Question of the Day ⚡ Which microphone do you think sounds better? Let us know! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼****** Check out the Rode Videomic NTG HERE ➡️ amzn.to/2Xqe61i *****Check out the Rode Videomic Pro Plus HERE ➡️ amzn.to/3ggLekD
I did a sound comparison video of these two not long ago on my channel ( ruclips.net/video/rhN_lwf_dKo/видео.html ) ... it's was close call. I think the NTG is a little better 🤔.
Perhaps the most important difference between the two mics was not highlighted: the Pro (and Pro+) have replaceable batteries, the Pro being 9V and the Pro+ being 2xAA. The NTG has an internal rechargeable battery that is not user replaceable. This means the NTG's battery performance will degrade over time and if the battery dies in the field, the recharge time is up to 2 hours. That said all models can be powered over USB as well with the Pro and Pro+ having micro-USB ports and the NTG having USB-C. Despite this huge drawback, I own the NTG and love it. It works reasonably well as an on-camera/smartphone mic and on a boom pole. But I find myself using it most at my desk in post because it's a fantastic USB mic for everything from VO to Zoom calls. I'm an audio engineer so normally I shun budget mics, especially USB mics, in favor of a traditional studio signal chain but this NTG is bringing me into the modern age, at least until the battery craps out.
Yes, good think putting it up.. Now I have a question.. if used as a USB mic for laptops or desktops.. won't the battery get overcharged since it's being charged too while plugged in as a USB mic?
We recently replaced our video mic pro with the NTG. Couldn’t be happier, such a versatile and easy mic to use. Gain control knob, USB C connectivity with audio monitoring, auto power on & off, works with both TRS & TRRS mic jacks, solid build and good battery life.
Sean and Jordan. Just saw your video post. My comment is not so much about this post, but about your vision. I just crossed the 5K subscriber mark and appreciate the work your guys do. You have provided me essential tips and techniques that I have used to tweak my channel. I look a whole lot less rough around the edges thanks to you and a few others. Those of us starting out really appreciate your content. Six months in and I have no intention of giving up.
You were asking us to comment about what types of videos we post on our channels. Well, I post what i hope are fun and informative journeys in Bangkok, Thailand. Just getting started but got 15,000 views my first month....thanks in many ways to YOUR channel. Thanks Think Media!!
just here to send you a big thank ! you've helped me so much with this channel to grow my very humble one. i've followed you step by step and it worked amazingly ! keep on the good job ! 👏
I took that cable off mine and use the VideomicPro+ lead. The NTG lead is too stiff and awkward for my preferences. The NTG is louder because it’s a lot more sensitive. However, it can also clip more easily on peaks and reducing the input doesn’t help. The VideomicPro+ can record much louder sounds.
Hey Ian, turning down the invariable gain control knob will help you reduce clipping in your audio recording. You might need to reduce the preamps in your camera and increase the gain preamps in your microphone so the gain control knob is more effective. The VideoMic NTG also has a peak warning light. Whenever you see the light on, I'd recommend reducing the gain on the VideoMic NTG. Hope that helps!
negative 10 DB is more than enough, i recently shot a video using power tools and the negative 10 was very very quiet. i love my Video Mic Pro Plus... Also being Australian i love Australian Companies and Love Australian Made even more!
LOVING this topic Think Media! Gratitude and keep rocking the conscious content from this new RUclipsr who you've positively inspired to start my own channel 😊🙌🏼 Blessings ✨
Bottom line, the mics are comparable with one big exception. The VideoMic NTG has a high response on the low frequencies. If you have a normal voice, these two mics will have no real difference between them. However, if you have a radio voice, a deep resonating voice, the VideoMic NTG is by far your best choice. I have the studio version the NT1 mic and it makes my deep voice so sexy !!!!
I am looking for all the necessary equipment for my son’s and I start our own RUclips video, we open the channels few years ago, but haven’t film any video. He will be talking about sports and I may be doing makeup or talking about politics, music, lifestyle. Filming on the streets as well in the future. This video came on time, I was just searching on Amazon and stores.
Thank you for this video. I do gun reviews and a recent news shotgun mic was blowing out my sound. Going with the NTG for the -20db (coming from the wireless GO mics with -24db, which always worked well)
I have the Rode Videomic NTG but I still get a hiss sound (even I updated the software) in my room. I'm using it at the same height and setup as you Nolan. I use a Canon EOS R, what do you think I should improve to remove that noise?
It's hard to know for sure... But my guess would be that your preamps on your camera are high? Try turning your pre amps all the way down like I did and then use the dial on the microphone to adjust your levels. Have you tried that?
I think Nolan might be right. If you turn down the preamp in your camera and turn up the preamp (knob) on the microphone, the hiss should reduce! If it doesn't, email service@rode.com and our service team will help you troubleshoot!
I am using the rode video mic pro (not the pro one) and it's amazing, I am sure these are even better but way more expensive... would recommend the one I'm using since it's cheaper and does the job well...
I have a M50 with videomicro, do you think it’ll be a significant upgrade if I buy the NTG? Also do I just plug it straight into the camera or should I get a preamp/mixer/audio interface?
@@KevinNordstrom Im looking for a mic for voice overs and possibly low-voice (not asmr, but low like that) vids... would the Sennheiser work for that (I am an audio noob 🙄)
