Rode VideoMic NTG

I spent several days doing my own research about the microphone and all that led to was more confusion. I made one phone call to Thomann, had a chat about the room I would use it in and what for and they recommended this mic. It's really good and I don't need to be really close up to it so I get the flexibility of moving around whilst presenting. It also misses out all the background noises of having a studio close to a main road and there is no echo despite it being in a converted garage. I'm thrilled with the mic and the support I was given to chose it.

Sounds far better than expected for this price. Incredibly versatile. The gain control on the back makes it super-easy to trim to any DSLR/Mirrorless camera input. Going back to versatility, an ideal travel mic when you need to pack light. Excellent USB-C connectivity for direct use with many devices. Off-axis rejection is very good, output and sensitivity is high. Only downside is it does not handle extremely high sound pressure levels before clipping. Otherwise - perfect for what it is.

I use this mic in-between my iOS and macOS devices as well as with the Sigma fp. I love it and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a multi-purpose one-in-all solution!

Best mic for camera, packed with features. Sound is good.
