I got mine a few weeks ago and love it. Finally used it for one of my comedy shows and it worked fantastic! This is a great video!
Just bought the Lark Max based purely on its spec' carried on Amazon UK.
Having just watched this concise & well-presented vid', I am now aware of the kit's AMAZING diversity, audio quality in more detail AND the back-up facilities for pro- broadcasting narration, in case an important recording goes wrong, e.g. with sound disturbance.
Looking forward to experiment very soon!
Thanks.
Hector, Far North of Scotland, UK.
Another amazing video by the man himself! Love the style of editing and detail you bring to your reviews! inspired is an understatment! AND I HAVEN'T EVEN GOT HALF WAY THROUGH THE VIDEO!
Haha thank you so much!!
I just purchased the DJI Wireless Dual Mic system also the Shure MVL Lav Mic , is one better than the other?
Great video and content. This really helps my decision with vlog mics. I never heard of HL before this. I'm living in Thailand and I'm having trouble finding quality gear
Great review! I wish the noise cancellation test part was in a city environment or a windy one though. I'm afraid to use that kind of tech on mics because it'll mess up the voice part of the audio while filtering out the background noise.
Whether in the woods or a busy city don't rely on a filter to correct "noise". In this case he is only referring to ambient sounds. The correct type of microphone pickup pattern, placement and shielding the person from as much of these noises as possible is key. Asking a filter to remove wind, rustling branches, barking dogs etc. is a problem. Record the best possible audio in the most controlled way then apply filters to clear up inherent noise from your equipment if needed. You'll definitely impact the dialogue you want with the clumsy application of a filter on the device or in post production.
Very informative but yet concise. Thanks so much
Great vid! Love the large internal record feature. Would love to see a comparison to DJI & Rode products!
The dji is great but it’s very fragile, mine stopped working after 2 weeks of filming
Very nicely done, I was kind of lost before I watched your video, thanks again
Nice review. I think you should include one more feature which is the ability to hear the playback on iPhone without taking off the cable from the phone.
Looks cool. Lots of choice in this area. This, the rode go ii and the DJI I think I'd get this if I didn't own the rode go ii. I won't trade what I've got until something has 32 bit float.
Fantastic Review
Great Video Sir! I was debating on which Hollyland Lark to buy, either the MAX or the 150 and after a couple videos and reviews you sold me on the MAX! Thank you Sir and God Bless!
Great review and very helpful! Do you think it would work well to record in a bar? Would it pick up the 2 people with the mics and filter out background noise? Thanks!!!
Great video, thank you. If I attach it to my GO Pro Hero 10 via media mod will it simply bake the audio into the video as I don't want to do much with the audio in post?
Thanks very much....and happy new year ! 😊
Great job 👏
Thank you for your presentation.
You're welcome!
thx for review. very good. I think you answered my questions of will the USB c carry digital audio to the Lightning of an iPhone? and is there Ext Mic input. thinking of a Sen. MKE2. oh guess another question. are both TX mics mono to the Stereo input of an iPhone? or are they selectable 1 [ left] and 2 [ right ] ?
I loved the review, easily the most comprehensive one I have seen. I do want to know if it connects to a mixing board. Also, do you think it could work as a wireless mic for a violin (whatever setup works for voice ALWAYS works for violin as it is the closest instrument to the human voice). I have a friend who needs one but is short on cash, and I was thinking of buying the Lark M1 Solo.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Can you use both recording modes? On the transmitter itself and on camera?
Hi, excellent video. Can I use it with the Zoom F3 recorder to take advantage of the 32 bit floating file? Is just a 3.5 to XLR adapter enough? Thank you.
great video, Thank you. I hate reading instructions, I got the same backpack.
Any idea if it supports plug-in power, and if so, how much? I know the Rode WGII supports up to 4v, but I can’t find the specs for the Lark Max
Have you tried it with any lavalier mics? Does i have interference issues like the DJI mic has?
does it have gain control? My rode tends to get too hot. Looking for a new setup
Thank you for your video it is amazing, I have a question, is it fit for Dji mavic 3 pro RC ? and how quality compared with Dji Mavic 2 mic ?
