Rode NTG8 Langes Richtrohr Kondensatormikrofon

The 56cm length really lets me get clean dialogue from across a busy room, and the RF bias design handles interference from our wireless gear without any added noise. I’m impressed by how natural voices sound compared to my previous short shotgun mics.

The high-frequency condenser capsule picks up dialogue with stunning clarity, even from across a noisy room. The 56 cm length takes some getting used to on a boom, but the reach it gives you for film work is absolutely worth the extra care handling it.

I was worried about the 56 cm length being awkward for run-and-gun shoots, but the high-frequency tech actually makes dialogue pop without handling noise being a distraction.
