Roede's PinMic is very good. You hardly see it. The cord runs underneath your shirt. It is perfect for my voice, maybe not for your voice. I use it for all my 'talk to camera' recordings.My previous Sony X70 broke down! too expensive to fix.

The classic AT3350 lavalier microphone, good for female voices and fantastic value for money. I do NOT use it anymore, but great for the price.
After reading this review about Panasonic Lumix TZ-100 compact, I bought it. 20.1MP 1" High Sensitivity MOS Sensor. 4K. Very good also for video. I have done lots of photos of products for my webshop.
Zoom H5Studio with excellent XY mics. Use for voice over and mic for online talking, very good. Used and sold many other, see below
Falcon Eyes Bi-Color LED Lamp Sophiez SO-28TD, youtube video
Good as backlight, but also very ok, if you need a bit extra light indoor in daylight. Distributor Europe, diff. models
little use, but nice and small option for Go Pro
OBS Studio for screen recording - excellent
Old habit: Camtasia Studio for Windows (greedy company Techsmith, no link!). I used it for screen recording many years ago. Screen recording the last many years (maybe sinc 2016) bad. I changed to OBS Studio. I still use CS 2018 for editing, because I am used to it.
Audacity for audio editing

I have had some audio recorders from the 2 japanese companies Zoom and Tascam (former TEAC, when I was young), starting with Zoom H4n, but I destroyed it by putting chinese batteries into it. The batteries had higher voltage than 1.2V, and I was not aware of that. BANG and gone! Other recorders sold:
After that I used Tascam DR-40 for voice over. Here is a fantastic review of the DR-40. The built in mics are very good. I also I get good result using the DR-40 with Rode Pinmic connnected with Rode Micon-5 to XLR input. I can NOT use it as usb connected audio interface to my pc, do not know why. Zoom H5 works fine as USB audio interface. DR-40X is a newer model:DR-40X at thomann.de Sold it sept. 2024
