Rode NTG3 Supercardioid Shotgun Microphones

The NTG3 is a broadcast-grade shotgun microphone built around an RF-bias condenser design, the same technique used to make a mic shrug off humidity and moisture that would choke an ordinary condenser on a long shoot. Its tight supercardioid pattern reaches down a subject and rejects sound from the sides, delivering clean, present dialogue for film, television, and field production.

It runs on 48V phantom power over a standard XLR output and wears a satin-nickel finish. The kit ships with an RM5 mic clip, a windshield, a zip pouch, and an aluminium storage cylinder that keeps the mic protected between shoots.
