Overview
The RODE VideoMic NTG Hybrid Analog/USB Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone brings the sound of RODE's acclaimed NTG shotgun mics to a compact, camera-mountable design built for vloggers, run-and-gun filmmakers, voiceover artists, and podcasters. Its aerospace-grade aluminum housing keeps it durable, compact, and lightweight, whether mounted on a camera or a boompole, and its supercardioid polar pattern focuses on sound in front of the mic while attenuating noise from the sides and rear. An auto-sensing 3.5mm TRRS output and included cable connect straight to cameras, portable recorders, and mobile devices with no adapters required, while a USB-C connection unlocks full digital microphone functionality for computers and tablets.
Continuously variable gain, a -20dB pad, and a selectable safety channel help keep recordings free of distortion across a wide range of sound sources, and a switchable high-pass filter and treble boost fine-tune clarity for spoken word. An internal rechargeable battery delivers up to 30 hours of use and recharges via USB-C in around two hours, and the mic can be powered and charged at the same time from a USB battery pack. A Rycote Lyre-style shockmount with a sliding rail and built-in cable management simplifies setup and keeps handling noise to a minimum.
Extensive Device Compatibility
The auto-sensing 3.5mm TRRS output automatically switches between TRS and TRRS as needed, so the included cable connects straight to cameras, portable recorders, and mobile devices without extra adapters. A USB-C connection turns the mic into a full digital USB microphone for computers, tablets, and compatible Lightning-equipped iOS devices with the appropriate cable.
Onboard Gain, Pad, and Filtering
- Continuously variable gain control suits mic, line, or headphone-level sources.
- A -20dB pad and selectable safety channel help prevent distortion from loud sources.
- Switchable 75Hz or 150Hz high-pass filter rolls off low-frequency noise.
- Selectable high-frequency boost enhances clarity and detail for spoken word.
30-Hour Rechargeable Battery
An internal lithium-ion battery delivers up to 30 hours of recording and recharges via USB-C in around two hours, and the mic can be charged while in use, so it can be powered from a USB battery pack during long shoots.
Rycote Shockmount with Cable Management
A Rycote Lyre-style shockmount attaches to a camera or boompole and isolates the mic from handling noise and vibration, while a sliding rail lets you fine-tune mic position and built-in cable management keeps the cord run tidy.
