Mic for Video reviews

[Sabitech]

Hi all, sorry If this is the wrong area to post in but I thought it was kind of audio related.
I'm on the hunt for a mic as I am starting to do a few videos for youtube. I am filming on my iPhone 7 and have been looking at maybe a shotgun mic or Lav mic? not too sure which would be a better option. I think a lav mic would be better as it means I can have it on my top and capture the best audio but shotgun looks like a good option for portability?

All makes sense to me! I’m very tempted by the RØDE shotgun mics but will need to check compatibility with my phone

I've made a decision.
I have a spare iphone 4 so will be using that with a lav mic on me and then sync the audio and video. I also think it will offer me more versatility.
