Zoom H1....magic arm. Great for scratch/reference track.

Buy the Rhode video mic pro and follow instruction on reduser. It's a faux stereo mic, once you make it a mono mic it will work nicely as an on camera mic. Then after you do that, hire a pro audio mixer. A good experienced field recordist is an amazing asset.

The Sennheiser MKH416 has been the standard go-to documentary & news shotgun microphone for about 25 years. You can get them used fairly inexpensively ($600-$700). Some people use the Rode NTG-3, which I don't think is quite as good, but it's pretty close for less money:

You can't go wrong with a Sennheiser condensor microphone, and they'll last many years and hold their value for a long time. I look on a good microphone like a camera owner looks at a lens: it's an investment that (unlike cameras or recorders) will probably be serviceable for decades, given good care over time.
