Microphone recommendations?

Illustration for article titled Microphone recommendations?

I’m wanting to try my hand at making some YooToob car-related content. I’ve got a GoPro, a DSLR that’ll shoot video and some extremely basic knowledge on editing. But, I’m concerned about my lack of a microphone. I’d like some sort of clip-on wireless type doohickey, but I’m totally clueless about what’s compatible, decent quality and cheap, since I’m not sure if I’ll be any good at any of this or if all this junk will just get tossed in the bottom of a closet and forgotten in 2 weeks.

So, how do I make with the decent sound recordage for not a big fortune? Talk slowly and don’t use big words. I’ve got the dumbs with technology.
