The Comica is just a cheap knockoff of this kit from Shure. Both will probably work but you get what you pay for.
I went with the Shure MV 88. Stereo condenser microphone - and it does produce a left and a right track when you record with it. The original MV88 was iOS only, however the MV88+ also works on android devices (although it is more expensive). You'll find that because it plugs directly into your phone, then placement of it becomes relatively simple - especially if you have a tripod. Also, it comes with its own App so that you can fine tune the controls.
I'd define this (at £129) as cheap compared to lots of free-standing mics (which would also require additional equipment to be able to use).
You can see my video review of it here for lots more information.
Nice that sounds like fun. Besides the iPhone do you have any other equipment?
There is no shame in starting the channel with iPhone then investing in a camera once your channel gains traction. Your really going to want to make sure you have good audio. People will tolerate poor video if the audio is good. The iPhone XR camera isnt bad. It really all depends on your budget.
If you want to use your phone to begin with check out the Shure MV88+. Quality mic with a good stand for vlogging.
I'm starting out myself and been debating investing in a dslr but I ended up using my iphone for video and buying the mic above and a cheap light kit. For me the light kit was a huge quality booster. Luckily your outside so unless your shooting in the dark you may not need one.
Here is what I am using:
Video: iPhone 7 Plus
Mic: Shure MV88+ and BOYA by M1 Lavalier Microphone.
Light: Fovitec - 1x Photography & Video 20"x28" Softbox Continuous Lighting Kit
Software: Adobe Premier
Audio/Music: Pro Tools, FL Studio, Audacity
(I come from more of a audio background but Audacity is free and will get the job done for editing audio.)
