NTG2 : Great for overheads for video production

I bought this for video production. You cannot really compare the inbuilt microphones of video cameras to microphones of this quality.

It comes with a nice windshield, which even in doors I think I will keep on as it keeps the dust off and doesn't really affect the sensitivity that much.

I can quite happily pick up speech audio at 1 to 2 metres in a non-reflective environment without too much noise and maintaining a good clarity in the sound.

It is built like a tank with an all metal construction, but is very light weight. I purchased a 3rd party holder for the video camera as the Rode video adapter holder is well overpriced.

I have not yet tried this microphone out on some acoustic instruments so I cannot say if covers this adequately. But for what I want i.e, spoken voice it covers my need 100%. I managed to grab this when it was on offer so I am even more happy with the purchase.

Highly recommended
