Hi Miguel, take a look at the ATR3350 lav mics, I run 2 into a Zoom H5 (though the H4 and most other recorders will accommodate them too) for a lot of my in-person interviews. https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/atr-3350-lavalier-microphone-podcasting-review/

Amazing article, thanks for that. My question is if i want to do a Face-to Face interview but with freehands, what you recommend. Im looking for a voice recorder for a face to face interview with my hands free to handle in it. I was thinking about H4n Pro.

Thanks for your opinion

My arsenal of equipment for podcasting comprises my old and trusty ZOOM H2N, which I still use for portable interviews, (using the 4 channel mic setting so that we can sit across a table-its wise to put a towel or something on the table to reduce reflections), my ZOOM R16 mixer/recorder which I use for a multi-mic setup (the built-in mics are not great but OK for a round-table discussion-although I’m considering the Crown Sound Grabber boundary mic, which would probably give better quality coverage for a small group of less than 10 people), a Marshall M67G (fantastic value for money) which I use in conjunction with the R16 because it has phantom power inputs, and a Shure SM 58 and SM 57. For a podcast discussion between 2 people I like the M67G and obtain very good recordings using my Monoprice 602650 absorbent shield which you can see at http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=602650 In this case, provided the two people are sitting close together, the M67G gives good coverage and reduces room effects in my little, reverberant room.
