I did a sound comparison video of these two not long ago on my channel ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rhN_lwf_dKo.html ) ... it's was close call. I think the NTG is a little better 🤔.

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.

@powerofwordswithrenars 4 года назад

Thanks a lot! It's always a problem with figuring out which Mic to use! Great content!!!!

@testing1two547 4 года назад

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.

@cjpreyes 3 года назад

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?

@austinbrady 2 года назад

@iancraig 4 года назад

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.

@rodemic 4 года назад

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!

@TheTravelingLarsons 4 года назад

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'm sure most people know all this already, I'm such a beginner that I have no clue what the mic looks like at a standard setting! Why is it so hard to find this info!? I'll keep trying everything until i figure it out. Thanks for the help!

@peacefulpigeon7254 4 года назад

Great video I like the sound of the NTG better - how did you extend the cable in your set up Thanks

@7ombische 4 года назад

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.

@REMY.C. 3 года назад

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.

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!

We've been having some sound issues related to the mic we've been using, so this video was extremely helpful. Thank you!

@BrianSchwartz 4 года назад

Interesting. I have the Pro Plus. I have been playing around with different mic set ups for video conferencing. I didn't like the Pro Plus because I would need an extra plug to keep it charged, and I didn't want the extra step of removing it from the stand to charge. In my space, booming a mic isn't a good fit. I am going to try the Rode Reporter mic because the pattern might make it easier to place. Someone suggested a lav. I might try that too, but that would be on camera.

@kentvandervelden 3 года назад

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.

I have the Rode Video NTG.. I dig it a lot. 30hrs is more than enough.. The pro plus is a great mic.. but the NTG is awesome & gets the job done well.

This is off subject, but I have a camera question. I started a RU-vid 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.

@sergiosala 4 года назад

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?

@Familyandmuscle 4 года назад

same

@nolanmolt 4 года назад

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?

@rodemic 4 года назад

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!

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.

@BeekeepingFromScratch 4 года назад

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 !!!!
