RODE VideoMic NTG Review

In today’s episode, we put the new RODE VideoMic NTG through several tests to see how well it performs as an on-camera and off-camera shotgun boom microphone. This new mic moves the camera-top shotgun microphone market forward several steps by adding, for the first time, USB recording capabilities as well as a bunch of other very useful features. This is probably my favorite $250 or less shotgun microphone.

When it comes to audio you're one of very few people on KZfaq I trust to give proper advice. The NTG seems like a great mic, although my VideoMicro is surprisingly good for what I do. Might be tempted to pick up the NTG at a later date, though. Have an amazing New Year!

NTG is a little more but you get more for that money. If those extras mean nothing to you, than I say stick with the D3 Pro and save some money. Great job Curtis!

@curtisjudd 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Gerald, no, the microphone has to support a balanced signal. Or you can use a DI box to convert to a balanced signal but those are generally pretty bulky.

@imark7777777 4 жыл бұрын

Those adapters are generally passive but there are some that do plug-in power conversion that are more expensive. I have also seen some with built in Transformers which would make the signal a balanced send but they are hard to find. If only manufactured listed their doctors with more than the incoming and outgoing connector!

I finally bought one. This is an odd little mic. The “gain” control is a bit misleading. It does not control the mic preamp gain. It appears to be a digital output level volume control. You can hear little “ticks” as you change it indicating it is NOT an analog controller. I believe the mic gain is probably fixed at 50-60dB gain (amplification) with the addition of selectable 20dB attenuation before the preamp. Still, in the end it works well. Simply set your camera to it’s lowest setting and turn the dial on the back end of the mic until you reach the desired level. Remember to use that -20 dB option in a loud environment. I love the auto power feature. For the price a furry wind cover should be included. The foam does not do much in the wind. And it gets even more odd when used over USB on a computer. You can use it for audio in and out, but there is no way to turn the mic off. You can always hear it.

So would the recommended workflow be to always record the two versions of audio to right and left channel (one at higher db and one at lower) and then discard the one that's not needed, and use the best version and then sync it over right and left channels? Or is that just a needlessly complicated workflow, and the two versions is only needed for certain difficult audio environments?

Where channel 2 is set to 30% gain instead of 50. Is this wrong? or how its supposed to be used on the pocket(or any cine-camera for that matter)?

@curtisjudd 2 жыл бұрын

@@Mastersh1t It does work with the pocket 4k. You need to set the camera so that the left channel is set to 3.5mm mic left and the right channel is set to 3.5mm mic right. You'll then have the primary track on the left and the safety track on the right in the camera files.

@@curtisjudd Thank you for the quick reply Curtis! I thought that as well but when I pulled the file into Final cut I couldnt see any difference in the audio waves. They looked identical. Thats why I lowered the gain on the right channel so I could feel confident one channel was lower than the other. I will give it a try tomorrow again and see if I missed anything.

Stellar work as always, Curtis, so thank you. You’re making it very much easier for us little guys to make informed purchasing decisions.

It would also be great to hear your thoughts on how to get into this line of work and what the considerations are. Maybe this exists in your online classes, but just thought I’d mention it. Thanks!

@ZachBoyce 4 жыл бұрын

If you take the extended cable issue out of the equation and wish to use this as an indoor stationary boom mic would you still pick a super-cardioid over this or Deity to avoid sound bounced off the walls?

@curtisjudd 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Zach, given the choice and assuming money is not a barrier, I'd almost always choose to use a non-shotgun super-cardioid when recording indoors. But if money is a consideration, and it almost always is, I'd think either the VideoMic NTG or D3 Pro will do a nice job, especially if you manage any room reverb with blankets.

Hey wonder what you think the differences would be between your set up and the videomic ntg? I'm debating a similar set up vs the ntg?

@ArikGST 4 жыл бұрын

@@Nickporter17 If you have a Canon or Nikon Camera, the NTG is gonna be an issue. If you have a Sony or Panasonic, the NTG is gonna easily deliver enough quality for KZfaq and safe you a decent amount of money compared to my setup. But personally I would go with the Deity V-Mic D3 Pro, which is potentially better then the NTG at a lower cost (at least here in germany, the NTG is a good 60Euro more expensive then the Deity V-Mic D3 Pro). Not only are you going to safe some money compared to my setup if you go with the Rode or Deity, but you`ll avoid the step of syncing the audio to the video, which can be an issue for some software. But, if you have to work a lot with the audio mixing and mastering, the Tascam DR60MkII + Rode NTG2 (or any other prosumer grade shotgun mic) combo delivers higher quality audio that is easier to manipulate. I have to cut out a lot of room sound, DeEss the audio and do some EQ, the 24Bit 48khz WAV files from my Tascam allow that easily. That would be a bigger issue with the audiofiles coming straight out of the camera. Bit of a long answer but I think I gave you a good amount of pros/cons :D

@Nickporter17 4 жыл бұрын

@@ArikGST thank you! I currently own the diety smic 2s and run it straight into my Sony alpha with a cheap little inline preamp. So a bit of a hybrid set up. I was planning to buy a higher end recorder like your tascam in the future. But was considering selling it for a simpler Videomic NTG or Vmic D3 Pro. I guess what you have highlighted is that the real difference will be in levels of post processing ability of each type of setup. Thank you very much for the long answe!

@ArikGST 4 жыл бұрын

@@Nickporter17 Glad I could help. Since you already have a high end microphone, the Diety Smic 2s is a GREAT mic, it might be worth to go with a recorder to use that mic to it`s full potential. Really depends on what kind of video you want to make though. For most KZfaqrs who make vlogs/talking-head/sitting-down/overhead-shot type of videos (like mine) something like a Deity Vmic D3 (not pro) would likely serve all their needs as long as you get the mic nice and close to your source. But honestly it would be a shame to let go of the Smic2s, maybe it would be enough to use a higher quality inline Preamp. I am not up to date on preamps so I can`t make a recommendation.

Yes the output is balanced, but just fine for my needs with both my Sony ZV-1, my iPad Pro, my M1 Mac mini, and my iPhone when I need it; it’s all about the versatility and portability. I did mention to RODE about the non-replaceable battery, but then I was told that it was one good reason why you register the mic for the 10-year warranty. If it believes in this product that much, I can see myself using this for years. Again, thanks!

Thanks for another great review, Curtis. One of the great things about having so many microphone reviews from you is that I know your voice very well and can compare vs. the reviews in separate videos :)

@@curtisjudd Curtis, I have a question: since it is a mono mic it just records only one channel right? Because thats whats happening with this new Mic! Doesn’t matter if attached to my Nikon Z7 nor my Ninja V. I can only record the right channel. I tried the TRRS cable but also several TRS cables. Any ideas or is my unit defective…? Thanks in advance!

@curtisjudd 2 жыл бұрын

@@andreathode3782 It has been a long while but I thought it outputs the same signal on both right and left channels except when in safety track mode and then the right channel is the same audio but at a lower level. Sounds like you may want to contact RODE support. Best wishes!
