VideoMic NTG problems/alternatives.
I cannot get my wireless pros to pick up any sound from my NTG mic.
I think the problem is that the NTG never records audio to channel 1 in my cameras. This problem happened two weeks after I bought the NTG and had Rode's customer service replace the mic.
Literally halfway through the first shoot I had with the replacement mic, channel 1 stopped working again. I've been using it for the last few months just relying on channel two and splitting the stereo channel into dual mono channels and duplicating it.
I have several shoots coming up where I want to use the NTG as a wireless boom mic via the wireless go pro but it doesn't work.
Can anyone offer any troubleshooting to fix any of these issues? I like Rode - their products are great and so is their customer service - but after getting a product replaced once and it breaking in the same way instantly, I'm also looking for alternatives to the NTG. Small, high-quality, shotgun mic that works with the Rode Wireless GO and aux cables.
