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.
Full-Frame Hybrid — A7C II (2023): Full-frame AI autofocus in the most compact body available — the best camera under £1,500 for hybrid shooters.
