Many audio recorders (such as those from the Zoom brand) can be used directly as sound cards or as an external microphone for the computer by connecting them via USB.
They can also be used as an external microphone for the video camera by connecting the headphone output of the recorder to the microphone or line input of the camera.
The material used here is material that I bought years ago and is not sponsored.
- The H2n Zoom Recorder is really useful for quality recording in the studio or at home and outdoors, and even as an audio interface or external microphone on the computer: https://www.zoom-na.com/es/products/grabaci-n-de-campov-deo/grabaci-n-de-campo/zoom-h2n-handy-recorder

- The H4n Zoom recorder I use is no longer available but has a replacement in the H4n Pro https://www.zoom-na.com/es/products/grabaci-n-de-campov-deo/grabaci-n-de-campo/h4n-pro-handy-recorder

- In this case I used the Panasonic LUMIX GH5, which has some integrated microphones that can be used for short distance recording, and which has a good quality 3.5 mini-jack microphone input.
