Rode NTG-2

Great microphone and build quality for the price you a re paying. Easily can stand next to more expensive brands.

Very pleased with the performance of this mic, it has excellent focus to pickup centered sound and cuts the side noise very well. I use it for voice and place it about 12 - 18 inches from the talent, at about a 45 degree, pointing down to below the chin. This places the mic just out of the camera frame.

Really like this mic on the c200. Sound is clean and directional.

I bought theRode NTG2 Shotgun Microphone Kit and it came broken from the start, the volume is coming way lower than expected, terrible product!

I can only speak for my canon C100 Mark II but connected to that its perfect! Great sound and when user with the shock absorber its what you want for Run and Gun style shooting. Highly recommend
