Review: Hollyland Lark M1 wireless microphone 

Maybe the best review I've ever seen of any tech. Precise, clear, and well planned tests.

By far the BEST review I’ve seen on this mic. Will be using your affiliate link when it comes time to purchase! Thank you, my friend 🫡

Amazing review, and I almost clicked away from it thinking it was computer synthetized voice in the start :D

Mate, i never comment on youtube videos, but i'm very impressed with how clearly and concisely you speak and explain things. no ums or ahs. Great work. Keep it up, I gave you a sub

God I wish other reviews were as clear and concise. Full marks!❤

One of the best tech reviews I've ever watched thank you.

This was THE MOST informative review. And I’ve watched quite a few. I want to use it for lectures and the price/sise/ease of use sounds perfect. Thanks for this!

I like the multiple tests you did which I really need.

This is the best review that I’ve watched for hollyland mic! You have explained it properly and did multiple tests indoor/outdoor. Very informative and good content! Keep it up!

This is a fantastic review that really helped me out in choosing what I needed for my budget. Thank you very much for such a comprehensive presentation of the features.

One of the best rviews Ive seen on them, just ordered some!

This was a spectacular review and I am very grateful to you for it. Thank you.

Thanks a lot! The sis the most useful and on subject review about the mic! I enjoyed watching as long as the getting useful information given along!

Nice review, you also had a very logical and thorough process to your testing! And thank-you for mentioning the one feature I wasn't able to find anywhere else; recording in stereo, where each mic can be recorded to a separate channel instead of being premixed. Subscribed.

Hats off to your efforts 👍... Thank you so much for this review, very useful.... big 👍to you

You, Sir, are the best. As someone starting with video editing and filming, this is very valuable. Thank you

I wish all reviews were as clear and concise as this one is. I look forward to more like this. Thanks from Ottawa, Canada.

Thanks for this amazing video! It really helped. Especially the wind test etc. was ... wow.

Thanks this is a really good review and one of the best sounding, not sure why one of the other videos I watched doesn't sound as good as yours.

Brilliant comprehensive review of this, thanks.

Thank you for this video it has been the most helpful and detailed video out of everyone you definitely deserve more views (:

Thanks a lot buddy! Great review. Felt honest and the test were awesome

Great Review! In fact, the best on Lark M1 I could find. Thank you.

Very thorough and concise review! Thank you kindly! Canada tips the hat in appreciation.

Excellent review. Well done

Thank you I appreciate this review, as I am on the look out for a decent but not budget breaking lapel mic to start with.

Very thoughtful info here thanks!

Great review, thanks for the info!

Amazing review!!! Thank you so much

wow you're absolutely everywhere! I love the narrow boat content!

Brilliant review. Thank you

Great review! Thanks.

Great review, very i depth. Helps alot when deciding what to buy!

Excellent review!

Great review, just purchased M1 dual for my Canon EOS R50 camara.

These seem very well made and thought out. I do wish you could plug in your own lav mic though

Cheers David

Thanks from Chicago

good review, thank you!

Amazing Review

Nice and clear. Your review reminds me of a Tomorrow’s World presenter explaining what MIDI or a MODEM is. 😂👍

There are so many options now for wireless mics. Though I’m a non audiophile I’d be pretty happy with most without having to go into DJI price territory. I actually have a Fulaim X5.

Wonderful review, thanks so much! Do you happen to know if you are recording more than two people, would two sets of Holland kits work together in tandem to record 4 people? Thanks so much.

I really enjoyed this review! I like your humor along the way which kept the review more interesting! How would the noise cancelation help with echos. I film in my shop which echos. Thanks!

Bought it recently. This video helped me understand it so much better! I'm happy becausey budget wouldn't allow a better option. Only thing I'm curious about is what happens when the battery of the transmitter or the receiver runs out. Does it have any indication or does it just die out?

Thanks Man! This is the best perfect review ot this product. Thanks for it! I have been hesitated betveen this and the Wireless Go II, but looks like this is the better value for that money! Thanks anyway! ;) Oldman

Nice video

Wind test was the best lol but very well done thank you

Thanks David. I couldn't hear any noise in any of the self-noise tests. Not sure if it's my cheap speakers, I'm going deaf or a combination of the two.

Perfect review a,though it would have helped to see a demonstration of how to make the a stereo pair. I’ve lost the manual sadly.

The noise cancelling was very good. This could be perfect for a Vlogger. Thanks.

Thanks for your video! How did you reduce the white noise with this microphone with the Sony zv e10 and keep the volume high?

Wow this is good for the acoustic guitar tutorial.

One, if not the only, useful review I have encountered. You feel when you listen and see the tests that it is a neutral and honest review, contrary to the clowns out there. Plus, I admire the British sense of humour, so unique

THANKS

Great video! Can you connect it to your iphone simply using the classic white aux-to-lightning cable? (instead of buying the specific cable from Hollyland, that connects the transmiter to the iphone) THANKS!!!

