We’ve seen a lot of new mini microphone systems released over the last few years. You can see some of them here in our vlogging microphone buyers guide. One thing that’s stuck out about a lot of the systems so far, though, is that they only come in single or dual microphone setups. This is fine for most people, but what if you want to record a group of people simultaneously?

Well, that’s where the new Comica BoomX-U Qua UHF microphone system comes in, with four transmitters going to a single receiver, you’re able to record up to four people at once having a conversation with real-time monitoring, 24 channels to choose from and up to 120 metres of range in open areas.

The best microphones for vloggers to buy in 2022

If, like me, you use your cameras for video as well as photography, then at some point (probably sooner rather than later) you’re going to need to think about sound. While audio setups can get extremely elaborate, especially once you start doing more serious video, you’ll want to at least get some kind of microphone that you can plug right into your camera, regardless of whether you’re vlogging or trying to sync up separately recorded audio in post.

Here, we’re going to look at some of the best microphones you can get for vlogging that plug directly into your camera in 2022 and go through some of the advantages of each and where it might be worth spending a little extra money. We’ve split this up into two categories. First, there are the on-camera mics which as the name suggests, sit on top of your camera. The other are the wireless microphones which allow a little more freedom of movement in front of the camera.
