iPhone external directional microphone

[Brancaleone]

Hi everybody, I want to shoot a short movie with my iPhone 6, and I would like to improve the quality of the audio of my videos. Do you know any external directional microphone that provides a good sound quality?

I searched on the internet but the ones compatible with the iPhone or other smartphones do not seem to improve drastically the audio quality. I was thinking about Rode microphones, but they need an adapter. Do you think that Rode w/ adapter could be a nice solution or do you have other suggestions?

Having just googled my way to said Røde mics and adapter, I don't see how it would be a problem that they need those. OFC there's always this contraption, but then there was the "directional" part...

Ok, thank you very much! Cause I have to attach the microphone somewhere do you know if an iPhone 6 case that permits to do so exists?

Among these microphones (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=rode) what do you think is the best one? Do you think that the Rode VMGO Video Mic GO could be a good choice?
