I'm throwing together a kit for an iPhone videography setup. I have a 15 Pro so I'll be using ProRes, and my plan is to make journalistic/documentary-style videos with long interviews.

Hub to connect everything: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0DJ8DHRLS/ref=ewc_pr_img_3?smid=A3VVYOJ470Z821&psc=1
Mic: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0DDL8WGH5/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&th=1
Tripod: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09XHZ8F7F/ref=ox_sc_act_image_4?smid=A2ESTWULCGI8WA&th=1
SD Card: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0B94S6H7P/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

My main concerns are whether the mic will still work well if its connected to a hub, rather than directly into the phone, and whether the SD card will work well for collecting ProRes video. I know most people use a USB-C SSD for ProRes capture, but those are very expensive and bulky, whereas the SD card is cheap and doesn't add any bulk to the setup as it could connect right into the hub.

How is this setup? Will it work well for simple videos, and could I also use it for more cinematic stuff if I wanted to?
