Rode $1 mic special
Anyone taking advantage of Rode's $1 mic deal thru august? with a qualified purchase, you can get a Rode M1, M2 or M3 for $1. I'm looking to get a NTG-1 so this would be a good deal for me.
Anyone using the M series for weddings? |

I've already got a UHF lapel system and the AT 897 shotgun, but it might be nice to get either a true directional mic for on-cam or a mic for on set recording (via boom pole) or a mic for VO work in a more controlled area. |
I wish the M-series mics were included as qualifying mics...I'd love a stereo pair of M3's!
|
The M-series IS included. I bought myself two M3's when they first came out and I am very satisfied with them. I use them mainly for shooting orchestra's and place them in the A-B position above and pointing to the orchestra. This gives me very good sound recordings with a proper balance of direct and indirect/ambient sound.

And thanks to the exchange rate, one Aussie dollar will only cost you a mere 82 US cents. Better value than ever!

The question for me is do I get a matching NTG2 mic to go along with the NTG2 mic that I already have. Or do I pickup a large diaphragm NT1-A for voice over use. This is my current audio setup. Mics: Rode NTG2: One Rode NT5: Matched Pair Rode NT3: One Rode M3: One Shure SM57: Matched Pair AT822: One Recorders: Edirol R44 Zoom H4n Marantz PMD620 Zoom H2 So what say everyone. Would a large diaphragm mic be beneficial for me, or is getting a redundant shotgun mic the way to go. BTW, I shoot with 3 FX1 cameras normally, but only have need for the shotgun on one camera with wireless. The remainder of my audio is normally recorded using mics to my Edirol R44, Zoom H4n. I also use the onboard mics and line inputs for recording with my Zoom H2 and Marantz PMD620. |
Myself, I'm going to get the Podcaster for V/O usage, and claim an M3 which is a good general mic for all sorts of usage.
[Just got off the phone with a guy from Rode in Australia. The promotion has been going very well and has done a great job of getting the M series of mics launched and on the map. They've had lots of good feedback, so to speak.] Andrew |
i am looking at getting an NTG-2 but keen on opinions about it from fellow wedding videographers. Currently iam using the onboard mic on the xh-a1. May pickup the M3 with the coupon to supplement the NTG-2.
