pro, wireless go, rode smart lav and the cannon m50 with a secondary 22mm lens love it! Thanks for all the reviews!!
I have both. They sound almost identical, really hard to tell, and very close to my MKH 416 (!!). Really good job from both Rode and Deity, thanks for bringing such a good sound quality for this price!
One important thing that wasn't mentioned in this review, the Deity can be connected to a balanced XLR which is very important to get a better sound when using an external recorder or a pro camera. And also the D3 Pro location kit comes with the XLR adapter and a second handheld-type Rycote shock mount, I got mine in sale on Amazon for $249 which is a lot more value than the Rode for the same price.
If I had to pick just one, I would go with the D3 location kit : same high quality sound, more value/accessories, and pro features/XLR, (and Rode copied them).
Thanks guys!!!! You always keep me informed with the knowledge to keep my channel going!!! Keep up the great work!
Bro you are awesome for showing the different angles and how easily you light yourself, and it looks great! That's valuable info, thank you!
I’ve been needing this video. Thanks
Just bought the Deity Pro! You guys are the best, you've helped in so many of my tech buying decisions for content creation! Thanks!
(And I clicked your link to buy it, woot woot)
Brilliant video. Found the back and forth switching perfect for comparison. Thanks!
Very helpful and informative video. Thanks for the comparison. Well done!
This is one of my favorite channel on UA-cam men. You bring unimaginable value. Thank you
The Rode is a bit bassy and the deity is clearer in the higher frequencies. I’d prefer go with the higher clarity and then add bass in post production. So whenever God blesses me with the finances I’ll buy the Deity.
Don't worry you will get there one day have a great year ahead. Let's do this!!!
Ran dax a great year you say
I’m on the same boat
I use the older road mic in my vlogs on my channel. I’m considering using a wireless mic or this newer road mic.
Hi nice videos and vlogs by the way let's grow together and have a great year ahead
I just got this newer rode I really like it
I have the Deity mic and I love it!!! (The D-3 $99 version) 🙌🖤
About to buy it
Great review!! I have the NTG and want an all black shock mount...hopefully it gets updated.
I am looking to enhance my UA-cam channel's audio and found this video to be very informative and helpful, many thanks!
It is really nice that most of the new cameras coming out don't create much internal static so boosting the sound natively form the mic isn't as big a deal any more. Old cameras and cheap cameras will still have this problem. What mic are you guys using. RODE VIDEO MIC PRO here.
Dude, very cool video with the skateboard...great depth of field, audio, and content.
I think a key point for the Rhode mic is that it can be used as a USB-C microphone into the computer and dedicated as one. I think it's a far better option than Deity's with having to plug it into the a mic jack of a laptop. The auto turn-on and off feature for Rhode is pretty quick. I've been using the Rhode NTG and although I don't need it, it does allow a headphone jack for monitoring audio for cameras that may not have that jack. I also keep on the dual channel recording incase audio does peak randomly. It gives me a nice safety net to choose in post.
Your comment is very useful. Thanks ;)
Something the content creator didn't add on the video for a comparison video.
Wait the Deity can't be used as a USB mic?
@Daniel Paulson What’s the difference of having a 3.5 to 3.5 plugged into the computer mic jack versus this 3.5 to usb?
@Daniel Paulson Yup, I've watched a few videos by Drew. Will try to find the related video.
I just might save and splurge on the NTG. Because the difference in price which I'm paying for it vs the Deity Pro is an extra 20% only.
Congrats on the 1 000 000 subscribers!
CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!! 🔥💯🙏🏿
Congratulations for 1M subs. You guys are amazing and i learned a lot with this channel. please keep it up. wish you all the best again ❤️👏🏻😃
Thank you for this video.. I’m trying to get better sound on my channel and watched several videos before finding yours and it really helped me along my journey 🙏🏼💯
I love the peaking indicator on the Rode, that is the deciding factor for me. Pluse the other features that the Rode has as far as manipulating the unwanted noise in your shooting enviroment.
Just got the Rode VideoMic Pro! About to test it on my creative/faith channel. Boom!! Love y'all 😊
Thanks for helping us make a 'sound' judgement
I currently use an external sm7b setup but want something simple for youtube shorts. I am going with the Rode. Thanks Omar and Think Media Team!
Very helpful and informative! Awesome video!
I bought the rode ntg a few weeks ago it's my first microphone it took me a little bit to figure it out but it's amazing the difference on an old camera 😀
I might be getting one. What did you have to figure out?
INCREDIBLY helpful!! Thank you!! 😁
Hey 🖐🏾 Omar great video I just purchase the Deity D3 Pro, because of your review been following Think Media for a while now, I trust your reviews.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I used to have a Scooby Doo. That shape too! Thanks for the great info I got the Sigma 16mm 1.4 + Canon M6 Mk 1. Looking at Mic's and lighting now...
♡ the difference is amazing ♡ i'll definitely be purchasing a mic after watching this ♡
Does the Rode have auto turn on and off like the Deity? Sorry if you said that and I missed it.
If I have the Deity D3 Pro connected directly to the camera, will it turn off when I turn the camera off, and then turn on when I turn the camera back on? (without me pushing any buttons?)
