About a year ago RØDE released the VideoMic NTG a hybrid between its VideoMic consumer series of microphones and the professional NTG line. Previously, the VideoMic NTG was only compatible with Lightning-equipped iOS devices via the 3.5mm output. The VideoMic NTG features an auto-sensing 3.5mm output, so it works seamlessly with both cameras and smartphones.

To physically connect the microphone (USB-C) to an iOS device (Lightning connector) Røde offers the new Lightning Accessory Cable SC15. It’s 300mm long and features a junction box that slots into the VideoMic NTG shock mount cable management system, keeping the setup neat and tidy.
