    (Video Review) Very directional mic with its own internal battery

    (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).

    Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2023
    Paid $900 for this mic and came heavily used.
    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.