Thank you for the video. I think that the NTG sounded better. I have been looking at buying a new mic and I think the NTG is going to be the one. We are full time RV travel vloggers (I also work full time in construction management). We shoot travel videos, RV DIY, national park videos, RV park reviews, etc...
I bought a Rode VideoMic NTG Camera but now I am struggling with getting an arm for it. any suggestions? I haven't seen in any video taking about the arm!
i dont usually comment on your videos but im one of your regular viewers @Think Media Your channel helped me chose what camera to buy to start our vlogs. Continue sharing tips for us newbies. God bless you always.
Hey? Which extension cable should I use for my ntg to mount on my boom pole for my canon 90D? I got the rode VC1 10 inch cable but it keeps cutting out and I hear static. Which extension cable should I buy or what can I use to extend the cable?
A shotgun mic will be my next purchase. Currently I'm using a Boya BY-M1 Lav mic. Its great but I live in a noisy street and its picking up background noises a bit. A shotgun mic will definitely help reduce this. Another great video, thanks!
Which mic would you recommend for someone who wants to start a youtube channel, also what equipment should I get? Which camera ? Which laptop? Which programs do I need?
To be honest having been on RUclips for half a year and now uploading every single day for a while I found that for me personally lavalier mics work waaay better than shortgun...any thoughts on this?
NTG seems a great mic, so I just got NTG and it came with 3.5 mm jack with three rings. I think that my cannon camera needs TRS( two rings) cable. When I plugged in this cable to my camera, it is very lose on my camera and becomes disconnected if I move camera slightly. Would you know if this is normal?
Had to come back to say the VM NTG I received sounds more natural than the VMP+. Easy decision to get VM NTG. The USB output for consistent voiceover is nice. I doubt battery life will be a problem, but will be picking up a 12v to USBC adapter to power mic from a monitor that already powers the camera. The markings are relative boosts, not absolute, so no surprise the VM NTG is 6dB hotter than the VMP+ when both are at max boost.
Sound such an issue on my first few vids . Got a camera but been using my phone, considering getting a Rode for both. What else are people using to film their first few vids on?
What if I leave the Rode NTG permanently connected to my computer via USB? Will that degrade the NTG battery? I assume it will because my computer is on all day when I work and it'll probably trickle charge the NTG battery, just like when you leave a laptop connected to the wall socket. I'm hoping this isn't the case though, hence why I'm asking.
I am thinking about the NTG to live stream my band... do you think it’s a good choice. I would be placing in with the camera about 15-20 feet from the band (we need to spread out for social distancing purposes)
What audio level do you have on your sony camera? I have a a6500 and a rode pro compact mic and I'm picking up so much background noise! Not sure where that's coming from though because everything is the room is turned off! I'm so sad because it's an investment and doesn't seem to be working for me.
$289 and $248....... I believe that I'm using $23 MIC including the adaptor for my Macbook. Even that was a big investment for me 😂 And why did I watch it until the end when I can't afford any of them?😂😂 But I'll keep that brand in mind. Rode microphone.... I'll get it when I hit my 10K subscribers! Let's keep up the good world #smallyoutubers We can do this!
Gotta start somewhere! I used a $30 Takstar shotgun mic to record audio for this video because I wanted to show both mics. So with good mic placement, and a little bit of audio editing you can get some good audio!
Love the video man. I am definitely buying that mic. Unrelated question. How do you make the background this red. Can you please link it in your answer. Thx
I have a fan/light in the middle of the room on the ceiling with 3 RGB bulbs that I can change from my phone. And then 1 more in the lamp you see in the shot. I;ll be making a video on this in the future!
@@nolanmolt please do. That is golden. I am a new creator and i do follow good honest advice. Nolan you are doing great job. I have a lot of respect for you. Think media is very lucky to have you.
Can you do a comparison of Rode NGT1 and NGT5 and NGT3? Also a video about these microphones for RUclips. I want to improve my mic and get one of those, would love to get the Rode NGT3!!
It would work, but probably not the best. A shotgun mic more focuses in on one direction so you would be getting louder levels from whatever band member it is pointed at. The Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro would give you more of an accurate recording of what the room sounded like.
Thanks for this comparison, helps a lot. You said you don't know what they did to make the NTG compatible with phones. I can see on your desk that the Pro plus have a TRS 3.5 plug, so 3 poles while the NTG have TRRS plus, 4 poles, that's what's make it compatible without any additional adapter. Hope I'm not wrong.
This is off subject, but I have a camera question. I started a RUclips cooking channel and use my go pro 7 black as my main camera. I wanted to purchase another camera for my main, and use my go pro for a second camera for over head close ups and what not. Any suggestions for a main ? I don’t know much about cameras so not sure where to start. I am receiving the 2020 iPad Pro Friday so will be editing with Luma fusion from now on. If that matters at all for what I get. BTW I just started watching your vids and find them very informative and easy to sit through. Thank you for any advice you can give me.
Hi. I know you guys like the boya mics. I bought the by-bm3032 2 weeks ago and I am loving it. It is supposed to be the videomic pro plus equivalent. Did you had the chance to test it? I’d love to see a review on it. Thanks.
I use a Takstar SGC-600 and a BOYA BY-M1 and I must say the sound is a lot better while using boya mic with my mobile phone than Boya mic with Sony A6400... Ans I do not know why ?!

