DJI Mic vs Rode Wireless Go II vs Hollyland Lark M1 - What sounds the best?

[@johnpradeep6661]

Very well laid out video, nicely explained. I liked hollyland compared to the other two. DJI and Hollyland sound similar to me. I liked it because of its size. Please continue to help others with more of these video. Thank you.

[@Engearment]

Thank you very much!! Really appreciate your kind note. I will be happy to make more videos with AV gear too. Love helping others make better content. The Hollyland pack a nice punch for sure! Take care

[@HEYSERGYO]

Hey! Great video! do you know if it's possible to connect to your iPhone just using the classic white aux to lightning adapter? instead of buying the cable Thanks!!!!

[@aging1847]

Seems to me you’re being unfair to DJI to say you can’t close the case with the windscreen on it. Well, you can’t do that on the Hollyland either and the Rode doesn’t even have a recharging case. You don’t like the case, then do a direct charge of the transmitters thru the USB port.

[@Engearment]

I hear what you are saying. Hope it does not come across unfair. Just an observation. You are totally correct, you can just charge it via the port. Which is what I do 99% of the time. Take care!

[@sirgigolo]

The Hollyland holds up well and it significantly cheaper

[@ChrisParayno]

For $100, not bad

[@Engearment]

Agreed!

[@Kovaction]

Great comparison. We have been using the Wireless Go II as a travel vlogging couple for over a year and have a 3rd party charging case but just ordered the DJI system as the Rode has interference issues and is "clunky"... so prob selling that setup soon to somebody...

[@Engearment]

Thank you! You will like the DJI mics. They are much smaller and streamlined. All the best on your vlog!!

[@Kovaction]

@@Engearment We will have them tomorrow. The cold shoe clip weakness concerns us but we shall see... just subbed ya cuz we are gear junkies! LOL

[@Engearment]

@@Kovaction awesome! Thanks for the sub too! Hope you enjoy the gear reviews. 😊🙌

[@Abdallah453-t2t]

Audio better in rode

[@Kovaction]

@@Abdallah453-t2t we had to many disconnect issues with the Rode receiver as well as the DJI receiver 3.5mm cable. That led to countless hours of using backup files to re-sync audio in post. Now we're using the Pocket 3 with a completely wireless Mic 2 system to eliminate the wires.

[@aevoss]

Rode hands down sounds cleaner than all of them, unless you have the gain turned up on the DJI and the Holly. DJI and Holly sound gained up.

[@Engearment]

That is really good insight. And I agree. The Rode has been the most accurate sound over the last few years.

[@ww1www]

The Lark M1 having no internal recording and no jack for external microphones put them into a whole different category I think. Also, connectivity is another differentiator: the Rode and the DJI can act like USB microphones, I enjoy using the RODE with my smartphone connected through USB-C: it offers stereo recording capability on a smartphone and this way the audio circuitry of the phone is bypassed, all is high quality digital audio.

[@Engearment]

Good call on the internal recording. I actually never use that function. But I can see how that can be a plus for a lot of people. I have not used them as USB mics either, as I rely on my Sure SM7B (which is very nice! but overkill for many situations LOL) You bring up some really good points. Nice to see how you are using the gear. Take care!

[@MichaelKucher]

@@Engearment wait, you said you use the Lark M1 for zoom calls, how do you do that if not USB?

[@Engearment]

@@MichaelKucher good question! I use an audio interface (scarlet 2 in 1) for my zoom calls. I bring in music on channel 2 and the Lark, or whatever microphone, on channel 1.

[@MichaelKucher]

@@Engearment cool, thanks for the answer.

[@vivilin9932]

One feature you didn't mention for DJI is its magnetic part to attach to the clothes. It's more convenient sometimes.

[@Engearment]

That is a good point. The magnetic system can be very helpful!

@@Engearment Some glue may save you 100 usd.

[@brownyonwheels]

DJI > Hollyland > RODE

[@Engearment]

I like it.

[@Abdallah453-t2t]

Rode the best they are microphone company

[@brownyonwheels]

@@Abdallah453-t2t microphone company doesn’t mean they are best.

