It makes sense that you are trying to get the microphone closer to the player while having the video recorder back a ways.
I don't have direct experience in what you're asking for, so I'm going to go a bit sideways instead of giving you a direct answer. Feel free to ignore all this, because I realize it might be totally wrong for you.
Like you, I frequent the custom section of the AGF. I haven't been active in new commissions for quite a while, but I've noticed you've been acquiring some really great instruments. So, it makes me wonder what you're expectations are for this recording endeavor. Is a single mic (with a digital output) a good long term approach or will it become unused gear if you upgrade. Many who do video and audio recording (I only do audio) record each with separate gear and then combine the files post recording. If that's something you might want to consider, then a reasonable way to get into the audio end of recording might be a Zoom H5 portable recorder.
If you're recording guitar and vocals you may want to have two mics. Also, if you're recording solo acoustic guitar you might quickly move to stereo recording, and once again you'd need two mics.
Then again, maybe what you are looking for doesn't justify the time and money rabbit hole that this audio recording hobby can create. Your concept of an external mic feeding your phone may be the perfect solution.
