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.
Hybrid Photography, Travel & Video On Sony Aps-C — A6600 (2019): The APS-C Sony that has everything — IBIS, real-time Eye AF, excellent battery life, and 4K/30p in a weather-sealed body.
