Bundled for broadcast-grade vlogging, podcasting, and live streaming straight to your computer, this B&H Kit features the Rode VideoMic NTG shotgun microphone, a mini tripod with a thread adapter, a deluxe furry windshield, and a USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable. Connected to your computer, the VideoMic NTG serves as a highly directional, low-noise digital microphone that works not only with your favorite audio software, but also with the Rode Connect app, which unlocks powerful functionality and sound-enhancing processing such as compression, gating, and more.
The Rode VideoMic NTG gives video content creators, run-and-gun filmmakers, voiceover artists, and podcasters the sound of the highly regarded NTG shotguns in a convenient camera-mount mic that requires no additional adapters to work with cameras, smartphones, tablets, portable recorders, and USB-equipped computers.
With focused directivity, continuously variable gain, digitally switched tone controls, and an internal USB-rechargeable battery, the VideoMic NTG provides transparent sonic performance and immensely flexible functionality. Thanks to its aerospace-grade aluminum housing, the VideoMic NTG is durable, compact, and lightweight, making it equally at home atop a camera or on a boompole.
The auto-sensing 3.5mm TRRS output and included TRRS cable ensure compatibility with cameras, portable recorders, mobile devices, and computers—no adapters required. A peak warning light, a -20 dB pad, and the selectable -20 dB safety channel help you easily avoid distortion in your recordings. When used as a USB microphone, the 3.5mm jack functions as a stereo headphone output for real-time monitoring of your signal.
Thanks to firmware version 2.0, the VideoMic NTG is now MFi-certified for use with Lightning-equipped Apple iOS mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, and iPod) when paired with the Rode SC15 USB Type-C to Lightning accessory cable.
- Headphone monitoring with complete volume control using the variable output knob
- Two-way audio transmission for making video calls
- Access to the safety channel, which creates a second output at -20 dB in case the main channel distorts
- High-quality 24-bit / 48 kHz digital audio conversion
The PIXI Mini Table Top Tripod from Manfrotto doubles as a tabletop tripod and a handheld grip support for a DSLR, point and shoot, or compact camcorder. The legs are rounded on their outer side, so the closed tripod provides a comfortable hand grip. When open, the tripod and head have a maximum height of 5.3". Rubber feet prevent slipping and protect delicate surfaces.
Fabricated from stainless steel and black Adapto polymer, the PIXI supports up to 2.2 lb while weighing only 6.7 oz. Its built-in ball head has a 1/4"-20 camera screw and a unique design that allows adjustments and locking with a single push button.
This version of the PIXI is made in Italy, the home of Manfrotto.
The Impact Female 1/4"-20 to Male 3/8"-16 Thread Adapter features a 1/4"-20 female thread on one side, and a 3/8"-16 male thread on the other side.
Ensure clean transfers from your mic with the 5' USB 2.0 Type-A Male to Type-C Male Cable from Rode. Featuring a USB Type-A host connection, this USB 2.0 cable connects to compatible Type-C devices. Measuring 5' long, it uses a shielded design to protect against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. This cable is compatible with USB Type-C Rode devices, including the Wireless GO, NT-USB Mini, RODECaster Pro, VideoMic NTG, and AI-1.
