I have been using the Lark M1 for a while now and I thought they couldn't do any better... I was wrong!
Tested these with an iPhone 13 mini, outdoor, indoor, etc. and man are they amazing.

One of the best review of this product on CZcams! Well done Cris!
Thanks mate - much appreciated!
Your review gives more detail and considers more real-world issues that may come up. Very useful and realistic to what creators need to know. Thank you!
Awesome - glad it was helpful! Take care
Couldn't agree more - an incredible wireless set that has insane usability.
💯
Awesome explanation dude ❤
Thanks man ! Glad it was helpful
great review, greetings from Geneva
Thanks! Cheers from Lignerolle 😅
Very cool. I think these are my next purchase.
Awesome!
I found some 14mm plastic sticky disks that fit over the magnet side . If you want to hide the mic inside a collar or something and have the magnet on the outside . They are for covering screws on furniture etc , for carpenters , found by accident in a hard ware shop , perfect for these mics , easy to take off too.
Cool - nice tip thanks! 😊 take care
I think it would be useful to have these along with the DJI Mic 1s. The DJI mainly cause sometimes it's still useful to have a standalone mic that records internally. There are times I had a wireless mic recording and I wished I had the audio from the camera recorded as well. If they were able to make a mic this size with internal recording as well, that would be game over.
Oh yes, I hear ya! Let’s hope for it in the next version!
Hello! Great video! Thank you! How does stereo mode work on a camera? Is one microphone recorded on the L channel and the other microphone recorded on the R channel?
Thank you 🙏
Yep, that’s right. One does left and one does right (in stereo mode). Take care 😉
hi i am interested to know how the sounds from two mic are recorded, are they in separated files or 1 file with left & right audio channel?
Thanks. They record the audio together with the video (no separate track). You can set them to either mono or stereo and use one for left and one for right. Take care
@@cris_photography thanks for the answer!🙏
Thanks for your review ! But I have some questions, if you lose transmission does this mic have an intern saving or no ? What about a case with an interview of 2 people does it worth it or no ?
Thanks. No, no internal storage here. I shoot all my podcasts using them (2 people) and it’s great. Take care
All the options that have that are at least 100 dollars more.
great vid. Can you use the camera transmitter on a phone using a USB-C to USB-C ? ( if one didn't buy the phone bundle )
Thanks man. I don't have an iPhone 15 (or any other phone with USB-C) so what I did is I tried with my iPad Air 2022 and yes, you can do it and it works! ;) cheers
brilliant, thanks for letting me know @@cris_photography 👊
this was the question I needed answered 👍
@@cris_photography thanks man. I have been searching the internet for this and you had the answer.
One interesting question about M2, can you use simultaneously one mic with camera receiver and one mic with the phone receiver, well, in different locations away from each other...
Or what happens if you connect both the camera receiver and the phone receiver in the same location? Nobody tested that, and it would be interesting to know... Thank you.
Thanks and no, didn't try that indeed!
The primary reason is that I dont need to have 2 devices recording at the same time in different locations (do you know a case when you would?) and if so (lets say 2 people work together and recording in separate places at the same time) I'd get a one mic kit with the iPhone plug and one mic kit with the camera receiver, that way you have 2 kits that can be used at the same time in different locations.

as for the camera AND the phone connector in the same location, no you can't I tried. It's either or, in fact the audio went on the camera receiver and prioritized that over the phone receiver.
Take care
Can you use it for phone calls or discord on android and iphone?
I didn’t try that! But why would you want to do that? Meaning, if your phone is away, how do you hear the person? Speaker? On that case you can talk and they will hear you no? I can do the test but not sure how 🫣
It caught my attention when you said that you've already user M1 for a year. I'm considering between M2 vs Saramonic Blink 500 B2 Plus. I really like the sound produced by M2 but there is no built in clip and its tiny size makes me think its fragile. Do you habe any minus when you use M1 or M2? Do you think M2 is worthier than Blink 500 B2 plus? Thanks
Hello! Funny enough I own the Saramonic 500b2 pro as well but never used them (still in the package - didn’t have time to review them). There are clips on the M2 as well and I use them all the time now as my main on-the-ho mics. They are fabulous and honestly the form factor makes it better over any other mic currently for me. Take care!
@@cris_photography Thanks for your quick response. Do you think the magnet in Lark M2 might disappear?
@denniseazura9488 what you mean desapear?
@@cris_photography Do you think the magnet might lose the magnetism? I think we should attach them all with magnet. There's no built in clip.
@denniseazura9488 oh that! No it won’t, pretty confident. There is a clip that is attached magnetically and it works great 😊
I heard the Hollyland m2 gives HIFI quality recording sound. Is this true? Does it give a much better sound than the microphone of your telephone?
It does sound much better than a phone, yes. Not sure about HiFi though, need to check 🤔
@@cris_photography thanks Cris!
Does anyone know if I can record split mono (as a stereo file) using the USB-C phone receiver (android)? For example into an audio recording app like the 'motiv' or similar.
I cant seem to find anyone testing this and its kind of a deal breaker.
Thanks!
EDIT: The manual says "The mobile version only supports mono mode."
Which is the unfortunate deal breaker I was dreading. WHY!?
Yes only mono in mobile mode - sorry 😕
@@cris_photography Appreciate your response. Big oversight from Hollyland imo. Would have been perfect.
@@cris_photography Actually, what about sending to a phone from the usb-c port on the 'camera version' module? Would that work? Or is it a function reserved solely for the TRS output?
Does the camera model can output in type c to Android phone?
Didn’t try on android but since it’s USB-C I very much believe it can. Take care
@@cris_photography you are the most responsive youtuber I have seen in this year, subscribed happily!
Btw, how serious you are about CZcams? Do you plan to grow it further? Just asking to know .
@diginomad6016 hey man, thanks appreciated. I have been at it for years and will keep going 😉
hollyland lark m2 internal recording available?
Unfortunately not
After recording 2 mics, can I separate 2 audios?
You can record mono or stereo, but you won’t have separate tracks afterwards though
Nice product what about risk service
What you mean ?
"...same as my hands, I can't feel them" 😂
😂🥶
What was the soccer players name ?
Ronaldo 😁😁😉
