I'd like to start making some videos but am lacking a decent microphone when recording myself. For gameplay, ect I use the blue yeti pro. For recording myself doing IRL things, build logs, and stuff like that i'm having trouble.

 

 

Any suggestions on a cheap but nice quality lavalier mic?

 

Right now im using a d3100 for recording.

 

 

Also what else would I need along with the mic for the sound system? or is that it?

This is what I use and it works splendidly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUEBGMU?keywords=vid%20pro%20xml&qid=1455420869&ref_=sr_1_sc_1&sr=8-1-spell

 

Another (more expensive) option: http://www.amazon.com/AZDEN-EX503-Omni-Directional-Lavaliere-Microphones/dp/B000BSMKPY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1455420900&sr=8-4&keywords=azden+wireless+mic

 

Make sure you set your in camera audio to manual and change the levels a bit to get the best results. 

would the 

Vidpro XM-L Wired Lavalier microphone

work with my camera?
