I'm looking at doing a few recordings of me playing some songs whilst I've not got any band practice and I thought the easiest way to do it would be to both video and record them, so was planning on using my iPhone X or iPad. Having tried a couple of recordings the sound is not the best so was looking at an external mic for it. There seem to be a few options, all having various reviews so trying to find someone who's actually used/ using something.
Currently looking at something like the Zoom iq7, certainly in that sort of price bracket - c£100

I find the best way to do it is to use the iPhone \ iPad for the video but record the audio directly into a laptop etc and then import both files into a video editor, line em up and mute the audio that's on the video track.
Yep, but this would mainly be for acoustic, which isn't an electro
It really is a piece of p1ss solution.

Not tried it with anything loud, but it's supposed to cope with a loud band as well.
Also, there are several audio interfaces that could be connected via ye olde camera kit, there must be a modern equivalent of that. The unit should probably be self powered rather than USB powered.
All my phones are android now, iPads are for gigs only so my contribution is a bit dated.

Several times we tried to record whit the Zoom (before I got the MV) and had to give up because of clipping - the MV doesnt blink.