[@ARVIthereyet]

Shouldn't the microphone be on top of the shirt, not underneath it? I actually like the sound quality of the Hollyland Lark M1 the most. The audio from the others is significantly higher, but I think your sound is more similar to what the Hollyland Lark M1 offers.

[@Engearment]

Good question. I like the look of having it under the shirt so it does not distract the viewer.

[@ARVIthereyet]

@@Engearment I think it messes up the sound because it moves against your chest. It is heard in some places in your video. I would not do it...

[@Randomdudepk]

Hollyland M1 is better. Dji is expensive all have minor diference so no need to over think. Go for hollyland M1 is budget friendly use it make money and when money will comw something more better will come😊

[@Engearment]

Good call

[@Koraka_ARandomGuy]

[@gary7vn]

Hollyland sound is much richer than the Rode.

[@Engearment]

Good insight!

[@remektekmedia6641]

Hollyland sounds like you have a clip on your nose! Yikes. Also it doesn't have Lav input, so a no go for me! I have the RØDE already and is a keeper. I am considering the DJI as a backup. Thanks for the vid.

[@Engearment]

Good feedback! Sounds like you have a good system there. Take care!

[@MaskedMarble]

"Let me review the Hollyland..." later... "I'm not going to try the Hollyland noise cancellation..." OK, then, off to the next video that will actually review and compare the products and their capabilities.

[@Engearment]

I see what you are saying. But hear me when I say - I do not use noise canceling on ANY microphones. I do not recommend them. I use the mics in the way you see and hear in this video. You are welcome to go make a video on noise cancellation on mics. Please, go do that.

[@souls8tional]

To me the hollyland was the best in my opinion

[@Engearment]

Nice! It is also the lightest!

[@bbpptravel]

can any of these mic record true stereo audio on pocket 2?

[@Engearment]

Hello, I am not sure what the pocket 2 is, yet. So I am not sure.

[@nynini9879]

Thanks for the review! Question on transferring the files onto the computer, I know the Rode requires to use their program and can only transfer one file at a time while the DJI is allot more convenient where you can drag and drop multiple files w/o using any programs. I'm wondering how about the Hollyland? What is the transferring process like?

[@AshtonKenneth31]

curious as well

[@Engearment]

Hello! Great question. I do not use the internal recording on the mics that do have this function (I dont think the Hollyland has this function). So, I am not much help on this part of the systems. Sorry!

[@razzmou]

Hollyland doesnot have inbuilt recording feature.

[@Thefilmyfamily786]

Is m1 same as c1 in terms of audio quality recording?

[@mrbigdcampbell]

The noise cancelation on the m1 concerns me. Plus the lack of input for a lav microphone

[@Engearment]

100%. I do not use (or like) noise canceling features on mics. And I do like the ability to use a lav mic as well. Take care!

[@jackofalltrades12]

I lliked the Hollyland better than the Rhode but it did have more background noise. For my use, the Hollyland is the one for me. Thanks for the review.

DJI

[@marinevet7273]

For my non- professional use the Hollyland checks all the boxes for me

[@Engearment]

Heck yes 🙌

[@CampusProByTanvir]

What was your audio recording level (on camera) for the HollyLand?

[@Engearment]

I believe it was at 19 for the Sony camera

[@JustDisc]

Have to say, the whole wind mix not fitting into the case is so minor, it’s not even an argument.

[@Engearment]

Well, for me it’s a bigger deal. I leave the windscreen on my Rode mics everyday. It saves me a step. 👌

[@Engearment]

And having to store the windscreen in a separate pouch or location is an opportunity for me to loose them 😆

[@JustDisc]

@@Engearment one complaint I heard of that some people have mentioned is the clip on the receiver. It’s broken already for some

[@WillNewcomb]

I prefer the DJI, but either would be fine on KZbin if you were not comparing back to Back.

[@markshirley01]

Hi - can they all accept a lav mic

[@Engearment]

Hello! No, only the DJI and Rode can.