Thank you for this fantastic video! The Røde USB function is very unique and allows you to use it for videoconferencing so easily. Stay safe everyone!
Great review. I like the Deity Better. Sounds overall more clear and detailed. Has more battery life, a beautiful case and not protruding on the back when mounted on the camera. Its more clear on the high frequencies than the Rode, without having to move any button.
THINK MEDIA! You guys were there for me since day one, and I hit 2K subs in less than a year with you guys. The canon m50 was my first camera because of you guys too! I bought this mic a few days ago because of this video too, but the Rode Videomic NTG's safety track feature is not working well at all with the canon m50. Is it because I need the SC3 adapter, to take the trrs connection and convert it to trs?
My guy Omar becoming more and more fly per video drop. Fear of god + outfits, accessories + the hair-SHEEESH. GO OFF KING
Wow, nice set up. Like the Rode.
What I think is really crazy is that deity FORCED Rodes have to make something better. They were basically resting on their laurels Deity came out swinging and they had to respond.
I have the V-Mic (not pro) and I've basically abandoned Rode after bring ride or die for Years!
Sebastian Smith a lot of people have! Pretty crazy to think that no one company is safe - just takes a new kid on the block to do all the right things
Are you plugging your Deity into your phone at all? We've had issues with frequency interference but the clarity of audio in the Deity is absolutely stellar!
Would you suggest your mic for a Canon M50?
@@AlextheLue yes sir.
Edit: i use it with my M50 when I'm trying to work super light weight. But typically I plug it into a Zoom H1 then go into my camera, but yeah, it works great, I love it.
@@VincitDesignCo nah. I don't use my phone for any production.
Omar always has the best energy! And as always, shares some great tips 😊 Thanks Think media team! ✨
Did you use an ND filter for some of this video? If so, which one? Thanks!
"A sound judgment". Nicely done :)
👍 I tried the shotgun mic but didn’t like it as I would never be able to move around. So I got a wireless mic and will never look back 🤙 Great video though!
To all small UA-cam channel owners hope your UA-cam channel and mine become successful and to everybody have a great year ahead let's do this!!!
Ran dax I am with you #64 👍🏻 good luck, spread it back 😉
@@MKamTech Even to you my friend..All the best!
PhotoGenie you are a star, cheers 😉👍🏻
@@MKamTech Thanks man..cheers too!
@@MKamTech I'm with you. Please spread back too
I move around alot and appreciate you saying I should get a wireless setup.
awesome review . thank you!
I was just looking about a mic for my camera, now i know what to get :)👍
JBS which one will you go for?
@@OmarEltakrori RØDE VideoMic NTG is definitely the mic I'll go for :)
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!
Could you please make detailed a review of Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Microphone. I know there is already one such review from Nolan, but it would be amazing if you make one more and more detailed.
I actually have the non pro ($99) version of the Deity and so far I'm loving it, works for my current budget until i'm ready to upgrade
Perspective Caribbean that’s a good little mic imo the best bang for your buck. I have both of them I boom the the pro and the other one stays on top my camera. Sound quality isn’t that much different your only losing some features. Just something to know so you don’t rush the upgrade. 🤟🏻
I bought the diety a few months before the NTG came out. I wish I had the NTG for the -20db and the ability to plug it into my camera.
Ive been intrested so much on this channel since 2 months like that .....
I would like to have a vedio from you guys how we can connect every parts of such of lights, microphone, and cam and other things. ...can i have a vedio on that
Hi; thanks for the video, was very helpful. One question about the Deity. Would using it as a boom be a problem? Would using an extension affect it's automatic power off or on function? I mean, could it power off when I don't want it to? hoe you understand my question. Thanks)
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?
Thanks for the insight @electrichimp im also a sound rook
No mention of the Rode capability of being used as a USB mic come on now fammmm this is huge feature
True .. it's more versatile
Yeah, that is a massive advantage- thats what swung it for me as I wasn't intending to spend so much on a video mic, but I'm glad I did and the NTG works great as a USB podcast or voiceover mic, and even suspended overhead for Zoom calls.
The deity can't do that?
deity can do that
Peter Johnson I’m new to mics. Can the Rode Videomic Pro(+?) also be used as a voice over mic?
I have he Deity D3 (not the Pro) and for $99 it's great, just doesn't have the adjustable gain. I may upgrade to the Pro in the future but for now the D3 meets my needs
yoooo dat color grade on the talking head shot is soooo amazing, do you guys have luts?
I got the Rode Pro Plus for me is great and battery charger is during 7 hours continue.also I will be using AA Battery too. great for vlogs and travel too,
Should I rather pick the Røde VideMic NTG or the Pro Plus?
Which one is better for Vlogs?
Thanks Omar!
This video really helped!
What cage are you using on your camera in this video or is it some kind of bracket?
Just bought Deity D3. My next video is gonna be with it.
Can you do a video on audio options without audio output? I have the a5100.
Do you know if either of these work with an H1 Zoom?
