Rode VideoMic NTG — Broadcast-Grade On-Camera Shotgun Microphone

The Rode VideoMic NTG is a broadcast-grade on-camera shotgun microphone for filmmakers, podcasters and content creators. It uses the same revolutionary line tube technology as the NTG5, with acoustic perforations along its length replacing the linear slots found on conventional shotguns, delivering unmatched acoustic transparency and a natural, uncoloured sound.

What Sets This Microphone Apart

A single capsule feeds both an auto-sensing 3.5mm TRS/TRRS output and a digital USB-C output, so the same unit transitions between camera, mobile and computer workflows without adapter cables. A built-in safety channel records a duplicate track at -20 dB on the right channel for instant backup when levels spike unexpectedly.

Acoustic Performance

A pressure gradient electret condenser with a supercardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound and isolates the subject in noisy environments.

• Polar Pattern: Supercardioid — tight front-focused pickup that rejects side and rear noise
• Frequency Range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — full-spectrum capture from deep rumbles to airy highs
• Self-Noise: 15 dBA — quiet enough for clean dialogue recording

Connectivity & Power

The auto-sensing 3.5mm output detects TRS camera and TRRS mobile inputs automatically, paired with USB-C digital streaming 24-bit / 48 kHz audio.

• Output: 3.5mm auto-sensing + USB-C — works with cameras, phones, tablets and computers
• Bit Depth / Sample Rate: 24-bit / 48 kHz — broadcast-grade digital resolution
• Battery Life: 30+ hours — covers multi-day shoots on a single charge

Build & Physical Specs

Machined from aerospace-grade aluminium at just 94 g, it stays balanced on a camera hotshoe or boompole.

• Weight: 94 g — light enough for run-and-gun camera work
• Construction: Aerospace-grade aluminium — rugged body that resists field abuse
• Safety Channel: -20 dB duplicate track — backup recording when levels unexpectedly peak
