I’m off to Goodwood FoS this year and would like to improve the audio recording for the event, loud and throaty engines, to enjoy with headphones at a later date.

The current thought process is;

I have a GoPro Hero 8. Maybe a media mod add on, which has a better microphone.

iPhone 15 pro with an external microphone, say something like this….

I’ve also got a

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V

which takes great photos and video and has a decent zoom, but not sure how I’d get improve audio as it doesn’t have microphone input.

Any thoughts on what might be the best option, in a reasonable budget?
