I needed to see a good test with Athletic Movements involved. Also great side by side. Thanks for all the variations. Nice job

[@jayinbold]

Great video, really helped me decide. The determining factor was whether it would fit into the iPhone 15 Pro Max with a phone case on

[@gulraizsarfraz]

Thank you for making this video :)

[@willthedp]

You’re welcome, thanks for watching

[@honestnerd]

Thanks for sharing. Noticing a lot of interference/static sound on the M2 indoor audio test 7:35 to 8:50 so it's a no-go for me.

[@marxxTV]

Yah what happened there?

[@pigreatlor]

@@marxxTV its probably the noise cancelling

[@AhmedAbada]

Thank you for this review. Lark max always winning but should to tell m2 is damn good as its budget

[@robinprobyn1971]

Could you not use a 3.5 to XLR adaptor for a fx6/9 . I wondering if this could be a good quick way to have a wireless lav for sit down interviews . Especially if you can mount them inside a shirt collar , suit lapel etc.

[@JWS1968]

If you pop on the fur wind screen on when wearing it under the jacket it cancels a lot of clothing rustle. You'll still get clothing noise with extreme movement but you'll eliminate almost all of it if just walking and talking or standing and talking to camera with minimal movement like say someone that is animated while they talk.

[@willthedp]

Good point, thanks

[@JacobRDoty]

I just ordered this and that's the combo I can't find anyone doing in any tests. Can't wait to try it. This is how I currently use a wired lav under my shirt, but I'm tried of using tape to my skin - especially when working on cars in the summer and it loses it's stickiness with sweat

[@napatsaeng]

i think small and sounds like it is good, if used for vlog and content creator easy to use

[@g13jon]

🥳Great video. Thanks. Do you know if the USB-C version will work when plugged into a MacBook / Mac Studio USB-C? Or does it have to be a mobile? Thanks,

[@willthedp]

You're welcome man, thank you. I don't know actually but I may try it out. I have a Sennheiser that's records USB-C straight into my MacBook, would be interesting if this one worked.

[@g13jon]

@@willthedp cool thanks. Would be great to hear results if you do get to test this out! 🤔 cheers! Great review video and production quality 🙌

[@willthedp]

@@g13jon thanks man, means a lot. You’ll see it if I test it out

[@HaskinsPhotography]

Will the mics auto re connect if you out of range for an extended time or if you are switching back and forth from your camera audio?

[@willthedp]

I don’t know, did not test that

[@erikshirkey1124]

hi, are you sure its supposed to be a green light when its ready to record?

[@LingWellness]

Did you test the mobile RX? i tried the mobile USBc RX, but it doens't pair if I don't charge my phone at the same time... it should just plug and play without needing to charge right?

[@pendonje]

Does the Hollyland Lark M2 (USB-C or Camera 3.5mm TRS version) work with the DJI Osmo Action 3 ?

[@ILLAILLS]

They sound pretty good for the price

[@willthedp]

Agree, it's not bad at all

[@parttimepaul]

Heard a lot of buzzing. Is that the issue you describe in the end? Can it be edited out easily?

[@willthedp]

Yeah anytime I used it with my camera, I would have buzzing and couldn't figure out how to get rid of it. Tried both mics and adjusting the wire but had no luck. With the phone there were no issues. And yes that was one of the issues I had but didn't specifically name it. I didn't try to edit it out so you and everyone else could get an honest look at it.

[@promedianz]

@@willthedp Can you let us know if you figure out that buzzing? Thats a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the video 🙂

[@shubhamjain7168]

My audio isn’t as crisp as your with the Lark M2. Please guide

[@gayshrink3190]

No problem connecting and staying connected with the phone case on? Thanks in advance.

[@willthedp]

I didn't have any problems with staying connected with the case I have

[@steevencoogan8754]

how to use hollyland m2 with iphone 15 pto max using external drive ? can you use usb c hub? why no one tried this bummer

[@PierreVilleneuve88]

Gain is too high at 6:00, sound is clipping. Not the mic's fault, just an adjustment.

[@AbgSyuk]

why dont u try using usb c to your sony fx camera

[@willthedp]

Good question, I just went with the way they said to use it

[@Novifahd]

Present

[@cezar_visual_artist]

I hate this fucking buzzzzzzing sound. I pixked synco G2 s, and i get this buzz also. Fuck this buZZ, i wnated tonbuy these mics but now i don't

[@prettysimplemusic]

They should’ve kept that ugly logo off the front the mic

[@ChocolateThunder6]

It comes with stickers so you can cover the logo. I’ve seen that in other reviews.

[@jimmytimmers2002]

You can cover it with the stickers that are included.
