GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Vlogging, Interviews & Content Creation — Mic 2 Wireless Microphone System: Matches the Wireless GO II on almost every spec and beats it on range and 32-bit float recording. The magnetic clip is more discreet than the Rode. Either system is excellent — DJI offers slightly cheaper entry and better range.
Content Creation & Vlogging — A6400 (2019): The best value APS-C Sony you can buy — especially used. Real-time Eye AF at this price point was transformative when it launched and still makes it one of the most reliable autofocus systems in the lineup.
