Shure MV7
I switched to the Shure MV7 after using a Blue Yeti for years. The MV7 is a hybrid USB/XLR microphone that lets you to record directly into a computer via USB or connect to an audio interface via XLR. I bought it as I was doing more video work and the Yeti was too large and visually distracting on camera. After a period of time connecting it with USB, I now connect it using XLR to a Arturia MiniFuse 4 or Elgato XLR Dock Mk2.
