We all know that sound is the most important part of filmmaking. You can overlook average visuals, but poor sound quality will ruin your project.
For entry-level filmmakers, the best microphones include shotgun mics like the Schoeps CMIT5U, miniCMIT, SuperCMIT, Sennheiser MKH60, MKH8060, Sanken CS3e, DPA 4017B, Neumann KMR81i, and the reliable Sennheiser MKH416. Rode and Deity are not very recommended.
Top hypercardioid mics are the Schoeps CMC6 MK41 and Sennheiser MKH50, with honorable mentions like Sennheiser MKH8050 and Schoeps CCM41. The Sennheiser MKE 600 is a great, affordable option for beginners and can serve well as both a boom and on-camera mic.
For lav mics, the best choices are DPA6060 or 4060, Sanken COS11-D, mid-range options include Sennheiser MKE-2, Countryman B6 or B3, and waterproof options like VoiceTechnologies VT500W.
For a wireless lav mic system for a Sony A7IV, consider the DJI Mic 2, Rode Wireless Pro, or Sony ECM-W3. For on-camera shotgun mics for classroom recording, you might look at the Rode NTG Hybrid.
Also, recording in 32-bit float is a valuable technique, allowing filmmakers to save overexposed takes, but there are still limited devices available for this purpose.
