Q: 3. How long does a single AA battery last in the mic?

A: While there isn't a published run time for AA, as they vary too much and also depend on the chemistry of the battery, on average you can expect around 50 hours (+/-)

Q: 4. will this work well as a boom mic or the Rode NTG 2 for short films. I use zoom h5 or at times the h1.

A: yeah, totally, We use it like a boom mic in several works

Q: 5. Does the NTG-2 have a db pad? Like a -10db switch?

A: No, the RODE NTG2 Shotgun Microphone does not have a -10 dB pad, but it does have a switchable high-pass filter set at 80 Hz which can be used to remove low frequency noise that is not part of your intended source.

Q: 6. what is the difference between this and the rde videomic pro

A: The Rode VideoMic Pro is designed as a compact camera mountable solution. Generally used with DSLR or smaller camcorders. Both offer great sound quality, however since directionality of the pickup is related to the length of the mic tube, the NTG-2 offers a more narrow pickup and more effective at rejecting surrounding ambience.

Q: 7. Will this work well for picking up actors' lines for a live theatre event?

A: The Rode NTG2 Shotgun Microphone is highly directional, meaning it will pick up what it is pointed at in a range of 2-3 feet, but not much else. Unless the actors are stationary or there is an operator that will move this mic along with the actors as they move, I would not recommend using the NTG2 for this purpose.

Q: 8. How do I know if the mic is on?

A: As soon as you put the battery in then it's turned on. You'll need to monitor it some how, either with headphones or some kind of battery level display. I always take the battery out after i'm done using the mic for a day because if not it will just drain the battery dead in storage because it's always on. What I do is I hook the mic up to my zoom H1. You just need a small XLR to 1/8th input and then you're able to monitor the levels with headphones attached to the zoom H1. I hope this helps.

Q: 9. Can I leave the AA battery in or do I need to remove it when I'm done recording?

A: You can leave a AA battery inside of the RODE NTG2 Shotgun Microphone as long as you will be using the mic again within a few days. Otherwise, it is always best to remove the battery from an electronic device that will not be used for a while in order to prevent damage from problems caused by the battery leaking.

Q: 10. Can this be connected directly into my Sony 7RII?

A: This battery-operated shotgun mic can connect directly to the Sony a7RII camera's 3.5mm mic input jack, with the included LMT-100 adapter cable.
