Rode NTG4+ mic

Hi all.

I have not posted much at all to this forum, as am just an amateur hobbyist sound recording enthusiast. I do not do this as a profession.

Just wanted to see if anyone has tried using the Rode NTG4+ shotgun mic ? 

I recently purchased one, sounds very good, but after only charging it the one time, the damn internal Li-Ion battery pack has gone faulty. It will no longer charge or hold any charge. The mic turns itself off after about 5secs. I do not have phantom power to use with my recorder. Needless to say, I am not impressed !  Perhaps I will be better off getting an NTG2 that uses AA batteries, after I get a full refund of course....  Real pity, I like the features of the NTG4 mic.

Cheers, Chris.

Yes. I have contacted the dealer I bought it off, and they will provide me with a warranty replacement unit this weekend.

So I should be using one again very soon.  I did manage to record a school band concert with it before the battery failed, and the recording turned out very well.
