The NTG-3 competes head to head with the Sennheiser MKH-416 shotgun. While the 416 has been an industry standard for years, the $1199 price has kept many aspiring filmmakers at bay. With it’s aggressively focused pickup pattern and buttery smooth sound, the NTG-3 is poised to become the go to microphone for high definition shooters. You’ve got the hi-def picture, well here’s the hi-def sound. We tested the microphone both indoor and outdoor and were shocked at the results. Never before have we heard this caliber of sound for under $1000. Add a boom pole from one of our packages and you’re all set!
