Deity V-Mic D4 Duo

A beginner-tier 3.5mm TRS shotgun with front and rear capsules, the V-Mic D4 Duo can capture the scene and behind-camera commentary at once, with no phantom power needed. It's a natural fit for vloggers who narrate while filming. Cameras or camcorders that don't supply 3.5mm plug-in power won't drive it, so check your input before relying on it.
