    I am an enthusiast about movie making and I would need a microphone to record audio for a vlog. What would you recommend? Also I do not have a huge budget for this

    Hyperx has an affordable USB microphone that you could use. It also sounds good.

    Heard AT2020 is a very good and professional one especially with XLR cable

    There are many microphones but depends what you wish to go for. If you buy some microphones you also need to buy a mixer and software to use them. The lowest budget would be an USB microphone but the quality is not as good.

    Have you tried Rode Smart Lav+? It goes best with your smartphone too! And you can have a decent quality for a low budget

    How difficult is it to set up such a microphone?
