Hollyland Lark M1 Microphone, A DJI Alternative?

[@jambononi]

Bear in mind, a longer range will also mean there's a stronger signal when there are objects in the way too. So if you shoot a wedding with hundreds of people between you and the mic and then the groom turns his back to the receiver, a longer range will make it less likely for the signal to cut out. This also means that 'even' if it cuts out you also have the backup recording on the DJI. So you're less likely to lose signal and even less likely to lose the audio. However, if you're not in big event situations or have a mic on a talent who's walking about all over the place and you won't know when or where they'll say something interesting (like a documentary) then you may as well get the Hollyland! They seem pretty solid to me!

As an owner of 2x brands .. The hollyland audio does distort with distance between the ( RX-TX ) on 2x models just as any line of sight equipment would do.. the audio does have some interesting features but other than the noise cancellation is superb on the DJI audio the holly land works better in quiet areas such as this video can be seen.. real world noise can definitely make a difference between the brands.. its totally up to the user to decide on the price point..

[@ErinJameson]

To be honest, I prefer the texture of the DJI box, which looks simpler and more fashionable.

Gym Teacher joining the squad!!!!! Awesome job dude! Background looks great and loved your drone shots.

Like your back drop.

[@DevonDoesTech]

Thank you for the great comparison! Been looking at these for a while now.

[@Lugosidtvplus]

I really enjoyed watching this, very informative Thank you for staking time and effort to carry out that field practical test. I'm subscribing now

[@meharsalman2076]

Hi friend, nice review. And the cameras used (Indoor and outdoor) please include their links too.

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

Cameras used: Sony A7iii and Sony A7iv

[@Tezzachel]

We're using these on on channal now and for the money i suppose they are ok but loud audio does distorts like crazy ! A good example is when I laugh you can hear the audio breaking up. I think these are perfect for quiet enviroments but can't handle much noise pressure. Anyway, great review Jason thanks for sharing 👍 All the best

[@gregm.857]

Which system distorts and can't handle loud audio? DJI system? Or Hollyland system?

[@MyEscapePOV]

Good comparison

[@JessieRN]

wowee this video looks very crisp and now i know so much about these products :)!!

[@KidPersepolis]

Thank you so much for this review, it’s possibly the most concise one I’ve seen, and definitely helped me make up my mind:) I just ordered them, and I’ll be off to the Middle East for a few months of travel next week. I am subscribing, but I’m not counting on having any internet while I’m abroad. Next time I’m here, hope we have 10 times as many subscribers.

[@nataliazorinliu]

Great review. Thanks!!

[@JohnFixes]

Nice video... just curious how you filmed your opening. Was someone filming you as you walked?

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

Yeah, I had someone walking with me

[@ObsessionChange]

Your video is the best review I've seen on the Hollyland! Thanks for making my decision so easy

[@Atrip111]

Did not hear if mentioned if sd card in mic can record to. If so sold when can. Not connecting to camera or phone. Seeing cheap ones w plug in usb. Dont think my camera would accept. Saw someone mention not good w high noise. Id be motovlogging so maybe not. More research.

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

yeah neither of these would be ideal for motovlogging. The DJI can record independently, but finding a place in helmet would be tough.

[@estradaj777]

The Comica Vimo appear to be a way better deal.

[@jacksonmoore7760]

Great comparison!! I’m going to have to take into consideration getting the Hollyland mics

[@rajmichael9153]

Perfect thanks man

[@trvlr002]

Thanks very much for the informative video. Do you know if these work on an Osmo Action 3?

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

I havent been able to play with an osmo. But if it has a mic input I would think so.

[@trvlr002]

@@Jsanderfordphoto yeah - it's apparently a known issue. So many of these that "should" work with action 3, don't. I've tried the Comica Vimo C3 as well and that's similar to this Hollyland (I think) and it won't work. There's a lot of complaints about this on the DJI forums. I was hoping that this Hollyland would work because I don't want to shell out almost $500 for the DJI ones - and they're not even that nice.

