I don’t know about you but I used my phone’s internal microphone for a lot longer than I should have. These microphones are not designed to record high quality audio. External smartphone microphones have come a long way over the years. The Soundskrit Firefly is a studio-grade directional microphone with 4 modes that you can use for streaming, vlogging, and interviews.
The Firefly is compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It has selfie, interview, stereo, and video modes. In interview mode, Firefly picks up voices on either side. While it is designed for newer iPhones, you can use a USB-C to Lightning adapter to use this with older models. Firefly has a buttons to switch mode and adjust gain. There is also a clipping indicator that gives you feedback.
