Where there is a will, there is a way. What you are doing takes me back to the early days of trying to get good audio into the NEX mirrorless cameras and consumer video handycams and the like. It demonstrates how far along audio on these cameras has greatly improved and there are now a vast array of choices out there as you make very clear in this interesting video. Perhaps Arri should consider going against their own grain and improve the audio capabilities on any future Alexa Mini. A controversial idea perhaps, but I lean towards audio being a requisite function on any camera and not a 'special feature'.
Great rundown of so many options! I'd say you will definitely want to check out one more when you get a chance, try a minimic from "location sound london." It's delivering line level and is exceptionally tiny. It's the best thing I've found for reference audio that adds no bulk/requires no extra power. Internal battery is supposed to last for days but I have never wanted to test it past a single 16 hour day. I've had 4 units since 2022 and had zero issues with any of them. Been one of the best value accessories, and severely cut down my headaches with audio on the Mini. Cheers!

This sounds interesting and tiny. Is the internal battery rechargable?
@@pjsagniayep it charges through a USBC port in 20-30 minutes
