You should sharpen the Rode on the belt sander for best performance.

I have both mics, both sound great.

I have both and the NTG has ruined some of my audio for my short films because of a low max SPL of 120db and it distorts audio from loud signals even with the in -camera audio dropped to ony +1 and the Rode gains settings at only +2. I wind up getting the older Videomic Pro + and the audio recordings were so much improved with a higher max SPL of 133db. I see why the OG is still holds it value.

I quit using rode mics years ago cuz their Customer Service is absolute trash. Anything else rode im good with but their camera mics are not it. the only mic they have put out in the last 10 years that wasn't a headache was the PodMic.

Don't own the NTG but have the Rode VideoMic GO II. Sounds good via USB-C into my Mac, but the 3.5mm TRS output for cameras is prone to RFI-picks up a local radio station loud and clear. I didn't return it since it can be used via USB boomed over my Mac. But, yeah a disappointment. So I bought the MKE 600 and love the sound. Plus, it appears to be RFI resistant when in the hot shoe of my R6 MK II or jacked into my Zoom F3.

Rode packs a lot of features into their stuff which is great if it works. Im to the point now where I'll sacrifice a lot of features for reliability and build quality. 👍

Rode sounds better, Noise background isn't the error of Rode. You must have a hot temper, and don't know how to adjust the microphone. I'm using Rode Go II, perfect, I had background noise. set Airplane mode, no wireless.

Its the mic. Those mic gos dont have any adjustment whatsoever.

Rode has 10 year warranty on the internal battery…I think…you are right. Them sending you a new one then containing the return box and label would be the most convenient one…I would think maybe…a lot of Rode customers might have taken advantage of this process that is why the real ones having real problems are being affected…but you are right…it’s their problem…I was almost looking to pull the trigger on a video mic NTG…🎉

I don't feel like spending another 3 hours to return it again. Id rather just buy another one that works. 😂

There is another option to send it back if you don't have the time to drive to UPS. If you're impatient, then I can understand. I don't blame the frustration. I feel you on that. I think you may have had two faulty Rode Mic. I almost bought the Rode NTG but decided to go with the Sennheiser 600.

Yeah it's super frustrating for sure. Very happy with my mke600 though

Does the MKE 600 connect to iPhone?

@shottowerproductions283 2 ай бұрын

You can if you use a wireless system like the dji. Im sure theres a cable for it too.

Thanks! I too, almost pulled the trigger on Rode. Glad I didn’t… while I may have not had the same experience I’m convinced the MKE 600 is just all around a better deal. Thanks for your help!
