Thank you for this tip. I bought mine a month ago and haven't test it yet. Looking forward to make videos using this accessory. 😊

[@cris_photography]

Nice! Enjoy 😀

[@younutre]

I bought the Hollyland USB-C to 3.5mm adapter but it's not working on my iPhone 15. It works perfectly on my Android, but not on the iPhone... Does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks

[@cris_photography]

Hear about that for many users - feel like the software needs an update (on hollylands end). Still didn’t figure out how to solve that sorry

[@younutre]

@@cris_photography Thanks for the reply. It's a great shame, especially because I'm from Brazil and the iPhone and microphone are a fortune for us.

[@younutre]

@@cris_photography Could it be that if I use a USB-C to TRRS adapter, then the TRRS to the receiver is there any chance?

[@cris_photography]

@younutre 🤦🏻😱

[@younutre]

@@cris_photography After hours of searching i justa turn the phone off and on, and it works 😊😊😊😊

[@Snow_boyz]

So I bought a cable (lightning to trs) and I used the grey and black cable it came with and set up the mic then I recorded it on camera and voice memos and there is no audio on each of the samples so i don’t know if it is my phone or the cable.(I have a iPhone 11)

[@cris_photography]

Did you try the way I show with the same lighting to jack cable? I mean that’s all I did 🤷🏻

[@Snow_boyz]

I’ll buy the cord rn

[@stereoreviewx]

Did you buy that cord I am having same problem iPhone 11 thanks @@Snow_boyz

[@aliciasouzaof]

Hi Cris, my iPhone does not recognize the device as a microphone only as headphones what can I do? say hello to Brazil

[@cris_photography]

Hey there, is it an iPhone? What cable did you use? It be from Hollyland? Also, what phone version is it? Cheers 🙂

[@EvelinaPentchevaImagine]

I used with iPhone 12 but now with 15 doesn’t work 🙁

[@ankurm26]

Helpful. Thanks!

[@cris_photography]

Awesome 😉

[@itssouf]

What a dismay 😩 I just bought an Apple male lightning to female aux and it doesn’t work when I snap the Apple adaptor into the Hollyland dual male aux Mic drop 🎤 😅

[@cris_photography]

Sorry to hear mate! this is quite strange... I really had no issues with the original cable from Hollyland but not sure why this would happen.

[@itssouf]

@@cris_photography after couple attempts it finally worked 🚀

[@cris_photography]

@itssouf great!

[@petertotten6479]

@@itssoufhow did you fix it, same issue here

[@itssouf]

@@petertotten6479 here is what I learnt from it. Before shooting, make sure you plug the whole setup to your iPhone (I presume) before opening the camera app. Then after filming unplug the whole thing to finally hear the sound coming out of the phone speakers 🔊

[@ILoveMapleDonuts]

Do you know through what I can record my voice through? I have the receiver and mic connected and their lights are on but when I go to video or voice memos on my iPhone it does not catch my voice.

[@cris_photography]

You’ll need the iPhone adapter

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I am still struggling to connect this Hollyland lark m1 to my iphone 13 pro - I got this mircophone in December 2023 and I have tried various adaptors as I was only supplied a trrs to trs cable. It works on my old andriod phone but not on my old iphone 11 or current 13 pro. So frustrating

[@cris_photography]

Oh here you answer my previous question. This is VERY weird. It should be plug and play - never had an issue. Any Bluetooth devices plugged to the phone?

[@CarsofGlasgow]

@@cris_photography I have tried bluetooth off as well as wifi off etc too. Honestly it's not working with the Hollyland Lightning to 3.5mm Adapter from Hollyland either - for iphone 11 or 13 pro. Everytime I try googling it your video comes up in the AI drop down for the answers.

[@lindakirsebom3792]

Can I use this for online yoga/breathwork classes in zoom?

[@cris_photography]

Yes you can, however I’d go with the Hollyland M2 now (newer and way smaller - check my review on this channel)

[@VeronikaPesicActriz]

Hi! It works with iPhone 15 pro max?

[@cris_photography]

Yes but I’d go with the Lark M2 😉

[@user-jq3vt9mq8k]

Any iphone app that I can use to manage the audio settings when 2 transmitters are using. My device is lark M1.

