I now have both, and the sound quality of the Rode is noticeably better. Sounds less flat, and much better at reproducing the true sound. A few other things I didn't care for on the Lark. 1) unless you lock the settings every time you use the system, it's very easy to change a setting inadvertently while going through the menu 2) the noise cancellation can be nice, but seems to get confused and overreacts in certain situations. Example, walking near a waterfall it overcorrects and cancells your voice as well. I've found I trust it more when turned off 3) The Lark receiver is so much larger than the Rode, making it much more noticeable on the camera. I definitely prefer the low profile and smaller overall size of the Rode. The case is nice, but a variety of inexpensive charging cases are available for the Go ii. Bottom line, the Go ii is slightly more expensive overall, but it seems Rode puts the $$$ into a higher quality system.
Thank you for the informative video! Something I didn't get: is it possible to use other brands lavalier mic with these systems? Or I can only use the rode lavs with the rode wireless go etc?
It was a toss up between DJI, Hollyland and Rode. I had the opportunity to get a Rode wireless pro for under $300 and leaped at the chance. Aside from the interface on the dji and hollyland the Rode pro adds so many more features that others cannot touch. Great video.
Did you try buying a new lav mic, a small investment here will significantly increase quality, a well engineered capsule matched with low impedance cable will help a great deal
