Rode NTG4 Shotgun Microphone

The NTG4+ is the top dog for mics in this price range. Pair it with the 10 year warranty, and your $400 will go to WORK for you. This mic is a no-brainer for any videographer or filmmaker.

I have a mixed review here because I bought it in a kit with an Auray brand fur windshield. Do yourself a favor and buy a better windshield separately. This one turned out to be pretty useless at protecting against wind noise. The fur is very thin.

Pure gold. Rode makes awesome products. I'm no audio expert, but I'm really happy with the quality coming from this thing.

Tried it out on some Foley work Recorded a VW bug for engine sound for a 8mm film. worked great.

In my opinion, RODE has lost its crisp. I think this is the last RODE purchase i made. They claim very low noise level, but this mike is only acceptable noise-wise, but not the Real Pro. I understand the price range, but i expected something better compare number of China products like Saramonic...
