$40 and under? Uhh... no. Unless you find a ridiculously good second-hand deal for a BPHS1 + audio interface that, through some sheer magic, costs <$40... no.
I don't like bursting bubbles, but the absolute best headset you'll get under that amount is just about passable.
> but my current set up (i.e computer at a bed) doesnt really allow for one
You're saying you couldn't get a floor mic stand and position it? Because this plus this will get you perfectly good sound, especially for the price.
From reading the other comments I'm guessing you don't so I would either get a used camera or use your phone. The budget of yours is quite limiting to fit in audio, lighting and a decent camera however it may work if you get a slightly older camera.
I would get the t3i body only which you can get at an average of $300. This has an articulating screen, good for interviews, and is still a good beginner camera years on from when it was released. The lens I would get is the YONGYUO YN50mm f.18 which is an cheap autofocus lens at a fixed distance to achieve the best quality.
For microphones I would reccommend the Takstar SGC-598 which is really cheap and surprisingly good. You can put this on a mic stand and get it as close to both the interviewer and the interviewee for the best sound. You will then need a wire to connect it to the camera. However if you have extra money you can save up for a Zoom h1 which you plug the mic into and it records seperately for better audio.
All in all this kit will cost you $500 for just the audio and no lighting. This would cost you about $50 extra for softboxes however if you shoot in daylight it will be much easier and require less lighting.
Another kit you could try is using your phone for video and then buying just audio and lighting. For this I would get the Rode Videomic Pro, the Zoom h1, a mic stand, a softbox lighting kit (2 lights) and any other things like memory cards etc. This would cost you around $400.
Almost any boom mic stand will do (like, say, this one). What you might need, depending on what kind of connector is attached, is an adapter.
For instance, I had to get a 5/8-inch female to 1/4-inch male adapter to fit my microphone to my stand. I don't see the measurements on the page you linked, but it's likely in the documentation somewhere.
