USB C Microphone for OnePlus 6?

[Cromulent]

I'm curious if anyone has had any luck with USB C microphones using an Android smartphone? I have a OnePlus 6 and would like a microphone to increase the audio quality when I am recording video in Filmic Pro.

Unfortunately it's something Android does not do well with, even when it was straight 'plug a mic into your 3.5mm socket', which annoyingly you can do on iOS and it will just use the external mic. On Android I think just Open Camera will let you select an external mic manually. If I remember, I'll try it on my 7 Pro later with a USB C adaptor.

Using my OnePlus 7 Pro (and I'm sure I've done similar on other phones) I used an adaptor and my Purple Panda mic with its TRRS connection (TRS adaptor didn't work) and it worked great when using Open Camera and selecting Extrnal Mic in the video -> audio settings.

I don't know if Filmic Pro lets you select an external mic? I'd be interested to know actually, as I might buy the app myself.
