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.

**A water-resistant aluminum storage cylinder, wind shield, pouch, and mic clip are included with the RODE NTG-3. This rental also includes a sturdy shock mount and K-Tek Avalon boom pole with internal XLR cable.

**Every rental from Studio 44 includes a friendly tutorial to confirm you are comfortable with the gear :)
