Rode NTG-1 Shotgun Condenser Microphone

This is the third NTG1 that I've bought. All my broadcast cameras now have one of these on board. Great value, quality and I know that I'm supporting an Australian manufacturer.

I have bought two of these for use by film students. The price/performance ratio is excellent. These NTG-1 models have substantially quieter noise floors than the later NTG-3, or the similar Sennheiser MKE600 mics. I will probably buy more if they are still available.

I initially bought this mic to use for movies and documentaries. I think it works very well as a close-up to short mid-range shotgun mic. I am also intending to use this to get ambient and environmental sounds for background audio. It works well!The sound is very neutral, and honest! It does exactly what its supposed to do.

Love this mic for recording. Works great on a boom or shoe mounted. Love the quality of the mic and of the sound I get out of it.

The Rode NTG1 is an epic mic. I am no professional but use this mic for all my camcorder needs. Very light weight, supreme sensitivity and crystal clear recordings! It came in a very nice zippered pouch with a foam cover and a free Dead Cat cover to boot! Very Pleased!
