I did a sound comparison video of these two not long ago on my channel ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJyCwc6wlsLKe9I.html ) ... it's was close call. I think the NTG is a little better 🤔.

just here to send you a big thank ! you've helped me so much with this channel to grow my very humble one. i've followed you step by step and it worked amazingly ! keep on the good job ! 👏

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

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.

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?

Thank you so much boss for your explanation 😍😍

Youre welcome!

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.

Thanks fir the detailed review! I now know which mic to get and hopefully improve my channel audio. Subscribed and keep up the good work

Yet another great upload!💯

Thank you for the review! I almost got the Rode VideoMic Pro+ so I'm grateful I saw this first. Both look awesome!

Great great comparison. Thank you sir !

I need it! great advice to improve my channel

LOVING this topic Think Media! Gratitude and keep rocking the conscious content from this new KZreadr who you've positively inspired to start my own channel 😊🙌🏼 Blessings ✨

Amazing video! Keep it up. Notification gang.

Thank you so much for sharing! I was having really hard time to choose which mic I should buy

Thank you so much for starting the video with the answer. Then explaining why. It’s frustrating when reviews don’t cut to the point.

Thanks. I’m learning what equipment I need when I upgrade from my cell phone

I'm just looking at microphones now, the NTG looks like a solid choice, thanks for the comparison

Great stuff as always.

Thank you so much i am looking for it

Thanks man, am gonna buy it right now, thanks for the descent review. peace

Think Media your always on point and your inspire me a lot

Good review !

Will use these mics for vlogging and interviews

what about run and gun travel shooting? does the NTG still hold up?

Nice video. I'm trying it today. Will do a review as well. Keep up the good work. Cheers

Hi! Amazing video, what settings better for plus pro use fur KZread vision am record at home

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.

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!

What clip are you using to have the NTG on the right side to still be able to use the flip up screen? Great video by the way!

Hey? Which extension cable should I use for my ntg to mount on my boom pole for my canon 90D? I got the rode VC1 10 inch cable but it keeps cutting out and I hear static. Which extension cable should I buy or what can I use to extend the cable?

Trying to get in to vlogging and also some studio shooting! This would be perfect for what I need.

Everything that I could have expected very good

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. When I plugged in this cable to my camera, it is very lose on my camera and becomes disconnected if I move camera slightly. Would you know if this is normal?

Great mic . We will keep using it and make even more amazing videos

i dont usually comment on your videos but im one of your regular viewers @Think Media Your channel helped me chose what camera to buy to start our vlogs. Continue sharing tips for us newbies. God bless you always.

For videos I use a blue yeti as I'm desk based, but I might grab the NTG for when I start doing stuff that isn't! Great video!

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

Sound such an issue on my first few vids . Got a camera but been using my phone, considering getting a Rode for both. What else are people using to film their first few vids on?

Just starting out and got the Rode video ntg as part of a vloging set. it's well worth the money.

i normally use the RODE video micro mic , for making the photo editing tutorials , this NTG mic would be a game changer

What audio level do you have on your sony camera? I have a a6500 and a rode pro compact mic and I'm picking up so much background noise! Not sure where that's coming from though because everything is the room is turned off! I'm so sad because it's an investment and doesn't seem to be working for me.

You were asking us to comment about what types of videos we post on our channels. Well, I post what i hope are fun and informative journeys in Bangkok, Thailand. Just getting started but got 15,000 views my first month....thanks in many ways to YOUR channel. Thanks Think Media!!

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 have a M50 with videomicro, do you think it’ll be a significant upgrade if I buy the NTG? Also do I just plug it straight into the camera or should I get a preamp/mixer/audio interface?

on the videomic pro 2011 version, today I just found that the hotshoe mount (one with 4 teeth at top) is loose. I can't figure out how it connects and doesn't look like there was glue there. Should there be a pin and nut to hold it?

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?

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

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!

Hi. I know you guys like the boya mics. I bought the by-bm3032 2 weeks ago and I am loving it. It is supposed to be the videomic pro plus equivalent. Did you had the chance to test it? I’d love to see a review on it. Thanks.

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.

negative 10 DB is more than enough, i recently shot a video using power tools and the negative 10 was very very quiet. i love my Video Mic Pro Plus... Also being Australian i love Australian Companies and Love Australian Made even more!

Love the video man. I am definitely buying that mic. Unrelated question. How do you make the background this red. Can you please link it in your answer. Thx

This is off subject, but I have a camera question. I started a KZread 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.

I liked this video because I didn't know my NTG Mic could move! Thanks! I'm having difficult figuring out what the symbols mean and the best way for me to format it for what I'm shooting. 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!

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.

Question! :) Won't the NTG mic get overcharged if used as a USB Mic in a laptop or desktop? Thanks for answering!

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.

Great comparison! Thanks for sharing 👊

Just got a Tonor microphone for my videos, what do you guys think of that microphone?

We’re starting vlogs and this will be super helpful. We How to grow big here with Zocca

Rad video, I shoot mountain bikes! Pretty torn between these two. I have been using a Video Stereo Mic X and love it but in louder environments i am picking up too much background noise, great mic none the less.

I am looking for all the necessary equipment for my son’s and I start our own KZread video, we open the channels few years ago, but haven’t film any video. He will be talking about sports and I may be doing makeup or talking about politics, music, lifestyle. Filming on the streets as well in the future. This video came on time, I was just searching on Amazon and stores.

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!

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.

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.

Can you do a comparison of Rode NGT1 and NGT5 and NGT3? Also a video about these microphones for KZread. I want to improve my mic and get one of those, would love to get the Rode NGT3!!

I just got the movo have yet to use it but the tests that i did sound good and more convenient then the lav mic

I am thinking about the NTG to live stream my band... do you think it’s a good choice. I would be placing in with the camera about 15-20 feet from the band (we need to spread out for social distancing purposes)

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 !!!!

It would work, but probably not the best. A shotgun mic more focuses in on one direction so you would be getting louder levels from whatever band member it is pointed at. The Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro would give you more of an accurate recording of what the room sounded like.
