Sounds like you need radio microphones, pinned to the lapel. That's what we used to use when I was doing stuff like that and it's the best guaranteee of quality. A phone won't have the same quality and could potentially go out of sync.

I would also change the standard mic to a sennheiser MKE2 EW Gold

And then you will need a portable recorder as it looks like your camera doesn't have a mic input.

These are cheap and reliable

Zoom H4n

Oh and if you don't have up to date editing software you will need a clapperboard.

And you will need some headphones