I use the NTG and I can’t say enough good things about it!!!
Of I gained 98 subscribers on my first edited vide in 6 days is that's good
Same!
I'm just looking at microphones now, the NTG looks like a solid choice, thanks for the comparison

Amazing video! Keep it up. Notification gang.
i normally use the RODE video micro mic , for making the photo editing tutorials , this NTG mic would be a game changer

Thank you so much for starting the video with the answer. Then explaining why. It’s frustrating when reviews don’t cut to the point.
Thanks a lot! It's always a problem with figuring out which Mic to use! Great content!!!!
Will use these mics for vlogging and interviews
Great video but i cant stand the awful red back light though
I am using the rode video mic pro (not the pro one) and it's amazing, I am sure these are even better but way more expensive... would recommend the one I'm using since it's cheaper and does the job well...
Just starting out and got the Rode video ntg as part of a vloging set. it's well worth the money.
I have a M50 with videomicro, do you think it’ll be a significant upgrade if I buy the NTG? Also do I just plug it straight into the camera or should I get a preamp/mixer/audio interface?
Yes
You plug it straight in
Deity VMic D3 and D3Pro for on camera work while the SMic 2s for studio work. They all offer great sound and value for money.
I agree. NTG sounds better. 30 hours of battery life is more than enough. If you film for over 24 hours at a time.... you might have an issue 🤣
I was literally thinking about this last night.
Hahah, amazing!
I have the M50 with a 11-22mm lens for the rode videomic pro plus. such a great combo for sit down videos and vlogging.
Which microphone is best for Mobile phones?? To use ??
Everyone: 299$ Mic is not good as 249$ Mic
Me: 25$ Mic is better than nothing
Indeed...Agreed...Action is What Counts
Used the go....it is a great mic, but lately Been using the rode video mic Go. Wireless.
$200, but worth every penny.
Is this still your preferred mic?

You can’t use the videomic pro+ as a macbook microphone??
Thank you for the comparison. Is either of these mics god for recording 2 people talking, like in an interview?
I like the Takstar or the Boya Lav. While these are better the price is crazy in comparison to the quality you get.
Trying to get in to vlogging and also some studio shooting! This would be perfect for what I need.
I need it! great advice to improve my channel
For videos I use a blue yeti as I'm desk based, but I might grab the NTG for when I start doing stuff that isn't! Great video!
No Doubt 😀👍
Great mic . We will keep using it and make even more amazing videos

How?
Thanks!
To be honest having been on RUclips for half a year and now uploading every single day for a while I found that for me personally lavalier mics work waaay better than shortgun...any thoughts on this?

Question! :)
Won't the NTG mic get overcharged if used as a USB Mic in a laptop or desktop?
Thanks for answering!
I just ordered the Deity D3 . Heard great things.
I got a D3 Pro recently. It's fantastic.
Great choice, I have the D3, D3Pro and SMic2s.
NTG won out for me. That USB-C and gain controls are awesome
The NTG is actually more expensive (now) than the Pro+ in Australia :(
I think NTG is better😍👌🏻

For my vlogging I use the Movo VXR10 for vlogging and the audio technica at2020 for normal talking head videos.
Nice!! Do you like that Audio Technica Mic?
Nolan Molt it’s amazing!
What about a boya... I use it in my vlogs and it is awesome
I will love to order two for my channel
Hey I'm doing a basketball RUclips channel should I use the ntg for it?
Good review !
What clip are you using to have the NTG on the right side to still be able to use the flip up screen? Great video by the way!
I think the Ntg sounds better. It sounds fuller, you could heard the whole voice, whereas the Pro Plus sounded more muffled.
Everything that I could have expected very good
I'm a newbie creator, so I have a cheap $30 microphone from amazon that I used on my canon m50 but when I level up I am def upgrading to the Rode
Awesome!
Great video I like the sound of the NTG better - how did you extend the cable in your set up Thanks
how much cost ?
Great great comparison. Thank you sir !

Your room is too sound reflective for a mic comparison IMO.
Should have had a damper around the mic to lower the reflection.
I it was perfect , I have a crappy recording room too so I wanted to see which one would be better !
I have been trying to grow my little channel and learn all the tips! I am only 11 subs away from 250, and can not wait!
