I got the NTG3 for a Canon XF100 I use for my YouTube channel and it's easily one of the best microphones I've ever used. Period.
Audio recording quality is fantastic. There's literally zero static that comes from this thing, which you unfortunately get from cheaper shotgun mics. If you've ever used a decent condenser microphone, you'll know that you get that nice, deep, smooth audio. That's what you get with the NTG3. The sound is so nice you can literally even use this microphone as an interview or podcasting microphone. It's very versatile. Directionality is great as well. When used at a public place it does a great job reducing background audio, which is super useful if you cover events and a handheld microphone is a no go.
Construction quality is phenomenal. The entire unit is made of metal and feels like it'd last a lifetime if properly taken care of. It also comes with a felt lined carrier case as well as a metal tube case if you're doing a lot of traveling where the microphone may get damaged.
The only drawback IMO is that it lacks a shockmount. For $700 you'd expect RODE to include their SM3 or something, but no. You don't get one. Then again, the type of people who buy this probably already have a couple shockmounts...

(Video Review) Very directional mic with its own internal battery
This shotgun mic does a very good job picking up the sound of whatever it is pointing at. It also blocks out the ambient noise from the wind or other noisy environments. I did a video review where I pointed the mic at different sound sources so you can hear noise sources (such as a fan) pick up and drop off very sharply as the mic points at it.The NTG4+ also comes with an internal battery source that lasts forever! It lasts for over 60 hours! This makes the NTG4+ a lot more versatile for using it on the go with my cell phone or DSLR setups.Note that this is an XLR mic. If you want to use it for a cell phone or a DSLR, you don't need to purchase any expensive battery / power packs for it! Just find an XLR to stereo adapter that works for your device. Unfortunately, those adapters will be hit or miss depending on your device. A lot of phones have different ordering for their stereo plugs, so the adapter might not match up the cell phone's mic plug.Seen in the video are some items that do not come with the mic. I got them separately (shock mount, hot shoe to 5/8" adapter, XLR to stereo adapter).

Pictures were taken as soon as I opened up the package.
Dirty Rode NTG3 original box, dirty and heavily used mic, missing carrying metal tube cap, broken zipper handle on the carrying pouch, knife or some kind of sharp object engraved number right on the mic itself lol.....
Just speechless and breathtaking.
