Rode NTG-3 Condenser Shotgun Mic (Nickel)

This mic is BRAND NEW! Here's the boilerplate info... Built for any environment: Using a technology known as RF-bias, the Rode NTG-3 is almost completely resistant to moisture, making it ideal for recording in any demanding environments where condensation is an issue. Be it in a tropical rainforest, arid desert, or sub-zero snowstorm, the NTG-3 can be relied on to faithfully record audio where traditional condenser microphones would fail. Lightweight, low-noise: In addition to its robust properties, the NTG-3 combines very low weight (163g), a durable anti-glare finish, and incredibly low handling and self-noise (13dBA) to become RODE's premier A/V microphone. **Every rental from Studio 44 includes a friendly tutorial to confirm you are comfortable with the gear :)

I rented a shotgun mic and boom from Studio 44... the pick-up and drop-off was very easy and the gear worked perfectly! Thanks so much! 5 stars.
