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.
Travel, Landscape & Portrait Photography With Minimal Kit — A7CR (2023): The world's smallest 61MP full-frame camera — A7R V quality in a pocketable A7C body.
