Whether you use a handheld dynamic mic or a battery-powered condenser, the lightweight DR-10X can be discreetly affixed to the mic without weighing it down. Coming back to this after some more usage, the only issue I've struck with the unit is the touch screen control. I like the fact that those knobs represent the full range, will a full stop at the minimum and maximum position (unlike some devices whose knobs spin infinitely, even after surpassing the minimum or maximum gain). I’ll bookmark this later to hopefully better understand how to actually use the multitrack recording feature, as I can’t seem to get multiple audio tracks in my DAW.

Zoom H8 - Sound On Sound

The VRH-8 is an Ambisonic mic capsule that utilizes four condenser microphones to deliver immersive 360 audio recordings. The R07 can run for 15 hours off two AA batteries, and features programmable Presets, so once you nail the settings for a scene, you won’t have to program them again, making this a great solution for indie filmmakers.

The latter don't usually have built-in mics, but they will usually feature at least four balanced XLR inputs for extended audio possibilities.You can record a whole drum kit, multiple podcast guests, and configure sophisticated mic arrays for nature.
