RODE just announced their newest member of the VideoMic series of microphones with the VideoMic NTG. This is a fairly substantial step forward for the series for a few reasons from my perspective:

• Can be removed from shockmount, mounted on camera, or on a boom pole

• USB microphone

• TRRS cable auto detects and configures itself to the device to which it is connected

• Uses the new annular tube design of the NTG5

The mic also carries forward many of the features of the VideoMic Pro+ such as safety track recording and auto on/off.

Some might say, “Hmm, looks a lot like a DEITY D3 Pro plus a USB mic feature…,” and I agree. Looking forward to getting my hands on this to see how well it compares to the D3 Pro. You can place a pre-order over at B&H Photo.