[@francesco_alexander]

Did you have to do any special set up for the Lark M1? Mine seems to not be working with my Canon EOS m50

[@Engearment]

It should work right out of the gate. There are a couple of different mic cables included, so perhaps try the other ones. Make sure the mics and receiver are on (I know, that is basic, but it does happen from time to time) I have not used Canon, but this mic system has worked with my Sony, Panasonic, and computers.

[@francesco_alexander]

@@Engearment yeah I used both cables (used the wrong one first lol) and the units were both on as well. My fear is that something is wrong with my audio jack on my canon

[@Engearment]

@@francesco_alexander Oh friend, that would really stink. Perhaps a firmware update for the Canon? Fingers crossed for you, that it is a simple fix!

[@francesco_alexander]

@@Engearment as do I - I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me and help me out my friend!

[@JustDisc]

It’s funny how everybody mistakenly says DGI, when it’s DJI lol

[@Engearment]

good call. I have no idea why I say it too, but I do. 😆

[@lvc394]

You can't connect a Lav to the M1. Other than that I think it sounds almost as good as the GO. I have a M1 and a GO, I also think the GO has a better range when a lot of interference is near( like cell phones ). As long as you are within 25 feet or an open field it should not be problem. The low end need a little help in post for me, but I mean very little help. I got mine for $115 on Prime Day and plan to use them to do some interviews. I have sound meters and a headphone jack on the ZV-E10 so the fact that it does not have meters is not a problem. As you could hear it could have a problem with hair noise from beards and long hair so you might want to use the wind hat at all times. I was happy with the buy and even if I do get something better later, I will always carry the M1 as a backup.

[@Engearment]

Good call! It is a really good mic. The zve10 screen is hard for me to see when using on sunlight. So I like having the meter on the DJI and Rode. Good points, and glad you are liking your set up(s)!! 🙌

[@dezfyah]

Great job!! Thanks for the video and comparison. You seemed to be biased in your opinion regarding Rode. You said the DJI would be perfect except for the wind screen inside the case, but Rode doesn't even have a case, its a lot bulkier, and the sound drops out in less distance than the DJI. The sound quality between the Rode and DJI sound great, thanks for doing the test. The Hollyland sounds better in comparison to others in its function and size, such as the Movo UC Duo, Ulanzi J12, and others. Great video and review!!

[@Engearment]

Thank you!! Much appreciated. Good insight on the Hollyland vs the other brands as well. Take care!

[@Engearment]

I am with you on that. Thanks for sharing!

[@ethantrexler6169]

Thanks for the great review & video! I have an odd sort of use for such a mic; I want to record sleep-talking. I suppose I could clip the mic to my shirt collar (I am a side-sleeper, so I don't think it would present a comfort problem). I could also use the 2 mics (stereo mode) and clip one to each side of my pillow. I'm not sure how strong the clips are - whether they would remain attached all night. I'm using a Galaxy A51 Android 12 phone. I would like to be able to record only when I talk, and there are several apps available for that purpose; however, I also play a nature soundtrack (rushing stream) while I sleep, so I don't know whether I can set the app to ignore the background noise and record only when I talk. I suppose I could try the noise cancelling feature on the mics, but I have my doubts about that working. I might also want to record audio continuously to my Windows 10 PC using Reaper DAW. I would of course need to edit the file in Reaper to avoid having to listen to 6 hours of noise with a few moments of talk. That is very easy to do in the DAW, so I'm not concerned about it. From your review, I believe this system will work. I may only need 1 mic, but I like the package that includes 2 mics and the charging case, plus the USB C adapter for my Android phone. One other thing: Which method would you use to record to Windows PC? The 3.5mm connected to the mic input on my PC, or the USB-C adapter? I assume that if I use the adapter, Windows will recognize the mic and allow me to route audio from it into Reaper (or any other app). I apologize for the long comment, but I have never used any of these mics before. Thanks Ethan Edit: I note in the Hollyland Mark 1 description on Amazon, it states that the 3.5mm to USB-C adapter is not included in the kit; in addition, it states that their adapter will not work for Samsung phones (I have the Galaxy A51), and to purchase the adapter from Samsung. Can you think of a reason another brand adapter would not work? I went to the Samsung store, and found the adapter, but it doesn't get good reviews, so I am hesitant to purchase it.