I can’t decide between that one or the rode wireless pro. Which one would you recommend?
5 Stars !!!! Placing my order as we speak !!!!!!
If you compare it to the DJI mics. Which is better for you?
Great review. My concern is the inbuilt battery; what next when it eventually dies after 2 or more years of use?
How much noise does it pickup if your moving? Say running? I'd like to mic up some action shots, scrambling up mountains, etc. Right now I use external microphones on cameras and they work but would be better if I could place a mic on the subjects doing the activity.
Hi! What is the best? Dji mic or these?
This is the best review of the Lark Max if found! Amazing job 👍
Great video, thank you. Quick question. Does the ENC Noise Cancelling work when an external mic is plugged in, e.g. Rode Lavalier GO? THANKS!
I don’t believe so. I think the proximity of the enc input and the main mic is important for that. I’m not 100% sure though so it might be worth hitting up hollyland for that question!
Do you happen to know if the batteries on these mics / charging case are user replaceable?
I have spent a few hours connecting it to macbook and iphone and cant figure out how to get the sound coming out strong and clear without clipping. Can you share the gain and mic settings you used to record this specific video or what you would recommend for something similar. If I put the mic down to my chest or so like yours, it sounds very quite, even though I am loud in speaking.
How to manually adjust the gain for each separate mic during recording?
what number do you set the mono output and the mic output levels?
so i have the go pro hero 10 with Hollyland Lark M1 on the stock video audio it only records the the left side audio not the right side audio but if i turn on go pro raw audio track it records evenly L and R audio how would i fix that? that was my only question other than that enjoyed the video.
Does noise cancelling work as well with the lav mic plugged in?
So the one problem I have found is the clips on the receiver will work great if you’re using it on the Coach you of a camera. But when I try and use it on a gimbal or something those clips don’t work on any of the accessory cold shoe mounts that I have as they’re too wide, and the receiver simply falls off. Have you experienced this and if so, do you have a workaround? Thanks.
Can I monitor the audio using headphones while I’m filming? I just want to be able to know whether it’s turning out ok in the moment.
Hi! I'm a wedding DJ considering this for ceremonies. Have you ever had problems with dropouts when being close but around lots of cell phones? Basically worried about that & someone walking too far away and the receiver being unsynced from the mic. thank you!
great content ❤
is it working on iphone 15 pro ?
thx
A couple questions… How do you offload audio? And, can you monitor audio while recording?
I’m excited for the new Diety wireless mic system because it’ll have timecode built in. But these look really nice.
You plug the transmitter into a computer via usb c and it pops up like an external drive. There is a headphone out on the receiver so you can monitor.
@@dunnadidit A headphone monitor is great (not the only unit to have one) but that's not the same as monitoring signal level. Other units allow you to swap out cards so that you can keep working while someone take the card and loads it onto the computer. This seems like a negative to me. If each microphone/recorder has internal recording how do you load those files in your computer and continue using the microphones?
Is it a good mic for DJI Osmo Action 3. My plan is to use it as my mic for my acoustic covers
hello sir , i would like to see the comparison of mic ( sound quality) if used in iphone vs android vs DSLR.......because the connectivity is different like with type c , lightning and aux.
Hi, how You export file into PC(save mode)? Beqouse I must format to nTFS, exFAT or FAT32, and never know when i record succesfully.
If recording outdoors via a smartphone, which gain levels would u set the lark max at?
Question: I watched the manufacturer's video and it was said that the receiver stops recording after 30 minutes. I need 1 hr. of continuous recording. there wasn't much explanation of this in the Hollyland video. Would you happen to know about this? Great video!
I'm a Dj. I'm curious if these would be good for me as a DJ. I'm concerned about feedback from the speaker. I bought the $100 version of the Hollyland mics and the feedback a lot.
Any chance you tried this in close proximity to speakers?
can I use line in from mixer and connects to the transmitter?
Can I use these mics and connect the receiver to a speaker for live streaming?
Do you do any eq in post? It sounds very tiny
Does it work with the Action 3?
Do the transmitters record at 48khz 24bit WAV ?
Does this come with lav mics with the wires?
