What polar pattern are boom mics?
highly directional polar pattern
A boom mic has a highly directional polar pattern and is positioned at the end of a boom pole. These mics are staples in film and video. They are highly directional (pick up sound where they point to and reject off-axis sounds). Boom mics are often held by an operator, making them movable during a performance.

What is the polar pattern of the rode NTG1 and NTG2?
Just like most other condenser shotgun mics, Rode NTG1 and Rode NTG2 come with the supercardioid polar pattern. The polar pattern has a strict and narrow pick-up angle, allowing the mic to focus on capturing the sounds from a specific direction while attenuating and rejecting other sound signals coming off-axis from the sides and the rear.

Does Curtis Judd use the Audio-Technica NTG2?
I went on Ebay and got an older-model Audio-Technica long shotgun that works amazingly well and a $25 Lyx Pro. Still, I had heard that Peter McKinnon and Curtis Judd use the NTG2 (at least sometimes).
