To better serve my clients I have added a 2nd high quality shotgun microphone to my kit the Rode NTG-3.  This microphone was chosen due to its robust construction, high resistance to RF interference and ability to operate in high humidity conditions.

As always having the best and most up to date gear is our number one prioirty. I will post a review of the RODE NTG-3 after using it. Below is what RODE Says about the NTG-3:

The NTG-3 is the result of years of research and development by RODE engineers, providing broadcast and film professionals with an affordable yet uncompromising microphone.

RODE uses a technology known as RF-bias to create an almost completely moisture resistant microphone. In addition to capturing flawless audio in normal environments, the NTG-3 is ideal for those projects involving humid climates where condensation is an issue.

At 5.75 ounces, the NTG-3 is very lightweight and also boasts extremely low handling and self-noise (13dBA). Included with the microphone is a weather resistant aluminum storage cylinder for protection when traveling.

Rode offers a 10 year warranty on this microphone when registered on the Rode website.
