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.

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.

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?

@cris_photography 3 месяца назад

Thank you 🙏 Yep, that’s right. One does left and one does right (in stereo mode). Take care 😉

@SengKit 2 месяца назад

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?

@cris_photography 2 месяца назад

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

@internchanel Месяц назад

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 ?

@cris_photography Месяц назад

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.

@sergiubn 3 месяца назад

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.

@cris_photography 3 месяца назад

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

@user-nw3pf4pn6k 3 месяца назад

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 )

@cris_photography 3 месяца назад

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

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

@cris_photography 11 дней назад

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 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 😊

Can you use it for phone calls or discord on android and iphone?

@cris_photography 3 месяца назад

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 🫣

@T_Armstrong Месяц назад

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!?

@cris_photography Месяц назад

Yes only mono in mobile mode - sorry 😕

@T_Armstrong Месяц назад

@@cris_photography Appreciate your response. Big oversight from Hollyland imo. Would have been perfect.

@T_Armstrong Месяц назад

@@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?

After recording 2 mics, can I separate 2 audios?

@cris_photography 17 дней назад

You can record mono or stereo, but you won’t have separate tracks afterwards though

@Eric-lh6wp Месяц назад

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?

@cris_photography 25 дней назад

It does sound much better than a phone, yes. Not sure about HiFi though, need to check 🤔