[@reedeema]

Love my M1s

[@kennydykes892]

Thanks for the info. I've been looking for some wireless mics, since I whisper in some of my hunting videos, well it makes the audio suck. Just ordered a pair and good old Amazon will have them here by 11am tomorrow, aint that something. Can't wait to get back in the woods. Thanks for the review.

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

That’s awesome!

[@cloudiemin]

Lark max vs fulaim x5 comparison pls

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

If I can get my hands on them I absolutely will. My friend @PaulFeinberg has some X5 videos that are def worth checking out!

[@SavageCreates]

Great video!

[@Living_Our_Best_Life]

I have both mics. Can you please tell me how you tell the difference between low, medium, and high on the Hollyland?

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

They default to medium when you turn them on. If you find yourself in a loud environment you can trust that pressing the volume down will take you to low and volume up will take you to high. There isnt a light or notification to be able to tell the difference (that I have found). You just kind of have to remember if you made any adjustments as you go.... or just pop them back in the case and reset to medium.

[@Living_Our_Best_Life]

@Jason Sanderford so it resets to medium everytime you turn it off?

[@eprohoda]

Jason~ How’s everything going?! incredilbe dji. =))

[@RondellKB]

This was a good video. You should review the Fulaim x5 next.

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

Those look pretty cool. My buddy Paul Feinberg just did a video comparing it to the DJi mics

[@PaulFeinberg]

Jason is right I just posted a video on the Fulaim X5 mics. Check it out! Thanks Jason!

[@RondellKB]

@@Jsanderfordphoto Yeah it's pretty good for the price, same price as this and it has onboard recording like the DJI and the option of a lapelle mic.

[@RondellKB]

@@PaulFeinberg I'll check it out.

[@Kryptonaute42]

👍

[@Dstonephoto]

Nice. How well does wind noise clean up in real time and in post?

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

They come with some windscreens that work fairly well. Ive been using the voice isolation in Davinci resolve to clean up any of that though here lately.

[@Dstonephoto]

@@Jsanderfordphoto interesting. Thanks.

[@biggooseadventures]

Nice video, I have the hollyland and I love them unfortunately they don’t work with my insta x3. They don’t match my words and lips…but the Hollyland works with my gopro and 14promax just fine.

[@marknubani911]

Can you connect holyland to Samsung s21 ?

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

It comes with the appropriate cell phone cable, Im unfamiliar with how android phones work though to say confidently how they perform.

[@marknubani911]

@Jsanderfordphoto I purchased hollyland lark M1 and I connected automatically to my Samsung s21 👍 it's really amazing

[@VarsityVlogs]

🔥🔥

[@larryforman5142]

Can you plug the dji receiver into an adroid phone? Thanks

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

They come with a USB-C adapter. I do not have an Android phone so I cant test it. It also comes with a lightning adapter, Ive tried it on my Iphone and I found it doesn't work with the native camera app. Ive seen where you can use other recording apps and it works. I do not record on my phone very much so I didn't look into it further....but then again that is Apple... definitely something I need to check out.

[@larryforman5142]

@@Jsanderfordphoto Thank you

[@allaboutferrets]

I think I just gave you your first like on this video😮 I find it so surprising because it is so well made, it deserve so much more attention than that. I really like the football field demonstration.🎉 With all of that, I do have a question : I am using the M1 microphone, but it is coming out very quiet when I’m using it with my voice overs on cut cup video editor. Do you happen to know why or have any suggestions?

[@Jsanderfordphoto]

From the microphone perspective, you might just wanna make sure that you don’t have your noise canceling setting on. Sometimes that can make your levels a little quieter. I’m not familiar with that editor, have you tried raising the levels in the program? Thanks for watching!

[@sebials5101]

Hollyland sounds more natural to me. but the noise cancellation?? i would never use in each of them. you do noise cancellation in post.

[@bernardojfgamer]

Can anyone tell me if the hollyland microphone can be used to monitor the sound with headphones?

[@scottgremillion3820]

You will need the hollyland lark max for headphone monitoring.

[@topgungoose90]

With this review I’m actually finding that I like the Hollyland mics over the DJI. The quality sounds better, clearer. And the noise cancellation is superb.
