For most of us the mics are a "really good idea" since we can get rid of the noise of us handling the recorder (in this case, the 4s.)
The next thing I like to put on mics are those wind noise reducers. The foam cover type is pretty common and works well enough with those shaggy cat/dog hair looking ones always a favorite.
Having written all this, when I want better than average audio I have 2 devices in my bag now for this work. I'll share the make/model and leave it at that. Audio from those is added in post production.
Sanyo ICR-XPS01M
Tascam DR-07MKII
Hope this helps,
