Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have the Rode videomic pro for my DSLR camera. Would this Rode NTG microphone provide better sound recording when shooting videos?

A: The specifications on the two mics are very similar, and the tonal characteristics will be similar, too. The big difference is that the Video Mic Pro can handle a higher SPL, and is a bit more sensitive.

Q: 2. Can I order it with a black shockmount instead of bright red? Some reviews show it with a black one.

A: I don't think that is possible as there is no option to pick the color of the shock mount.

Q: 3. Will the sound be better if I connect this to an audio interface instead of directly to the computer via USB?

A: It would be best to connect directly to your computer via USB, unless you need to use more than one mic at a time.

Q: 4. Will this mount to the RODE PSA1 Studio ARM?

Q: 6. will this microphone work with a macbook pro?(late 2016)

A: Yes it will. You will just need a standard USB connection on the Macbook Pro for it to work.

Q: 7. Is there a case included with the mic?

A: No

Q: 8. Can you use trough a "power less" mixer or adapter such as the Saramonic SR-AX100, that do not have power, since the mic might think that it's not connected to anything...? Does it have to be connected "directly" into a powered camera?

A: Yes, the Rode VideoMic NTG Hybrid Analog/USB Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone would work well through the Saramonic SR-AX100 Passive 2-Channel Audio Adapter for DSLR Cameras. The VideoMic NTG powers itself via battery and has an auto-sensing, switchable TRRS/TRS output connection.

Q: 9. Does this mic work when directly connected to an Atomos Ninja?

A: Manufacturer (Atomos) does not list whether plugin Mic power is provided; a support ticket has been generated on Atomos.com The answer may depend on which model Atomos Ninja is being used.

Q: 10. Does anyone else have issues with the auto on/off on a Lumix S1H?

A: The VideoMic NTG is compatible with the Lumix S1H and the auto on/off function for the mic should work properly. We are not aware of any issues. I would recommend disconnecting the mic and turning the power off for both the camera and mic, then starting over for the setup. Connect the mic to the camera with power off for both, then turn on power for the camera and the mic should power on automatically. When you are ready to turn off power for the camera and mic, use the power button on the camera only and don't touch the power button on the mic. The camera's power button should function as the master power control for the mic. Rode does note that if you manually switch the mic on using its power button and then plug it into the camera or turn the power on for the camera separately, you will need to switch the mic's power off manually. So to make sure the auto on/off feature operates correctly, start with the power off for both the mic and camera, then only use the camera's power button to control them. If you are still experiencing problems with the auto on/off feature, I suggest contacting tech support at Rode directly. They are very helpful in resolving most issues and will be able to confirm whether you may need to update firmware or if there is another issue preventing the mic from functioning properly.