I have an H4N, if I used 3.5 mm to xlr adapter, do you think audio would suffer? I'd love to use this on a shoot where I'm recording 4 or more different audio tracks/ lavs since these are the same price as one sennheiser lav
I have yet to figure out how to record a video on iPhone and use the lark. It never seems to have the lark audio. It still sounds like the iPhone was recording the audio.
Ehi, I have this issue: when I connect the RX to my iPhone 15 Pro, the RX starts charging from the phone, and I don't want the phone's battery life to decrease. Do you know if it's possible to configure it without charging?
I have a question , can anyone help? The audio recorded on the holly land max transmitter sounds very low whenever I import the file into my MacBook Pro using logicpro. I never messed with any of the settings on the receiver or transmitter it is the factory settings still. Why is my audio not loud ?
can we connect 2 reciever to 1 transmitter for camera hop
Can you record stereo from only one transmitter by connecting a stereo mic like the azden smx-30 ? The smx -30 has two mode shotgun mono OR stereo for concert recording or wildlife. The idea is to send the stereo signals wirelessly to the receiver.
Hey, how are you doing? I just checked out your video and I think you’re doing an amazing job but one question is can you use this device on a GoPro or a Insta360 camera?
Can we increase the gain of transmitter
Do you know if the stereo output works with the lightning connection on iPhone? I believe the DJI mics merge them into a mono and wondered if these did the same
The lark max support stereo with iphone, it's a big pro.
Cool! Thank you..
You bet!
Do you know how to set ip up with the rodecaster duo?
Can you use this on the
DJI MINI 4 pro ?? TIA
Cool video
Would I be able to operate both in Stereo mode while recording on a Samsung s24 phone
This might be redundant, but if it is a 2 channel receiver I would assume then that it has a TRS stereo out, so I could make a cable adapting TRS to 2 XLR connecters allowing me to plug into 2 discrete input channels of a field mixer? Correct? Sounds pretty insane considering the price. . Thank you.
What is the phone speaker option all about?
The noise cancellation sold me!!! Take my 💵
Thanks for the video. The NR sounds terrible, otherwise looks like to be a good choice.
can you use this with a lav mic? basically plugged into the transmitter?
Yup!
Hey!!! 👋🏽 Dunna, do you have a video or know any videos on CZcams on how to pull the stereo sounds or how to edit audio with 2 person interview? Thanks 🙏🏽
The only one I think might touch on it is in this old video → czcams.com/video/B1f09IWnpEI/video.htmlsi=AsTq0HG2YBRsMDPH
@@dunnadidit Thanks 🙏🏽 a lot, my brother…you’re videos are all very informative and helpful in a fun crazy way 😉👍🏽🤣
Come back Dunna!!! Did you actually get to 820ft? If so, what happened? Seriously, great video, D! How does this compare to the DJI? I guess in post, it can be enhanced.
Hello, thanks for review, i would like to ask you - if you attach reciever to the camera with cable, is there any way to connect wired headphones to camera/reciever for audio check during/before shooting? I am new to audio system, so i hope you will understand me :)
Yes! There is a headphone output on the receiver as well! And some cameras have a headphone output to monitor audio too.
@@dunnadidit So the reciever has one audio input and one audio output yes?
Technically, it has two audio outputs, one for the camera, and one for headphones. The input comes wirelessly from the transmitter.
@@dunnadidit Greatz thank you! 😊
can i use this as an AUDIO SOURCE. I need an device to get the audio from the mixer and transmit it to my laptop
What if I want 6 of these running at the same time?
this thing is f amazing
i really would like to know if i could add a third microphone later of the same hollylark brand. like another max or m1 to the same reciever
Unfortunately it's only got the two channels so I don't think that's possible.
How they do against the new Rode Wireless Pro ?
You experienced any clipping with louder experiments or organic situations dude?
Did you do any post processing to the sound after? I was pleasantly surprised when you said your were using these mics the whole time
I did apply my typical process of eq and compression to them. So that’s not the raw sound, but I would pretty much never use the raw sound out of a lav in a practical sense. Hopefully that helps!
