Happy with the Rode NTG2 Shotgun Mic and have already tested it both indoor and outdoor and I'm so impressed with the results. Great sound! And the fact that I can use an AA battery for the phantom power gives it a versatility I can't get with many other mics.

This stuff is all pretty new to me. This semester I’m learning about sound so I decided to give this product a shot. Honestly its really great quality and the bundle has everything you need; at least for a beginner like me. I recommend it if you don’t know much about microphones and need equipment; I think it was a great deal. Also is very true to the pictures.

Awesome mic. I work with video and that is just what I needed for interviews without having to mic each person individually.

Have worked with several other shotgun microphones and the Rode NTG 2 had exceptional clarity. I have the microphone mounted on an E-Image boom and a Rode Transmitter. For dramatic and mild action scenes it delivered excellent quality audio and separation from unwanted frequency hum.

NTG-2 is well known for being a quality mic at a great price. This kit is a good way to go with included boom pole and deadcat.

I paired this microphone with my C100 for a wedding recently. Even though it was in the back of the church, I was able to pick up the officiant, along with ambient crowd noises. I also use this when I make my short films at home. I chose this mic over the others because I love the Røde brand and it's quality. Also, I couldn't afford the NTG-3. For the price, you can't beat the audio and build quality!

Terrific combo perfect for basic outdoor shotgun work on docs/shorts/indie features. My only complaint is that its a little bit 'plastic'. But as long as its being transported carefully it performs as it should. - would be great if Rode made a canvas bag for it

Great mic. Price is a little steep, but this mic is great for indoor and outdoor use. With a dead cat it is pretty much noise free outdoors.

I gave it a three star "Meh" rating because the kit did not contain a short XLR cord to attach mic to the camera, just a 20" monster you can't drag around easily. It comes with a camera mount, so why no cord?

I like this for dialog when I am filming a movie. I use it mainly with a Rode Boom pole. Good sound, well made and very directional. I like that I can use it with phantom power or batteries.

if you need a boom and there is humming in the room...call in, sweeps out unwanted sound like a broom

I shot a video, used this shotgun mic right over our heads, didn't really pick up that much sound.

Best Shotgun Microphone for the Money

When capturing crystal-clear audio is paramount, the Rode NTG-2 Dual Powered Directional Condenser Microphone with Deluxe Boom Kit stands out as an exceptional tool for professionals in the film, video, television, and production industries. This high-caliber shotgun microphone is engineered to deliver a full frequency response across 20Hz to 20kHz, ensuring that every nuance of sound is faithfully reproduced. Its superior low noise characteristics and audio transparency make it an indispensable asset for recording pristine film audio, video soundtracks, and voiceovers.
Weighing in at just 5.7 oz (161g) without the battery, the NTG-2 is designed for ease of handling and mobility, making it the perfect choice for use with a boom setup. The microphone's selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is a strategic feature that effectively eliminates distracting low-frequency sounds like air conditioners and traffic, resulting in cleaner, more focused recordings.
Versatility is at the heart of the NTG-2's design. It can be powered by a standard AA (1.5V) battery, offering flexibility for on-the-go shooting, especially in situations where cameras or recording devices do not provide phantom power. Alternatively, for enhanced reliability and extended use, the microphone can be powered by P48 phantom power supplied by professional cameras, audio recorders, and power supplies.
Included with the NTG-2 is the WSVM windshield, which provides essential protection against light wind noise and vocal plosives, preserving the integrity of your recordings. For those recording in more challenging outdoor environments, the optional 'DeadCat' furry windshield (sold separately) is highly recommended to further mitigate wind interference.
Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia, the Rode NTG-2 shotgun microphone is a testament to Rode's commitment to quality and innovation. It comes with Rode's industry-leading 10-year warranty, underscoring the brand's confidence in its product's durability and performance.