[@Engearment]

Hello! What a unique situation you have hear. I love it! I wish I had better information to provide you, but I don’t think I have the best answers for you. I have used the mics with the 3.5mm to usb, as well as through a FocusRight Scarlett usb interface. I have not used them via usb directly. So can’t speak to the functionality. And, I am a Mac user. 😆. I am sticking out on being helpful in your situation 🙃 I would love to learn how this project turns out though. Can you teach us how you wind up setting this all up? Thanks! 🙌

[@jechojoven5185]

Surprisingly Lark M1 sounds fuller than the rode go2.. or maybe it was just set at high gain for the lark M1.That is a deal breaker right there.

[@Engearment]

Agreed. It is hard to know what level the Hollyland is set at, as there is no meter or level on it. Regardless, it provides a very full sound. Thanks for the nice note.

[@iwe1590]

DJI sounds the best, Hollyland 2nd and Rode 3rd.

[@liquidmocofilmsllc4915]

You use the dji and rode for professional work? Wireless systems are usually not the way to go for professional work. I can't imagine a movie director using lavs instead of a dedicated WIRED boom mic.

[@Engearment]

Yes, I use them all the time for work. I am using them this weekend for a live seminar as well. They usually work fine. We are not working with movie directors though. LOL. If you are, then you are probably also working with a boom operator. Good on you!

[@GregDravenActor]

Can you put the deadcat on the cheap mic while it's in the case? That's seemed to be a huge deal for you. I'm surprised you didn't mention it at all.

[@Engearment]

Nope. It is a snug fit in its case as well. I hope it does not come across like it’s a huge deal. I wind up using the DJI most of the time. I just keep the receiver on the camera and clip one mic with dead cat onto the mic cable until ready to use. Keeping the other mic in the case to charge.

[@HoxBhai]

I think u should also try Boya xm6 s2 . However here my my thoughts In wireless microphone u have 2 categories. Either u are on a budget or u need a smaller microphone. Rest ie best sound , internal recording system , battery and larve attachment etc are 2ndry option group. So lets consider u are very low on budget and requires a light microphone HollyLand is the winner starting at 150$ Boya XM6 S2 on 2nd 170-199$ Rode and DJI are not recommended. However if u can cope with size but need good quality but are still on a budget. Going for a Rode wireless 1 for 120-165$ is a great option. Followed By Boya XM6 .

[@Engearment]

Great insight! I have used Boya before. Good value. I will look into that particular mic. I think there are even more in the lower price category. But I would not refined them for most people. Take care!

[@dingpongcrate]

I just started my youtube channel. Thank you for the comparison. It seems DJI and hollyland seem almost close to audio. right now hollyland m1 is on sale for $120 and I was looking for hollyland lark c1. what do you think of hollyland lark c1?

Congrats on the new channel! That is super exciting. Have fun with it! I hate not used that one. But I think the Hollyland is a great deal. Especially with that price.

[@jayneveillette6693]

Thanks a lot for the reviews, it's super helpful! Have you tested it out by going further away from the camera? (especially the hollyland). I know that the DjI delivers an amazing sound even if you go pretty far from the camera, so I was curious about the hollyland.

[@MrGShave]

Hi, thanks for the video. I currently use a Zoom H1n for my videos. I have it attached on a bracket off to the side of my Sony ZV1. I have been thinking about using wireless mics for a while now but I am still hesitant as my channel is a shaving channel and therefore involves alot of water💦💦💦 Are any of these mics splash / water resistant?

[@Engearment]

Hello! I need to check out your channel. I am a fan of safety razors and good blades. 👌 Great question! I don’t think any of these are going to be water resistant. I think having your mic as close as possible, but not in the path of the water, will be good. A lot of KZbinrs have a mic just out of frame. The zoom could even work. That was a great little mic. Hope some of this helps! Good luck on your channel too 🙌

[@diannasloyer]

But you can use a quality lav with the rode...way better sound and that clip is huge compared to a lav. rode lasts 24 hrs so no need for a charge on the day. Way better feedback on the transmitter

[@Engearment]

Hello! Thanks for the nice note. Yes, you can use a lav mic plugged into the Rode. But no way it lasts more than 5 hours in real life. Trust me, I use the Rode, DJI and other mics for work and they do not last 24 hours. I would bet on 5 hours max for these. Especially if your paycheck counts on it.