@@dunnadidit helps a lot. Do you have a video how you do your post processing? I have a hard time with that. I spend hours tweaking it and I'm never happy with the final result. I lose so much time on that. Btw thanks for always replying. Happy to be subbed here
I’m yet to do an audio process video. Part of the issue is that I have a background in audio engineering and music production, so I have a ton of fancy 3rd party plugins I use. When I do a tutorial, I’ll probably want to use the built in stuff. But hopefully I’ll get to it soon!
@@dunnadidit that would be an instant view for me. Thanks again for the responses!
Dunna, wondering about any latency. Thanks brother. 😊
I haven’t run into any issue with it! I haven’t been looking super hard but it hasn’t messed with any projects and I’m usually pretty aware of that stuff when it happens.
@@dunnadidit Great. Thanks again!
Any advice for someone who is stupid like me when it comes to tech. I bought these to start vlogging on my android. Do I need the receiver in my pocket when in use, and do I just clip the microphone to my shirt and do they connect via Bluetooth lol help thanks
Is it possible Connect with iPhone 14 Pro? Please reply.
Any audio drift issues when recording over 10+ min?
Hey I connected it to my iPhone and I can’t hear from mic
How do I connect it properly
I film on an android device... When i record dies the audio from the microphone stay in the video when being played back or woulf i have to manually sync the audio to footage
Noise cancellation is a nice touch however the DJI phone connection is much better imo for anyone wanting to hold the phone in their hand.
What is the exact name of the cable that I need to connect it with a android phone?
If this had the ability to jam and keep timecode for at least 14 hours I would sell all my wireless kits for this but sadly not, However, still seems like the best offering between Rode and DJI.
Thanks Dunna for this video. I currently use the Hollyland Lark 150 wireless system and I have never regretted making the purchase. But when DJI released their wireless mic, the one feature they introduced which I now see with this new Hollyland Lark Max is the internal recording on the transmitters. I would love to upgrade to the Lark Max but wanted to ask how you think it compares to the DJI wireless mic system.
Lark Max has a longer battery life, internal EQ, USB audio out from the receiver and slightly better sound (to me) I feel like that one is subjective. They both have 24bit float so it will depend which one you like more. Other than that, most features are the same, except the Lark Max is like $20-$30 less than DJI. I personally like the Lark Max more, but I would try them and return it if it doesn’t perform as well for you.
@@Christian-lu7kw thank you so much for sharing your experience. Very helpful
@@Christian-lu7kw dii wireless pro is 32 bit if that's what your referring to
What settings did you have the gain receiver and the transmitter level on?
Like to know that as well
@@westcoastsigns9675 I watched so many videos on mics and they never say what settings they used 😭😭 which is very important if the camera they use is the same one we use as well! I tried the gain on zero and the other setting at 0 as well! With my Sony zv1 camera on volume 12, it came out very clean! No clipping, I seen people keep the volume of the cameras at 10-18 depending on how loud someone speaks when It comes to wireless mics!
Odd that both links for this company result in security concerns from my browser! Looks like an awesome device though, excellent breakdown.
Ah shoot, that might be my link shortened, thanks for the heads up.
@@dunnadidithappy to help! Works now.
Hello. Once the recording is finalized, how do you get to a wav file? I guess you connect to your computer via USB and it pops up like a flash drive? Thank you. I am a comedian, and I am thinking of using this to record comedic bits while I walk around, ideas, etc. Let me know what you think. Thank you for your time.
That’s exactly it! USB plug in and it shows up!
@@dunnadidit hello and thank you for answering my question. So what I specified a use for it, what you think is good? If I am recording comedy bits I want it to be crystal clear to put out there. Regular recording devices seem to be less clear. I think this thing will be perfect my design. Appreciate your time.
Can it connect to a camera via hotshoes electronics ??? Without using 3.5mm jack . My camera does support that .. does this mic support that?
No, I think only Sony stuff can do that at this point
@@dunnadidit ohh ok and is getting this better or a rode shotgun mic better for vlogging
That depends on a lot of factors. If you’re super close to the camera and it’s always pointed at you. Then the shotgun will sound a bit better. This has more flexibility because you can be off camera or far away, but it doesn’t sound as good and it doesn’t pick up the surroundings as nicely.
@@dunnadidit thank you so much for the replies .
