The mic of choice when recording in any demanding environmental condition where condensation is an issue. With its durable construction, extremely low handling noise, and lightweight design, this is the mic you will grab wherever the job may take you. The NTG-3 Shotgun Microphone is the result of years of development by Rode engineers, providing the professional broadcast and film industries with an affordable yet uncompromising microphone. Using a technology known as RF-bias, the Rode NTG-3 is almost completely resistant to moisture, making the microphone an ideal option when recording in any demanding environments where condensation is an issue. In addition to its robust properties it combines very low weight (163g), a durable antiglare finish and incredibly low handling and self-noise (13dBA) to become Rode's premier A/V microphone. When not in use the NTG-3 microphone can be stored away in the included weather resistant aluminum storage cylinder, providing additional protection when traveling and storing the microphone.
