Our take on the RØDE VideoMic NTG
The RØDE VideoMic NTG is a shotgun mic with a 3.5mm auto-sensing output and USB-C, for streamers who move between camera, phone and PC. At a tracked $229.90 it sits at the bottom of a $229.90 to $239.40 range since August 9, 2026.
It works as a USB mic for a computer, tablet or phone, and the 3.5mm jack becomes a headphone output in that mode. Digital switching adds a high-pass filter, a -20dB pad, a high-frequency boost and a safety channel. The pickup is described as highly directional, so it favors what the camera faces. iPhone use needs an SC15 Lightning cable. Retailer rating is 4.4 across 1,407 ratings.