Hello sir. I'm a Colorado creator as well. I do a lot with no shirt and move in a way that wont keep the mic on me. I'd like to have the mic 4 to 5 feet away. Do you know if it would create clear sound in that way? Thanks.

[@Engearment]

Hey Colorado, buddy! I feel you on that. We do a lot of Movnat and shirt-free work over here, too. I think if you keep the windscreen on and talk in a clear manner, you should be ok. You can always boost it in post-production as well. That is what we do 80% of the time. Hope that helps!

I noticed you knocked off points for the DJI Mic for not being able to fit the transmitters with the windscreens on in the charging case, but made no mention of that same issue with the hollylands. I just bought mine and was kind of bummed out they don't fit in the case with them on.

What's the average range that you use your mike set-up? What is the maximum effective range on the DJI, Rode GO II & Hollyland?

[@Engearment]

I use the move within several feet - 50 ft of the receiver. The longest I have used them is during a seminar at our gym. With the presenter walking the entirety of 5000sq space. Worked well. Only time I had a drop out was when using 4 sets at once, with lots of camera and computer gear, With a hundred people in the space. More interference than distance. Hope that helps!

[@agomodern]

Rode mic is too big, but saw the DJI and then the Hollyland and really like the sleeker look. Hollyland did sound a little tinny, but I can't pay over $300 for the DJIs.

[@Engearment]

Yep. Hollyland is very sleek. Sound is not as good in some cases as the DJI or Rode though. Good enough for most uses.

[@jonycine]

Which of these 3 recommendations for a movie, to take sound from the acotres?

[@Engearment]

Any of these would work well. If you are looking for discrete, the Rode and DJI can accept a lav mic. If you want simple, the M1 is small and sounds good.

Am I the only one that thinks the dji sounds super tinny and much prefer the hollyland?

[@iamconnorwoods]

Does the Hollyland have onboard recording rather than having to transmit to the transmitter? If I'm not mistaken the DJI mic can record straight to the mic and not needed to transmit and I was hoping the same for the Hollyland! Thanks!

[@Engearment]

Hello!! You are correct on the internal re riding - fox both DJI and Rode. Which a lot of people find helpful. I personally do not use that feature though. As far as I know, there is no o herbal recording on the Hollyland.

[@iamconnorwoods]

@@Engearment Appreciate the reply! I have a follow up question! Can you transmit and record with the Hollyland mics without the transmitter being plugged into a recording device (i.e. a camera, DJi controller). For example, if I am using multiple cameras but want to have the audio recorded separately from all cameras, can I use the two mics and transmit the audio to the receiver without it being plugged into any of the cameras and record the audio? Then obviously sync the audio up after the fact. Or does the transmitter piece need to be plugged into one of the cameras or some device in order to record and save the audio? Thanks!

[@Engearment]

@@iamconnorwoods great question! I believe the receiver needs to be plugged into some sort of recording device. (Camera, recorder, etc.)

[@iamconnorwoods]

@@Engearment I appreciate it! Yeah as I was asking the question I thought to myself, hmm even if it needs to be plugged into something I can just get a stand alone audio recorder to plug it in to in order to record my audio on its own! I will say I love the fact the DJi mics have local recording, might just spend the extra cash on them just for that convenience. The quality in order between them and the Hollyland does not entice me to spend twice the amount, it's not that noticeable IMO. However that functionality will just be less headache and less gear I would need for what I want to do! Thanks again for answering my questions!

[@onlymyopiniontech]

@@iamconnorwoods one other thing to consider. You can figure out which of your cameras has the quietest preamp and put the receiver into it. It’s pretty easy to extract the audio track in most editing software.

[@Engearment]

That’s a great idea! I will do that for the next comparison video.

[@FerdinandDivinagracia]

Does Hollyland record internally?

[@Engearment]

No

Had the rode. Gifted it to my daughter in law with ALOT of extras including a charging case purchased separately that also charges other misc. usb items. The rode was too bulky for me. Happy with the hollyland and godox!

