Boom Mic for Dialogue NTG5 vs NTG2 Vs STC1

What is the best boom mic for dialogue? well, Got my hands on a Rode NTG5 for a day and I wanted to compare it with my Rode NTG2 and the wild card in the bunch, The Sontronics STC 1 with the Hyper cardioid capsule.

What boom mic sounds the best to you?

[@ringojoejoe]

seeing as i already own the STC1, the £50 capsule upgrade is a no-brainer. really classy mic for the price tbf.

[@MisterHenry]

@@ringojoejoe Definitely adds more versatility to the STC1. Great little mic.

[@SpencerSnyder]

Man, your videos really should have more views. Great work!

[@MisterHenry]

Thanks so much!

[@PiriyaSambandaraksa]

Wow, you seserve much much more views. Love the practical tests.

[@MisterHenry]

Thank you so much 😊

[@konstantinkrigorov7228]

Nice work, man! Just 6 from 5!

[@PatrickRambles]

Love my NTG 5!

[@MisterHenry]

I was really surprised by how good the NTG 5 sounds. I'm so used to hearing the NTG 2, I didn't realise what I was missing out on.

[@PatrickRambles]

@@MisterHenry Definitely a lovely mic. Like you, I don't have the bassiest voice, but the NTG 5 does a good job with it.

[@MisterHenry]

@@PatrickRambles Totally Agree! The polar pattern of the mic is really good too.

[@jofasho2kool]

Amazing video! I’m torn between the NTG2 and the NTG-5. Think I’m going to choose the NTG-2 for now. Maybe I’ll get the 5 when the price drops

[@MisterHenry]

I couldn’t believe how good the 5 sounds compared to the others. It’s worth the price in my humble opinion.

[@frubo_ssg]

My choose by quality: NTG5. By price: NTG2. Sontronics STC1-1 was far too harsh for my ears.

[@MisterHenry]

Agreed! Thanks for watching.

[@RandumbTech]

How does this video have only 322 views??! I'm getting over 500 views on many of my vids and my production quality absolutely sucks compared to something like this ! 🤣 Great comparison between the mics - I have a AT897 right now which is a line gradient shotgun microphone and I can't get it to sound good indoor or outdoor. Thinking about picking up the NTG5 and being done with my search.

[@MisterHenry]

Thanks for the kind works my friend. You won’t be disappointed with the NTG5, it’s a great all rounder. 👌

[@sdaservicetv]

HI Daniel, How has the Nyg5 held up and how have you been using it. I see a few persons have been having random noise issues with a few .... Thanks

[@MisterHenry]

Hi Sanctified Seed, can't say I've noticed any noise issues.

[@sdaservicetv]

@@MisterHenry thanks much.

[@danielolayiwola3746]

First person 😂👌

[@PatrickRambles]

That's it, you need to start a new channel..You clearly fell off the algorithm! Your videos are FAR too good to get these views.

[@MisterHenry]

I'm beginning to think the same. Hahahaha. Thanks so much for the kind words again as always Patrick.
