rode with a wired lav attached. I only ever use the built in mic in an emergency (lav broke and forgot to pack extras) or on a stick.
The hollyland stuff is good too, and if you want to skip the lav part that’s what I would go with.
Cheapest way to do this in a small room is a DJI or Rode lapel mic kit as these will connect to the PC via USB-C or 3.5mm (I prefer DJI) and feed audio that way.
For bigger rooms wireless will be a challenge but for small DJI is a rock solid solution.
I've been recording the sound of Frogs in my backyard with mine, leaving the mics clipped to trees and wandering back away from the spots where they're recording from, using the Rx unit in headphone gain output to monitor the recordings.
After testing my own Rode Go Pro kit, I have to argue the point on the Lectrosonics.
Unique Perspective - I do RF/Roving camera for horse sports,.. and the company I used to work for had Lectrosonics gear with the Rx that mounts inside the camera body, and that thing was lucky to have a 5m range most days, 8 meters on a good day, and got interfered with by everything.
My own person Rode Go Pro kit, I've tested on my own time and got better the 25 meters range between the two Tx units and the Rx with zero sign of drop out, I was able to get 50m away and heading indoors when both Tx units dropped out completely.
Sound quality wise. the Lectrosonics kit was closer to the sound of the talent, but does that matter if they can't get more then a handful of meters from the camera without dropping out?