[@denniseazura9488]

Thanks for the video. Did you find some problems Lark M1 so far? I'm interested to Lark M2 though. However, I'm not sure if it is has excellent durability since it is tiny.

DJI mic’s are impossible to get. I ordered one months ago and they kept changing the delivery date. I had to finally cancel. Sad.

[@Engearment]

I hear you. I had been on a wait list for over a month. I found these on BH and grabbed them.

[@onlymyopiniontech]

They must have a better supply now. I ordered two sets and they came the next day.

[@JGuill]

hollyland sounds amazing

[@Engearment]

👌🙌

[@airadaimagery692]

Looking for audio advice for starting a fishing KZbin channel. I have a Sony a6600, a Go Pro 5 black and a Theta Z1 360 camera. I’m kind of stretched budget wise, so I’m looking for an affordable audio solution, if I’m filming myself, and one other person. Any suggestions?

[@tremblemcp]

great vid... ima troll by saying D G I... lol its D J - (jay) I..

[@Engearment]

Thanks man. I know, I know. I miss said it so many times. Probably have for years. But I have corrected my ways now. LOL. Take care

[@tremblemcp]

@@Engearment hifive.. I’m just trolling.. glad u took it in stride.. best to you bro!

Video quality - 10 Review quality - 0

[@Engearment]

Hmm. Did you not read the title?

[@realrobprice]

Have you edited the audio for the DJI? Or is it raw? Mine sounds terrible when clipped to my neck like yours, it only sounds good when held up to my mouth

[@sm0g-810]

You should clip the mic near your chest so you don't get all vibration from your larynx

[@fmesj]

What do you think of Hollycow Mark II? Mark 1 is Ok for me.

[@Engearment]

I am not aware of the holy cow mark 2. Sounds underlay fascinating though! 🐄😆

[@fmesj]

@@Engearment Great review, may be they are coming soon of Mark II..its Holymark not holly cow.Lol.

[@Engearment]

@@fmesj 😆😆. I had a fun time reading that. I just put together another comparison video on these mics and a few others. I will check with @hollyland to see if they have an updated model coming out too!

[@fmesj]

i found out there is Holyland C1 for iPhone with lightning connection.. is M1 not compatible with iPhone 13 like mine?

[@FighterDaily]

Great Review and very helpfull. Thank you

[@Engearment]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the nice note!

[@tarekabdel-naby9709]

which sound quality do you prefer, DJI or Rode?

[@janschelbech2567]

No external mic input is a dealbreaker to me. Otherwise excellent buy. Nice review.

[@Engearment]

Good call on that. Thanks for the nice note!

[@jcjamlig]

This is for which?

[@EstherNnamdi]

Can the hollyland mic work on canon m50 ii ?

[@Engearment]

I would think so. If it has a mic input, it should work.

[@EstherNnamdi]

@@Engearment thanks

[@afngsjsykeyi]

Woww that's is nice video!! I'd love to get it. But I also want to know about Synco G2A2. How about it?

[@Engearment]

Thank you! I have not heard of that one yet. Let me look into it. Thanks for the idea!

[@MensHealthMedia]

Have you used a lavalier with any of those systems? Especially the rode n dji ? What’s the experience if so ?

[@Engearment]

I have and they work quite well. I don’t think the Hollyland has an output for lav though.

[@MensHealthMedia]

@@Engearment and which one out of the Rode and Dji would you choose today if you were to pick one?

[@Engearment]

@@MensHealthMedia I find myself using the DJI more often than the Rode. It is smaller and fits better in my collar. If I was going to use wiry a lav, then I would go with either one. Hope that helps!

[@MensHealthMedia]

@@Engearment super appreciate the help. Grabbing that dji asap. Thanks.

[@Engearment]

@@MensHealthMedia Awesome! I hope you enjoy the heck out of it. Take care

[@VicJo]

very very helpful, as like me on a budget. I'll go for Hollyland, just purchase after I've watched this. Cheers!

[@Engearment]

Thank you!! Very happy this helped. Enjoy the Hollyland!
