Looking at Samson Q4. 

It's a dynamic mic and all the reviews say it's pretty durable, good quality and cheap.

But, I can't get to find proper video footage of these to understand what cables these use. So, do I need Mixer/Audio interface??

 

Or if anyone can suggest anything else which will cost me less than $50?

That's an XLR mic that needs phantom power. What are you looking to do exactly? And what's your budget? If you want to use an XLR mic, you'll need something like this https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/US1X2--tascam-us-1x2-usb-audio-interface

And you'll want a better (more expensive) mic. A Blue Snowball ICE might suit you if you're not doing anything too extreme. I think Linus also reviews that mic as well.

It is definitely NOT. It is simple dynamic microphone and dynamics don't need phantom power. 

6 am is not a good time to be helping people. I shoulda read the damn name. lol thats my bad. But to the OP, it is an XLR mic, so keep that in mind when cable shopping. But to patch it into a computer, I'd still recommend an interface, like the one I linked to earlier.
