Despite the Fuji X-T4 manual stating that microphones requiring plug-in-power will not work, I have found that the exellent EM172 PIPS from Micbooster work very well with this camera. I wonder whether they mean microphones requiring phantom power, as wthout an adapter there is no way to use phantom power mics on the X-T4.
Plug-in-power (PIP) mics typically require 5 or less volts to operate whereas phantom powered mics typically require 11-48v.

With headphone monitoring via the USB-C adapter (which comes with the X-T4) recording decent audio on this camera is quite good.
I use some little dead womble fur wind protectors for the EM172s which in gentle breezes are quite effective in reducing wind noise and rumble. And attached to a hat on either side of my head they create a really good stereo image and there’s nothing to hold on to so you can concentrate on getting a good shot with the camera.
