Rode NTG2 Shotgun Microphone
Capture quality sound indoors or outside for your next indie film, TV shoot, or documentary project with the Rode NTG2 shotgun microphone. With low handling noise, the ability to endure loud sound sources before distortion, and support for battery or phantom power, the NTG2 offers a versatile, cost-effective solution for recording clean dialogue and sound effects.
The NTG2's elevated sensitivity allows it to produce strong output levels without having to apply extreme gain at your mic preamp. Sonically, the NTG2 delivers consistently clear sound due in part to its gentle rise in high frequencies and its rumble-reducing selectable low-cut filter. The durable and lightweight high-grade aluminum housing is finished in hard-wearing epoxy paint to withstand the stress of location recording.
Quality Sound Capture
The combination of the NTG2's 11" long body and supercardioid polar pattern yields focused front-facing directionality and enhanced attenuation of sound entering from the sides. Its low self-noise of 18 dBA and sensitive condenser element communicate detailed audio unburdened by the hiss that plagues many low-cost microphones. Plus, its balanced output allows longer cable runs than most camera-mount shotgun microphones.
Battery or Phantom Powered
Thanks to its 3-pin XLR output and operability with 48V phantom power or a single AA battery, the NTG2 is compatible with a variety of handheld audio recorders, field recorders, and mixer adapters as well as built-in preamps on cameras and camcorders.
Ideal for Boompole Mounting
The NTG2 includes a mic clip for easy placement on a mic stand or boompole. Alternatively, mount the NTG2 in the Rode SM4-R shockmount or Rode PG2-R pistol grip (both available separately) to impede the transfer of vibrations in boompole or handheld applications.
Windscreen Minimizes Wind Noise
The NTG2 has a foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. For maximum reduction of handling noise and wind noise in indoor or outdoor environments, consider the Rode Blimp furry windshield and shockmount suspension system (available separately).

Opinions about Rode NTG2 Shotgun Microphone

Pros
Price, you can stick the battery and connect directly to the camera
Minuses
The microphone is very quiet, it requires a lot of amplification
Review
The microphone gives out a terribly weak signal. The result is a very large signal reinforcement. When recording on Zoom H5, to obtain at least some distinguishable sound, you have to twist the handle almost to the maximum, as a result, there are a lot of its own noise of the recorder, which are not always able to clean the post processing without loss of the quality of the main signal. When recording on more expensive records with less noisy preamples, the situation is better, but still quite unpleasant. I plan to buy a preliminary preaching to it with a phantom. I hope this will help.
In any case, this microphone can only be used very close. Either speak directly into it, or only with a very large plan, putting the microphone right abroad, no more than 30-40 cm from the mouth.
