With all the features set aside I feel the NTG sounds better compared to the ProPlus. It's cleaner, not as bass heavy making it better for EQ in post. Which sounds better to you?
I agree.... but when it comes to a woman's voice that's higher pitched and doesn't have a lot of low tones anyway.. should I ho for the NTG and punch out the already high tones or go with my existing Pro+ and try to add some depth in your expert opinion, please?
I’m not audiophile or expert in audio sound design but I would assume the NTG would still be a better starting point because of the more balance sound and EQ in post. Maybe someone with more skill set here couldn’t chime in.
Pro + user here. I really really like the NTG sound here. I use the Pro+ as a staged mic to pick up band music, use it for environmental sounds at the beach all with a wireless receiver. I never really liked the Pro + on my voice but maybe im biased because as I don't like my voice, haha but I think the NTG will fair better for voice applications. Thanks for the review!
Yeah I think the NTG for myself anyhow.. Seems more directional, the only minus being battery (Built in and life). Great vid matey. Both great mikes but it's as important NOT to hear certain sounds as it is to hear them clearly.. I think the NTG has that all important discrimination.. : )
Fun fact, The NTG does not work properly with the Lumix S5ii. It requires being on "Mic+ Power" setting in camera. After a week of conversations with Rode, they were kind enough to send me a ProPlus for testing purposes. Rode could not effectively put in any kind of ticket to do testing so they send me the ProPlus as a solution. ProPlus works awesome with no flaws on the Lumix S5ii. It was a very frustrating experience to figure out, but has to put in the work to effectively communicate to Rode with data that there is an issue. Side not: I do love the NTG, works amazing on my GH4/5. For whatever reason is not a clean experience with the S5ii
Thanks for your feedback and taking the time to check out the video. I hope to have given a good comparison for you. Best of luck on selecting your next mic.
MKE600 is a pro level mic using XLR vs 3.5mm. Different applications I would say not saying you can’t get pro level with 3.5mm because you totally can, length of run, etc.
I love my Rode mics! Can't really go wrong with any of them. You're doing a great job with your channel- keep it up! New sub👍🏼out here supporting growing channels like mine!
@@RickyCheung It definitely did! Going with the NTG! I had gotten the other, but am switching because it sounds way better in my opinion based on your video and examples. Great production, explanation, and video quality. I appreciate it and benefited from this video!
You’ll love the fact that it’s plug and play on any/most devices. I pulled my NTG off my camera plugged it into my MacBook for amazing voice over for social. One and done. The videomic pro+ sits in the draw. I still have it as a backup cause we never know. Good luck!
@@RickyCheung Sorry for another message Ricky, but I wanted to let you know that I just ordered a few things off of Amazon and made sure to order through your link. Thanks again for the video! Have a great rest of the week! 🙂✨🙏🏻
NTG I could tell immediately. What mic are you using to record the video? I'm trying to figure out a mic to buy to record my videos when I start making content. Some of the videos will be outside too, so I'm looking for a mic that will sound good outside
NTG is very neutral sounding which makes it great for all around. I use the MKE600 for CZcams and more commercial work with XLR recorder but for most the VideoMic NTG. Put a windshield on and you’ll be good for outdoors.
My goto on camera and now my setup for quick vids for social. ❤️ it.. I do wish the mic battery would last longer when left unused but no biggy for me.
@@RickyCheung Set the camera level to 1 and mic level to 10 for the best audio, when connected via 3.5 cable. Best sound I recorded was via USB with OBS software.
I do love the mke600 but after plugging in a recorder in/out to camera it’s just much at times. Simple is key as I try to do more. Thanks for contributing.
NTG super neutral sound mic offering alot of flexibility for post. Sweet to be able to plug into phone, straight into laptop and use it. It's awesome. Thanks for watching.

Great question, I’m still learning.
@@RickyCheung thank you so much! Love your work! 😁🙏
@@sakshinash what did you end up going with? I find the Pro+ with the high freq presence boost set is favorable for that voice type.

Thanks man!! Cheers!
I think for deeper voices the Pro + is a better option. Nice and warm but not “drowny”

Maybe a firmware from LUMIX.
Thanks for the feedback
Love to know which one would be better for a live Show like Comedy or Poetry Slams to get a nice sound of reactions of the audience. Any thoughts?
Thank you for such review❤️🔥
In your opinion, this microphone is suitable for shooting videos of street musicians?
Very helpful in my decision making process, Thank you Ricky!
Hope it was helpful. 😎
Great video I appreciate the comparison.

Not really sure... The pro has more to play with it after in post... is warmer and nicer to my ears... so not that sure about the comments
What is better with using a smartphone?? S23
thank you man, dope
The MKE 600 sounded better than both. Should I invest in that instead?

NTG sounds wider on the high frequencies.
Agreed.
Thank you! Great work!!!

NTG all the way.I own it and even in an untreated room, it delivers very good sound.

@@RickyCheungmke600 is a good shotgun mic, but the NTG has all the features that one needs.
@user-iq6dr2du2y 💯 if only one this would be it!
This is helpful, I think NTG was awesome!

Can these also be used to capture your voice via computer. Say for example you’re doing a screen recording and explaining what you’re doing?
With the rodeNTG yes via USB. It will work directly. With the ProPlus you need a cable or mixer.
Thank you for useful video
I had the NTG, it always had a hiss noise. Even after updates
Hmm. Did you turn down your in-camera gain. Usually in-camera preamps are not good and causes hiss noise
Yea trust me I tried that, even Rode sent me a new cord cause they couldn't figure it out too. @@RickyCheung
@@RickyCheungI could hear more self-noise from the NGT than the Pro+, in the clips you provided.
NTG, no brainer.
NTG my vote as well. I still have both but use the NTG way more as I learn to EQ better.
Ntg
I agree the VideoMic NTG sounds the most neutral in tune.
Why does my Sennheister MKE600 sound so much better than yours?
Do you EQ? I don’t but I know I should be.
