RODE NTG4+ Shotgun Microphone

Plugged it into my USB port to charge and was surprised how quickly it was ready to go. The long battery life is a huge relief for field recording, and the audio clarity is exactly what I needed for my dialogue work.

The built-in battery lasting about 150 hours is a game changer for me—I’ve done three full days of field recording without even glancing at a charger. The USB charging is so convenient, I just top it off between takes and never worry about dead cells mid-shoot.

Plugged it into my laptop to charge and was surprised it lasted through two full weekends of outdoor shoots without needing a recharge. The USB charging is a lifesaver for field work—no more hunting for batteries mid-interview.
