Microphones to use in extremely windy conditions: Rode NTG5 Vs Sennheiser MKE600 Vs ..| Alissa & Jay

There is not much comparison between Sennheiser MKE600 vs Rode NTG5 in the internet. Even if there are a few videos about these microphones, they pretty much are tested in ideal environments. Here in this video I try to test Sennheiser MKE600 vs Rode NTG5 microphones along with other microphones such as Rode NT1 Generation 5, DJI Mic 2, etc.
I hope these video can shed some light on the audio samples from these microphones in adverse conditions. Hope you enjoy the video and have a great day!

Hej, great video, very helpful,
I will ask because maybe you have some experience about that
I'm looking for shotgun microphone to use with DJI MIC2 transmiter like you did at video
and I have to decide between the Rode Videomic NTG and the Sennheiser MKE600
Have you some experience with Rode Videomic NTG ?
You think which one can have better performance with DJI MIC2 transmiter ?
I know Sennheiser MKE600 with ZOOM is giving incredible results but I make titkok videos and I will never use zoom transmiter for that..

Thanks for watching the video.
IMO, it depends on what you value.
So here are the list of things you might value and what's better. Depending on what you value, I think you can make the decision.
Weight:
NTG (95gms vs 124gms for MKE600 + battery weight for both)
Size:
NTG
Audio quality:
MKE600
Surrounding sound rejection and directional audio for a distant subject:
MKE600
Wind noise rejection:
Depends on the dead cat/ other solutions.
MKE600 will perform better
Voice:
MKE600 - neutral
All Rode - warmer
Shock mount:
NTG
Versatility:
If XLR recorder- MKE600
If USB-C - NTG
Both support TRS 3.5mm jack
In my experience, I do not use audio directly into computer.
I use audio directly into camera or record in recorder or transmit to the receiver while recording into transmitter. So, I prefer XLR from MKE600, even when I find no difference in using it between 3.5mm jack and XLR.
I did choose MKE600 over NTG.
But depending on your needs, your choice may vary. I don't recommend either of them for indoor use. I find cardiod mics like NT1 Gen5 performing much better in indoors without sound treatment.
Hope it helped.

Additionally, one more thing to consider:
You can use MKE600 with xrl, 3.5mm jack and USB type c (via converter) compatible devices while NTG is not that versatile.
Why this is important because some cameras like Sony has XLR handles which can't take 3.5mm line inputs.
Well, if you plan have peace of mind, just go with MKE600 without having a need to upgrade in the future.
But I have to say, I prefer Rode NTG5 sound stage over Sennheiser. Not so much with NTG.

​@@AlissaAndJay oh man, really apreciate your answer, now I can clearly see what I should do!
After all I decide to buy MKE600.
Like you said in another answer, with the MKE600 I can easily upgrade my setup by purchasing a zoom recorder and using XLR which will ultimately provide much better sound quality as I saw at your video
Thanks again!
