RODEVideoMic NTG On-Camera Shotgun Microphone - Yellow
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a directional supercardioid design, the yellow VideoMic NTG gives camera and mobile recordings practical level control rather than a fixed-output workflow. Selectable high-pass filtering, high-frequency boost, a –20dB pad, and a separate –20dB safety channel help manage changing recording conditions and protect against main-channel clipping. Its 3.5 mm output senses camera or mobile connections, while USB mode turns it into a microphone for computers, tablets, and smartphones with headphone monitoring available from the same jack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Camera or mobile shoots where output level, filtering, and a backup safety channel need quick adjustment.
- Voiceovers, podcasts, gaming, or livestreaming through a computer, tablet, or smartphone USB connection.
- Recording sessions that need headphone monitoring while the microphone operates through USB.
