Best Vlogging Microphone for 2 People? Saramonic Blink500 vs Deity D4 Duo

What's the best microphone setup for 2 people? In this video, we review the Saramonic Blink 500 (a Rode Wireless Go killer?) and the Deity D4 Duo (a Rode VideoMicro killer?). Both of these microphones are optimal for 2 person filming setups, such as couple vlogs or video interviews.

We test both microphones on the GoPro Hero 9 + Media Mod, but you can also use these mics with a DSLR, mirrorless camera, point and shoot camera, or smartphone.

* UPDATE *
Deity reached out to us on Twitter and showed us how to secure the microphone cable into the grooves of the cold shoe mount. Doing this solves the excessive noise problem from the microphone.

Which microphone do you think performed the best?
