I have a 416 and a bag of other mics I use sometimes. But beware of the crappy preamps on a camera without XLR. You need something with rather high output to conquer the noise levels, so the 416 with external phantom power was a no go. I had luck and bought a cheap Boya BY PVM50 (stereo cardioid cam mic) and it matches my Canon camera and computer pretty well without any dedicated preamp.
I bought a cheap boya mic because I didn't want to pay the premium of the then Rhode wireless system.i wasn't filming a lot I had issues with the connection in the field. ended up never using the mic. I started to record more talking head footage outdoors and when I needed it, the mic died and I couldn't charge the charging case anymore. I tried everything. i recently bought the DJI mic mini because I didn't want to use the charging case and only needed one mic. can't wait to give it a try.
BOYA mic are decent as well, given the compact factor vs what they deliver, its value for money
Got some Boya ones recently..cost about £40 and really good, have noise reduction.
