Rode Videomic NTG vs Pro Plus: Which is the Best Mic for You?

Which Rode Videomic is right for you? This video compares the Videomic NTG against the Pro Plus and explains why after three years of using the Plus, I've come to personally prefer the NTG.

•Videomic NTG

This video is not sponsored, but I checked the "paid promotion" option since Rode did send me the mic for free last Fall. It was sent as a gift with no commitment or expectation to make a video. I've just been using it since then and really like it. So if you saw that pop up and were wondering why, that's why. 👍