I laughed out loud when you said “lenses”😂😂 that’s phenomenal hahaha thank you for not taking that out🔥
Ben Martin Lmaoo
I bought the Deity d3 pro and the trs audio extension cord recommended but I cannot get the mic to work with the extension cord plugged in. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. The short curly trrs cord that came with the mic works when plugged straight into my camera but when I add the extension cord the audio no longer works. I purchased both the 3.5mm trs and trrs cords with no success. Any advice someone can give me would be much appreciated. I really want to boom my mic but can't without an extension cord.
Any recommendations for External good quality mic for iPhone/smartphones??
If you have bmpcc4k you don't really need safety channel feature. It can be set in camera.
When you at outdoor using rode NTg , Are u using Foam shield ? or windshield?
Hello, could you tell me if the Rode VideoMic NTG will work with the SR-AX100 audio mixer unlike the Deity that nees plug in power to operate, Thanks.
Can deity d3 pro used in computer and phone by just plug the included cable in? or we need to used another cable?
The rode videomic ntg can fit into a regular handheld mic holder?
Thanks
Picked up the Rode NTG yesterday, love it so far coming from the rode videomicro!
Hey! I have the video micro right now. And I'm looking at this NTG to replace it. So it sounds like we are similar. What made you want to switch? I'm having the hardest time getting the micro to sound good for my voice overs.
Just a quick note you can also use rode ntg on your computer with its usb c to record on pc. And also to live stream. You can also plug your headphones on the side of the microphone to monitor your audio.
The RODE feature where it has the -20 Db is super useful for me who will be using it to record in instances where there will be loud fans cheering and yelling.
Help!!!! What’s the best trrs cable extension to use on a boom stand and to connect to a mobile device? I’m going to be getting either the deity or rode that you showed in the video.
I have a question if I want to do voice-overs ...Shall i buy NT1A or NT2A? or RODE videomic NTG will serve the purpose?
Which mic is best for music purposes ?
Is there a shotgun mic I can use for my PC and not have to worry about batteries? Do either of these work for this function? I'm trying to avoid background noise at my house.
Guys i think we would love to see a tad bit more smartphone videography
Where we see about backdrops, lighting, audio etc because dslr needs a lot less light compared to smartphone AND audio is different in different gadgets
The two are very similar. Now I have a question. Which do you prefer: VideoMic NTG or Rode VideoMic pro +?
I didn't notice an audio and distance comparison. Did I miss something? Or was this only a features comparison?
Can someone please tell me what is that adapter used to connect with NTG to the Boom Arm. I don't know what size to what size. Does anyone know?
How did you keep from having a lotta room noise? My VideoMic NTG has a whole ton of room noise.
What's best mic to record nature sounds like ocean waves , sea waves , rain sounds etc
Bro I'm having issues with my yeti nano connected to my a6400. a lot of background static noise. seems like condenser mics will always have that no matter the settings due to the USB Connection issues. I'm thinking of using shotgun. what do you guys think about this issue and resolution?
So do you charge the rode using usb?
Really been thinking about investing in a microphone for my videos. I think my sound quality is good now but could be better.
Rode VideoMicro is a good place to start at $60
@@switchunboxing I considered doing that, but decided i'd just end up buying the NTG later, so I saved (HA!) myself $60 by going large in the first place.
I had wondered if I would need a Videomicro when shooting with my smartphone, but I don't think that is the case, as the NTG is light and short enough for it not to matter when you stick the phone in a cheap cage.
I think the microphone from Rode has fuller sound. But both sound really good. ☀️
Is there anyway to replace the red mount with a black one???
Will this get rid of my autofocus sound?? When I record with my camera I can hear it auto focusing on the video and it is annoying
I just got mine today but can not get it to work. Trying to use is with a new canon SL3. Could it be the Jack has three rings and I need two? Am I supposed to charge it via usb on my laptop first? I had it powered through my computer. In playback loud buzzing can hear audio.
Which mic did you get?
> Am I supposed to charge it via usb on my laptop first? I had it powered through my computer. In playback loud buzzing can hear audio.
I would charge it up before you use it- For the NTG, 2 hours of charging gives 30 hours of use.
When the USB is plugged in, it is a USB mic and the 3.5mm jack becomes a headphone socket. Try without the USB.
> Could it be the Jack has three rings and I need two?
The Rode has a smart cable which detects whether you are going to a smartphone (TRRS) or a Camera plug (TRS) and adapts accordingly
> Trying to use is with a new canon SL3
I have an SL3, but haven't tried the NTG with it yet (too many other options to play with over the last few days since it arrived)
We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun microphone, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?
What ring light are you using in this video?
can i ask why you never review Sennheiser style? like those slim style. I am a new birdy, as new as you can think of, I am just curious because I see some of youtubers use that style and they sound crisp, but i dont see anything in like that in this channel. or could be I searched it wrong. Thanks!
*SIR WHICH L BRACKET DID YOU USE TO MOUNT THE MICROPHONE? I noticed that you camera has flip upwards not sidewards.*
I think both mics allow you to slide the mount forwards or backwards in the shoe, so it doesn't foul a flip-up display, or get into your shot with a wide lens. Certainly the Rode does that.
Just and FYI... the Rode mic also comes with a black shock mount option
