RØDENTG4+ Versatile Dual-powered Supercardioid Condenser Shotgun Microphone with Switchable High-frequency Boost, High-pass Filter and Pad for Location Recording, Foley and Voice Overs

After many issues with lapel/shirt mics failing due to their delicate size i took the plung with a shotgun mic and it's safe to say i will never be going back. The quality is extremely professional and due to the directional nature of the mic as long as it's close and pointed towards your speaking subject, it blocks out almost all background noise. If you want professional results on a budget then this is the perfect microphone for boom pole interviews both in inside and outside environments. The 120 hour battery, usb charging and 10 year guarantee is the best performance i've ever seen on a mic. The days of worrying about breaking micrphones or the battery running out on jobs are gone, now i can just focus on the job in hand without worry. True pro performance.

This shotgun microphone is very good. I don't think that for the money you can buy something better. 150 hours of phantom power thanks to a small internal battery (charging time about 2 hours) is a very nice thing. Quality of sound - very good. Yes, there are better shotgun mics (like Rode NTG-3 or Sennheiser shotgun mics, for instance) but they are much more expensive. The shotgun microphone is definitely worth the money, unless you prefer to spend less, because you like much noise in recorded sound.

You have to admire R0de. They found a pocket slightly below Sennheiser, and provided exceptional value in that bracket. The NTG4+ is no different. Is it quite as good as the top of the range? no. But it's also half the price, and definitely better than half the quality. Providing a solid midrange, but losing a tiny bit of detail in the highs is for my money perfectly acceptable, as your audience will never tell. For videography, field recordings, music sessions etc it's perfect. The rechargable battery giving fantastic versatility that means you don't need to be tied to phantom power all the time.

Purchased this microphone to record some audio for a video project. My favourite feature has to be the built in battery plugs straight into my zoom h5 and I don't need to worry about phantom power and makes my zoom batteries last longer.As will all microphones if you are attaching it to a boom pole as I have done handling noice gets transferred to the microphone if you do not use a a shock. With a shock mount sounds perfect. And 10 year rode warranty can't go wrong.

So upgrading my items and decided I needed a shotgun MicrophoneI like the look of this mic and RODE is a great companyI've used it a few times I like the features with pad and low cut on the MicrophoneIts a clear microphone and performs really well, at times it might have a little to high end and not enough low end however the sound has a great clarity to it and it works for me. The recording I've had with it and sent on have had no issues so over all its a great microphone, only 4 stars as clearly there is more expensive microphones out there with better reviews and quality but for me and depends how you look at this but for someone with a low-mid end budget its a great mic and will cover all your needs and might be the only microphone youll ever want or need. Comes with a nice litte array of goodies, nice Rode case whch is helpful, nice foam, wish it came with a dead cat but had to buy one seperate I bet some will come in a deal package if you look around but a great Microphone to last the time. Glad to have bought it

Others have posted in depth technical reviews of this mic (which helped me in deciding to buy it) so I'll leave the details to them. But I will say that look no further if you want quality above that of a NTG2 that will work without phantom power if required. The flexibility the internal battery provides is a godsend, and why I ultimately chose the NTG4 over the NTG2. On paper this sits in-between the NTG2 and 3 but I cannot find fault with the NTG4, and I will probably never push it to it's limits to find any. All I can do is add my voice to the choir of Rode lovers, as I cannot recommend this microphone highly enough!

I like the sound this thing recordsThe is some body and bass to it....I am rather pleased with the quality.I think anything cheaper would have been useless...I'm talking about NTG4... that one wouldn't cut it for meThis one does.

I received this item on the usual next day delivery. It worked until after it had been charged up, then nothing but flashing lights on it. I spoke to Amazon and they were brilliant they sent me an immediate replacement that I received the very next day. This one worked on receipt but again needed charging, this time I used the computer instead of a wall socket and charger, the same happened it wouldn't work after charging. By this stage I was furious. I sent Rode two emails which were not answered until over a day later. By this time I had spoken to Amazon who arranged for an immediate refund so that I could buy a Sennheiser SME 600 which was received the next day, this one worked perfectly. Rode did admit to me that they had a bad batch of batteries two years ago, I have seen emails on a forum ( jwsoundgroup.net ) from 2017 yes three years ago off someone asking for help with exactly the same fault I had. What chance have we got when they either can't or won't sort faults out in 3 years. No ifs, buts or excuses that is a disgrace and unforgivable. I will never buy from Rode again. There response was look warm at best. Throughout this Amazon were truly helpful, efficient and couldn't possibly have done more for me . Thank you Amazon
