Looking For a Microphone

Hi, I'm looking to expand my videography setup and I'm looking for a decent microphone. For some context, I use a Samsung S20 connected to an Adonit V-grip which has an included hotshoe on it, so I'm able to connect a hotshoe microphone on it.

 

Some criteria for the microphone:

  • Must be otshoe-mountable
  • Must be USB-C or USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle-compatible
  • Audio quality must be better than my Samsung S20's microphone
  • Must be <£50 - Ideally purchased on Amazon.co.uk

 

It sounds like a difficult task to meet all the criteria, and I'm honestly not completely sold on getting a microphone yet, but thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Sounds like you're looking for the rode videomic line.
Take a look at them, they're decent mics for the price but given that you're shooting on a phone I'd hazard a guess it will be more than good enough.
