I really like the Rode Videomic Pro+, usb rechargable, plug and play, solid audio.
I was able to have audio from interview subjects in loud crowded areas too.
Interview lav situations, I use the DJI Mic 2. User friendly interface and holds a great charge like the Videomic Pro+
I'll stay here, I'm interested.
When I've recorded concerts, if you can't get a signal from a desk or leave a recorder on a tripod, I've even placed the Zoom H4 recorder on the camera itself, using a hotshoe adapter or similar, recording with the limiters on, using the camera audio (low levels) only for syncing, but it's not ideal.
I remember a round Rode mic, the VideomicPro, which worked very well with its stock limiters. They lent it to me on several concert jobs, but now there are so many versions that I get lost.
There's a similar discussion here about recording concerts on camera: [https://www.reddit.com/r/videography/comments/z2kvuv/best\_on\_camera\_mic\_for\_recording\_extremely\_loud/](https://www.reddit.com/r/videography/comments/z2kvuv/best_on_camera_mic_for_recording_extremely_loud/)
My main camera is a canon 550D. It's ancient, but it's what I have and have dew lenses and a variable nd filter
I have another small ancient canon powershot for in pocket b-roll when I walk the dogs or on the road
Got a Rhode video mic pro for sound and a Zoom Hn2 for voice overs
Have a small manfrotto be free and some old other tripods and a broken gorilla pod.
For a small moment, I tried filming a bit with my Samsung m13, but I don't like the video, so use the small powershot instead

Indestructible live workhorse; but muffled for studio vocals.
