Best On Camera Shotgun Mics | 2021 Review

[@dreamfactorystudioit]

This is one of the best comparison I've found. In my opinion the best quality/price is definitely the sennheiser mke 200

[@scottw6960]

Great video! Thanks for the info

[@CampCrystalLake]

Really comprehensive comparison of these various mics. Good coverage of the most relevant points. Thank you for posting this! To my ears the Videomic NTG sounded the best.

[@DonMuzembe]

Thanks buddy, big help on my new investment options

[@ScientificgraphicsGh]

Which one is best like the range of 200mm.. for shooting series

[@huadongfilm]

the rode videomic pro plus has safety track as well

[@achraf9946]

The Rode sounds a lot better than the MKE 200. The MKE sounds similar to the inbuilt mic. Even the shake test is a lot better in imo.

[@garethllewellyn4728]

Absolutely! The MKE sounds tinny too!

We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?

[@kifley19]

Whats a good mic for wedding parties where the music will be loud?

[@VideoGizmology]

If you want to get testimonials, I've used a Rode Reporter Mic and it worked well.

Thanks, very helpful :) I am looking for a better solution than what I have right now

Ntg gas compatibility issues with panasonic cameras. They addressed it in their latest firmware update but still no luck

[@ninjacaptor]

What about the Deity That just came out

[@ExploringDarknessGhostM6edia]

Love the review....BUT !!! 🤪 Slow down a little there's no fire are is there ?

[@SamW604]

Great review. The Rode mics are too bass heavy. They all emphasize the lower frequencies too much. They should be more neutral. The Sennheiser 400 sounds very neutral. Despite being the oldest mic in your roundup, IMO the Sennheiser 400 sounded the most neutral and natural. The Shure VP83 emphasized bass less than the Rode mics and more than the Sennheiser 400, but it's not as neutral and natural as the Sennehsier 400. IMO the Sennheiser 400 wins your test.

Why is the use of a microphone for recording in nature not discussed when using the microphone in this environment? Many of us users do not film videos indoors :

[@VideoGizmology]

Sorry Svabo, I can't please everyone's needs with my opinions in this review. I use these mics indoors, so that's why I'm addressing my experience with the mics indoors. I'm sure you can find other people using these mics in the outdoor situations you use them, KZbin has a lot of videos to choose from. Cheers.

Rode mic sounds more muddy. Personally I prefer the Sennheiser mics which sound more natural. Rode Mics sound like they've had Bass/Treble boost with compression.

[@JustMamba]

It sounds a proximity effect, pretty much how studio condensers sound when you are to close. If you were a little further it wouldn't sound so bassy

[@Matthew_Raymond]

There’s a new version of the MKE 400 that’s more like it’s little brother, the MKE 200.