Do you have any recommendation for post processing with this mic 🎤 bought it but struggling with getting the best sound after.

These sound great to me but I would have liked a 3.5 mm jack input so that I could connect to the aux out of a mixer to get the house sound into my camera.

I need Help. So I recorded a video with the receiver connected to the camera, I recorded with the two mics. How do I output the external audio onto video editing

Hi hope all is well! Do you know if these couldnt work alongside the Rode Interview GO handle?

Sir, could you reveal what application / settings do you use to reduce the noise floor? So far every app I've tested makes the sound sound "underwater".

very well done ! unfortunate for me, backup recording is a must.

Hello Sir! I have bought the Lark M1 few days ago, normally I need to use single mic, but it produces a single channel audio. Though I can change it to dual channel in post, is there any way to record multichannel audio (L & R both) using a single mic?

Could you give your inputs regarding this or the cheaper single tx model What's the use of two if you aren't going to interview anyone

On the Rx - what's the difference between the 1 blue light being on vs 2 lights being on. I've been trying to do Facebook lives but still getting alot of ambient sound. Rx has one blue light on during recording. Hoping for a resolution

are there any difference if I plug the receiver directly to the camera, or plugo it to a 32bit recorder input like zoom f2 and use the f2 output to plug into the camera.. does this affect the record in any way?

I have just purchased this microphone and it should be delivered today via Amazon. I am wondering now, what is the best way to connect the receiver to my Behringer 1204 USB Audio mixer? The mixer has XLR, 1/4" and RCA inputs but does not have any 3.5mm inputs. Thanks for any advice.

Ha, I was looking for reviews on the Hollyland Lark M1 and who should pop up but 'cruising the cut' 😄. I understand the M1's are not waterproof but I'd like to use them as part of my fishing RU-vid channel - where they will be used in damp to wet conditions out on the boat. Any thoughts on the M1's suitability for outdoor use?

Did you enhance the audio in post?

Would love an underwater cam where the carouses are thrown. :)

Could I buy 2 additional microphones and connect them to the receiver so that I have 4 total microphones sending audio to my camera?

David....? What? I thought I recognised the voice... im getting images of canals and toe paths and didn't know why. Now i do! #cruisingthecut

Thank you for your extremely indepth review. I really am not very technically minded whatsoever, and perhaps you could help - but I bought this set of microphones about two months ago and whenever I have tried to film a clip with a high speed piece of machinery (for example a food mixer or a sewing machine) whirring in the background it starts off sounding normally and then it ends up sounding like some sort of robotic sound and then fades right out, even without me speaking during the times the machines are operating. This is the same with the noise reduction switched on or off. Hollyland were not helpful at all - they said I should use a mobile phone for recording sound with the machine and use their microphone for recording voice (!!!!!). I heard you mention something about sound cards - do you think it could be something to do with what I'm plugging the receiver into....? It's being plugged into my laptop and I'm using a webcam to record the clips directly into the laptop (unfortunately the webcam doesn't have a facility to accept an external mic)

Cheers! Im having some problems with these mics and i think you re the right person to solve me this question! I connect the hollyland receiver with TRS to Usb C adapter on my DJI Osmo Action 3, and i set stereo mode to get from one microphone my voice, and another microphone the exhaust pipe sound, but in post production when i open the audio file, it gives me two separated channels but the audio is the same on both, it mix the both microphones into one and doubles it.. this is correct? how can i get one microphone audio separated from the another microphone audio? Thanks!

Why does it need connected to a camera or phone? Can it not record on itself?

Do you know if they work with the gopro 7

3:47 how to do change from separate mono track to mix mono track?? thanxxx

Is there a way to monitor the sounds by headphones?

❤ 👏👏

Can it pickup eating

Usb sound card in built in receiver ?

It go with wifi to pair the unit? Thank you

i did not get how to make one mic in stereo. you mentioned but you don't give a tutorial how

Is the sound quality c1 vs m1 same?

How to set up with gopro 12 black ? Please help Thank you

i have these -- Q: should i use stereo mode for a podcast with two people speaking?

I called this cr** but it's not. Usage of correct cables will sort out problems with sound recordings. Splendid review. However, one should supply needed cables. I had to buy a 3,5/usb-c for my phone.

Noise reduction is poo poo caa caa but I agree use it for short range with out noise reduction and it does the job, I am betting it feels like a light weight cheap toy.

The holly land sounds better to me I’m sorry

DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPORT AUDIO

Don’t buy it. It’s useless for vlogging

No offence but I have to take in consideration one star reviews on amazon rather than a guy promoting the company with an affiliate link no matter what he claims. But entertaining video.

Thanks for another informative and entertaining review, David! For my needs, I'll have to choose the Rode Wireless Go because of its backup feature.
