Rode VideoMic NGT On-Camera Shotgun Microphone

RØDE’s VideoMic NTG represents a breakthrough in compact microphone technology, combining broadcast-quality audio with unprecedented versatility for modern content creators. Built around the same revolutionary annular line tube technology found in the acclaimed NTG5, this microphone uses acoustic perforations instead of traditional linear slots to achieve remarkable transparency and natural sound reproduction. The highly directional supercardioid polar pattern, flat frequency response, and exceptionally low self-noise make this compact on-camera microphone a serious contender against full-sized professional shotgun mics.

The VideoMic NTG excels in adaptability with comprehensive digital switching options including high-pass filtering at 75Hz or 150Hz, high frequency boost for enhanced clarity, switchable -20dB pad, and a crucial safety channel that records at -20dB to prevent clipped audio. The infinitely variable gain control allows precise output adjustment, while the intelligent auto-sensing 3.5mm output automatically detects whether you’re connected to a camera or mobile device, eliminating the need for TRS/TRRS adaptors. A dB peak warning light ensures you’ll always maintain optimal recording levels.

Beyond its on-camera capabilities, this microphone functions as a fully-featured USB microphone for computers, tablets, and smartphones, making it perfect for voiceovers, podcasts, gaming, and livestreaming applications. The internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides over 30 hours of operation and charges completely via USB-C in just two hours, with the option for continuous recording using external power. Weighing only 94 grams and constructed from aerospace-grade aluminium, the VideoMic NTG includes high-quality Rycote® Lyre® shock mounting with integrated cable management and adjustable positioning for professional results in any recording scenario.
