Wave:3

Shooting in the studio / workshop my main camera is a GH5 and I tend to favour the Sigma 18-35mm f1.4 with a CPL filter due to wearing glasses, but it takes amazing video. I do audio separately through an Elgato Wave 3 as I love the sound. Then I have five different lights (three for me, one back, one backwall) to make sure everything is always lit well. If I'm roaming or shooting in or on a car I'll use either an Osmo Pocket 3 or Action 5 Pro. Sometimes use the Pixel 10 Pro for simple handheld stuff. Occasionally a DJI drone for aerial shots. Audio in on the go all filmed on DJI Mic 2, or a Tascam with a laravel of I'm recording car noises. So yeah. Mix it up depending what I need.

When I was looking for a new mic to replace my aging Yet, it came down to the HyperX QuadCast S, or the Elgato Wave 3. I went with the Elgato Wave 3. From what I heard in side-by-side recording comparisons I liked the Wave 3 more. An added bonus I didn't realize at the time is Elgato's software can utilize VST plugins, while HyperX's ngenuity software does not. They both have built-in features like noise reductions, but neither are great. There are better plugins out there. Elgato makes it easier imo. You can still use VST plugins you just need additional software. One one PC I use Voicemeeter Banana, and on another EquilizerAPO. At this price, it may be worth considering the Quadcast S. The Wave 3 is currently $150, but goes on sale for $100-120. I just want to make one more additional note. The EPOS Gaming B20 has been under $25 on amazon for months. It's a discontinued mic, but I like its sound more than my yeti (not as much as my Wave 3). But it was a quarter of the price for comparable quality sound. (That's the mic I use Voicemeeter for). While still available, that mic breaks the price/performance ratio. It's a steal for the price. (Worth noting EPOS branched off of Sennheiser)
