8-LeggedCatWhat is your budget? The [Hollyland Lark M2](https://a.co/d/jkVdzIH) works really well. There are a couple different versions of it to fit with your device, but the sound is great.
The Hollyland Lark M2 is good. Also DJI products
It works well enough for me. But I am far from a sound expert.
joe13rYeah works with hot shoe. Although I’ve found mine takes a bit of force to get the plastic clip to fit. Kinda wish they used the data pins so I didn’t have to use the wires.
Living-Ad5291Holly land Lark mark II pretty inexpensive but gets the job done pretty well
nrek00I use a wireless Hollyland MK2 mic; the setup is remarkably easy and sounds great (processed through Voicemeeter to reduce that "wireless lav" tinny sound common with wireless lav-type mics).
UnuboreThe most popular mobile mic brand for IRL is Hollyland. Between the two models, the Lark M2 and the Lark M2S, I would recommend the older Lark M2. It's both cheaper and can attach to more parts of your clothing with the magnet. The M2S is a hook so you need an edge. It's also has the mic at the top so you can point it to your mouth where as the M2S is out and away. They both have noise cancellation, but they may sound a bit "under the water" so play around with that. I forgot if the M2 has a medium setting. https://www.amazon.com/Hollyland-Microphone-Cancellation-Recording-Streaming/dp/B0CP7P4RRQ The other mic brand I see is DJI, but I don't have any experience with those.
From the audio comparisons I've seen, it's pretty similar, and I have not noticed those issues with Hollyland mics in the real world from the streams I've watched. I think the noise cancellation could be better as it gets muddy when it's turned to max. Maybe the DJI performs better there but I haven't had a chance to try it out.
Electronic-Article39Not a fan of 2.8 zooms as they are heavy and expensive Can recommend 20-60 and a third party 35mm or 50mm primes instead. Mic wise can recommend maono wave T5. On par with holyland mark 2 and DJI mics, but a lot cheaper.
MunchabunchofjunkSame. I have had several systems and the Lark 2 is my favorite right now.
According_Animator95I have started and i am currently creating content with an iPhone XS with the Black Magic Camera App and a hollyland m2 mic. My channel is paraguayan and the thing that makes it unique is that i talk about films, creativity or personal development but mixing with experiences i have or books i’ve readed, i try to be true to myself and travel a lot. I have exp In filmmaking. [This is a video where I talk about why Paraguayans feel invisible and how analyzing Pluribus amplified that feeling.](https://youtu.be/mpmCguukW9k?si=EI9VbYqw64qMEkXP)
