For years we were using a Sony ECM-672 however toward the end of 2018 we started to look at what else was out there. Naturally when you want to upgrade you need to do your research first, and of all the microphones that we looked into and all the sound recordists or videos producers out there that we talked to, the NGT-2 was the most highly recommended by far. The NGT-2 was recommended higher than the NGT-3, as there were many stories of faults with these microphones (a shame for their price tag). So we recently purchased a NGT-2 here at VideoGuys. Right away we could hear the difference. The Sony ECM-672 (even on low cut) gives out quite a defined hiss, however when we plugged in the NGT-2 this hiss virtually disappeared. The quality is very clean an rich, and that's just how it sounds through the headphones on location. We're confident that this microphone will be one of the best investments we have made in 2019 and the best thing is the unit is quite reasonably priced too! SO you get quite a lot for what you pay for - a true testament to Rode.

I use this mic primarily for interviews

Better quality sound for my canon xa20. But I prefer NTG-4. One day, I'll buy NTG-4 microphone for the next level.

Great service + only place that had them in stock, great service Thanks

I use the Rode NTG2 in conjunction with the Zoom H5 to record my ukulele playing and it always comes out great! able to pick up the highs and lows, of which a stringed instruments has such a range of.

Great microphone for interviews and event videography. The ability to use conventional AA batteries for power is fantastic as it saves your mixers/recorders battery life (For this reason I chose the NTG 2 over the NTG 3).

The NTG 2 is undoubtedly a great performing microphone for its price. Whilst being practically noiseless it reproduces voices in superb clarity. I use this microphone in conjunction with the Zoom H4n and the Zooms preamps just don't do this microphone justice.

If using outdoors definitely use a windshield such as the R?S6 as the included windshield is only ideal for the lightest of breezes.

Amazing mic vidio guys r the best pepol to bye stuff off always so relyabl ezy websit i bye off them more the lokaly to me that how good it is

I use this product often when I go out into the field by myself as a 'one-man-band' to conduct interviews and collect b-roll footage and soundbites for research and interest purposes. This is a professional shot-gun microphone that is lightweight, robust, tough and extremely versatile. This microphone is fit for almost any occasion, delivering clear, directed sound from the subject while sufficiently blocking out any unwanted noise. Works well mounted on a camera, in a pistol or on a boom pole. Being able to run on P48 phantom or 1.5V AA battery power is useful. Sensitive to touch so avoid any contact with the surface of the mic while operating is advised. Overall, a high-performance mic thats light, versatile and ready to fill the needs of any professional and semi-professional videographer.

Perfect for the beginner or the professional. The NTG-2 offers easy and quick set-up as well as a no hassle accessory attachment which is always handy on the go.

The small but robust feel only adds to the list of benefits, making it a microphone you know you can rely on.

Everything from cable attachment to shock mounting is just easy and you'll feel like you've definitely made the right purchase.

With a 10yr warranty from Rode, you'll know your NTG-2 will always be at your side.

It's awesome, what else can I say?