[@cris_photography]

Good question ! I usually use them both using the camera but didn’t really look into the audio that much to handle the tracks separately, wouldn’t know. I’d be curious to know though. Maybe filmic pro?

[@inotelif]

LarkSound

[@JustaPilot1]

It dowsn't work for me. I have the cable and plugged it just was you did and it only records using the mic of the phone. As a walk away the audio gets lower and lower so it's not using the Hollyland receiver.

[@varolucho]

Did u resolve it?

[@JustaPilot1]

@@varolucho Yes. I needed to plug in an Apple Lighting to 3.5 TRRS adapter cable into the phone, then plug the Hollyland TRRS to TRS cable into the Apple adaptor, and then plug the TRS end of the Hollyland cable into the receiver. Then it worked.

[@varolucho]

@@JustaPilot1 thanks bro !

[@cris_photography]

Glad that solved! 😉

[@chozenkingston]

I have a iPhone 15 pro will I still be able to use the Hollyland Lark M1 even though my charger port is usb c type

[@WildPotionLondon]

Why do I have just 1 blue light showing on my RX?

[@cris_photography]

Hum 🧐 good question! Are they both charged?

[@graciellysousa1912]

How do I connect to my iPhone 15 pro max?

[@cris_photography]

You’ll need a USB-C to USB-C cable for the 15. I never tried personally

[@Chillwitharjunvlog]

14 plus compatible or not 😢

[@cris_photography]

Should be - yes!

[@Lildarkieislife]

So i bought the hollyland wire but when i connect all of it to my iPhone it doesn’t work

[@cris_photography]

What model? 15?

[@johnkendale]

Happened to me. But then I unplugged the receiver when playing back the video. Then you hear sound.

[@Unknowntraveler8100]

Voice is getting recorded in voice memo but not while recording video.. don’t know what to do😢

[@cris_photography]

Strange! Make sure the app has all the authorizations and restart phone maybe? Not sure mate

[@PescuitSimpluAlex]

It’s not working. What can i do? What can of setings i can do to my iPhone?

[@cris_photography]

What iPhone are you using? Is it the original hollyland cable?

[@PescuitSimpluAlex]

@@cris_photography It’s working. It’s a 14 pro max with original cable. My mistake. Thx apreciated

[@johnduhlian12]

Can we connect with action camera like GoPro

[@cris_photography]

If there’s a jack it should work but GoPros don’t have one (unless u buy the accessory for it). Cheers

[@navzkot9364]

Are you able to hear the audio when you play the videos in the photos app with the microphone connected ? Because I have an iPhone 15 and I connect with the help of 3.5mm to type c cable which is sold my hollyland and I am not able to hear any audio on playback. note: the audio does get recorded to the video and I can hear the audio only when I disconnect the microphone from the phone every time. Could pls reply to this and clear my query, thanks.

[@cris_photography]

Hi there, No, I can't hear the audio if my receiver is plugged to the phone - have to remove it to hear (it sees it as an external mic otherwise). So that's that. But as long as you can use the mics to record - they do their job and it's good. Cheers

[@JimmyGfit]

Legend 🔥

[@cris_photography]

[@toneandmuscle3917]

doesn't work for me. wondering if it's because I have an iphone10. hollyland customer service blows and can't seem to set up any sort of conversation on the phone

[@toneandmuscle3917]

my audio actually sounds worse when the lark is plugged in. like its muffled. so confused

[@cris_photography]

That’s not good 🤦🏻 Maybe it is because it’s an iPhone 10 (some software related issue). Have you tried (or been able to try) on a more recent phone? That might indeed solve the issue. As to the quality sounding worse, you might want to try changing the settings AND make sure the “noise canceling” option is off (is the light on the transmitters is green it means it’s on - make sure it’s blue by pressing the yellow button on the side)

[@rabbyzhou4757]

If you're using it in quiet indoor enviornment, pls turn off ENC as Cris suggested; if you're using it in the street or other noise outdoor environment, pls turn on ENC.@@toneandmuscle3917

[@antn3y]

I have the Lark m1 and an iPhone 15 pro max, and the Apple usb-c to headphone to connect the receiver to my phone and it does not work. Is the lark m1 not comparable with the iPhone 15?

You’ll need a USB-C to USB-C for that. I haven’t personally tried but that should work. Did you already try that?
