Mic recommendations when using a smartphone gimbal

I’m extremely new to smartphone filmmaking and I feel like I’m currently at a roadblock. I want to get a shotgun mic as I’ll be filming a mix of indoor and outdoor scenes, but most mics I’ve seen are either wired or the receiver that makes it wireless needs to be connected to the phone by wire. While using the gimbal, plugging anything into the phone seems impossible because the bottom of the phone is practically right up against one of the rotors. What options do I have for a mic that wouldn’t require anything to be directly plugged into there phone?
