Which Mic Should I Get? (Patreon)
Content
THIRD time writing this...here we go (i kept closing the window accidentally!?)
Aim: Incognito first, then good audio. $150 is budget but willing to pay more if you think it is worth it! :)
I want to record field recordings, out and about, exaggerated L/F, scalp massages, and maybe even EAR videos! :o
ATM I am probably leaning towards Ambeo/Lifelike
Hooking these up to a zoom first will yield better results but, oh well ... maybe in future I'll get that too... ;)
Links are to give a rough idea on sound, it depends how these people edited the sound and their recording conditions and any third party apps or even attachments....but an IDEA of what each would sound like...

2- HOOKE
3- AMBEO
