It is compatible with most field recorders, camcorders, cinema cameras, and mixer adapters that provide standard phantom power. **Is the Rode NTG1 suitable for outdoor filming?** Yes. The NTG1 is built for both indoor and outdoor use. It comes with a foam windscreen to reduce wind noise from breezes and HVAC systems, and its durable epoxy-painted aluminum housing withstands the demands of location recording. For maximum wind and handling noise rejection outdoors, Rode also recommends the separately available Blimp furry windshield system. **What is the self-noise level of the Rode NTG1 and why does it matter?** The NTG1 has a self-noise level of 18 dBA, which is very low for a shotgun microphone in its price class. A lower self-noise means the microphone introduces less background hiss into your recordings, resulting in cleaner dialogue and sound effects with less noise reduction needed in post-production.
