Directional mics usage on African Safari
1

I am going to Africa and will be shooting with a Nikon Z and 100-400 zoom. Many times the animals will not be close. Will a mic such as the Rode Video Go II at least filter out some of the sound from the vehicle - wind, clicking cameras, etc, or is the distance too far for it to be effective - Say to capture lions feeding or hyenas cackling in the distance without all the noise at the vehicle.

Thanks for your help, Michael
