[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

*I own the Hollyland Lark M1 & Lark Max, I've had the Rode Wireless Go I & II. The Hollyland is VERY underrated ECSPECIALLY the Lark Max with is basically the Dji Mic 2 version for Hollyland, VERY solid product*

[@MPENetwork]

I appreciate the fact that you gave an actual opinion. That honesty is respectable.

[@JagannathandPrema]

For the last three days ive been researching wireless mics and getting very overwhelmed. I was literally just thinking to myself, "I wish Think Media had a video about this" and here it is! Its like you guys can read my mind!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

So glad we could help!

[@The_Pickle34]

Which one did you go for in the end? I can't choose!!!

[@fattestedtravel]

A friend of mine, who is a filmmaker in Hollywood and fellow Disney adult recommended the hollyland lark M2 and I absolutely love it

[@ThinkMediaTV]

It is a great choice, especially considering the price!

[@AlexIverstone]

Fun fact: if you double tap on this comment it likes it

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Good tip!

[@Flexy_AA_shorts]

Dam bro 2.36k subs! Let’s get it🎉 trynna be there one day 👊🏼 Keep up the good work

[@HashiMadara]

huh. I legit didn't know that😂👍

[@SpreezyBeGaming]

I have the Hollyland Lark M2 and it's amazing!

[@esaujanis-xs]

Absolutely loving the audio quality and touchscreen interface on my DJI gear!

[@kraigpruett]

Totally agree!

[@nochillnala]

Love this video, super useful and pretty accurate imo! it's no questioning that quality gets better with more expensive products in this case. I personally think the dji is best in outdoor conditions but the sardonic blink is best bank for your buck if you're choosing an affordable mic out of all of these!

[@FishingwithAllyG]

This was super helpful! Thanks for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge. Knowledge is power! but only when applied.

[@kraigpruett]

Thanks for watching!

[@BrainiousPodcast]

Great video, we've just lauched our Podcast and werenplanning to get better microphones soon, so will keep these in mind!

[@kraigpruett]

Love it! Congrats on the podcast launch!

[@fishingweekendwarrior]

Couple months ago I bought the DJI mics and I've been very happy so far. I think they have way more features than I will ever use but mostly I was looking for the noise canceling

[@WojnarskiWeldingFabricaion]

Agreed I was looking for a good action camera for my channel but I really needed good noise canceling working in a welding shop with machines and loud fans going. I tried a couple cameras and mics and ended up going with the newer DJI camera and DJI mic 2 I don’t have the transmitter it pairs wirelessly to the action camera but works good for that. But the noise cancellation is really good on that mic 👍

[@JeffAlaniStanfill]

Thank you so much this comparison video. The Rode Wireless Pro seems to be the best option overall, amd will be the one system I am going to go with based on this video and and other positive things I've heard about it.

[@kraigpruett]

It’s really great, you won’t regret it!

[@sidzhottake]

Ordered the Hollyland a few days ago. Upgraded from the Comica.

[@ThornTheaterReviews]

I love it and it's definitely a huge upgrade from the movo shotgun I was using. It's simple and sounds great.

[@Rollinsly29]

I am making my own cartoon animated series called Black Peerama or Jailbima Rotains

[@Weeniewarrior15]

Did you have the comica with 4 transmitters and if so what made you want to replace it

[@sidzhottake]

@@Weeniewarrior15 I have the Comica Vimo S. Reasons for going to the Hollyland? Actually, I cover it in my video on my channel.

[@UXXV]

Rode is the winner. The DJI kit still does some funky AI noise stuff that makes the audio sound thin and robotic

[@denoftools]

I have the Holllyland lark and my problem with it is that the mic is so sensitive it peaks out unless I place it at least 2 feet away from me. And yes, I’ve changed all sorts of settings with the receiver and everything you can adjust and it’s still is too peaky for me to use. Granted, I talk a little bit louder than most people, but I feel like I have to whisper when using that mic.

[@kraigpruett]

Very interesting! Sounds like it has a pretty low threshold. I talk pretty quiet so I don’t encounter this!

[@denoftools]

@@kraigpruett Well I have the Lark M1, not the M2. Maybe they fixed the issue.

[@kraigpruett]

@@denoftoolsgot it. Nice.

[@robertdeuel4332]

Ulanzi has an awesome unit and it is usually $99 for two transmitters and 1 receiver.

[@isakandrew]

The sound on the wireless go2 pro has let me down several times already. The sound on the receiver is clicking. It's good that there is recording on the internal memory

[@SixStringRay]

They sound so 'sharp' i guess i need the studio mic again amd edti it afterwards and put it sync on my videos again. Low end is very bad on those "external" mics. Hope they make better mics for music/acoustic guitar recordings and live singing. Maybe i overlooked something,if you guys have any tips its welcome 👍

[@linnenbach123]

Can you go over how to setup the Shure EQ to sound decent?

[@Daniel.Eriksson]

I needed this video! Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Happy to help!

[@JosuesExotics]

I have the deity wireless system. I wish this one was included in this video as well!

[@kraigpruett]

Very good system as well!!

[@Dom-si2pk]

Test some very affordable wireless mics, for example Ulanzi J12 and the Boya V20 for example. The J12 and V20 are under 50$ and are suprisingly good. There are some even cheaper options but i dont know how good these are.

[@kraigpruett]

We’d love to do a budget wireless mic comparison!!

[@vanrod_]

I won the Rode Wireless Pro during a giveaway that Rode did, and I am so happy I won it. It has been awesome to use for my own content and videos I've edited. I would definitely recommend it!

[@guichen6485]

such an amazing video! love that you put the comparison of sound quality in the end ❤

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad you liked it!!

[@volcolby]

Appreciate the comparison - very helpful to see these mics side by side. Reminds me of a coffee tasting, without the aroma or flavor, of course.

[@kraigpruett]

Great analogy!

[@DaBadNewz]

Very thorough comparison! I was also very hopeful for the Shure system (and then completely let down by it after seeing reviews)

[@kraigpruett]

Same… so sad

[@nochillnala]

omg same here!!!

[@DmitriOcean]

I'd stay away from wireless microphones period. I got myself a few Tentacle Sync units. Timecode plus 32 bit float - can't beat that. So versatile. No worries about loosing signal, no interference. Battery life for the whole day of shooting. European version of Track E after recent firmware update is a game changer.

[@RetireandGo]

Great video thank you ! I appreciate this comparison

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@JoseOnTheAir]

If you don't need built in recording, I swear by my Movo WMX-2! Using it as a lav or in a handle for handheld interviews, they're a very impressive kit for not much money

[@kraigpruett]

I will check it out! Maybe we will do a review about best systems under $200 or something!!

[@nochillnala]

omg I've seen sooo many people attach other mics to the hand-held... def need to try this mic out! sounds promising

[@margotantau]

Really great review, exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks so much! Question- Can you let me know the mic you were using before testing the wireless versions, ie your larger mic? The sound on that is fantastic as well. Is the the AT2020?🎙

[@MostVictoryPoints]

Just what I was looking for, thanks! My previous wireless mic was a cheapo $20 USD one, not great quality then the receiver stopped working after a month. Looking forward to using Hollyland Lark M2!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You will love the Lark M2!!

[@ManuelParodiRamos]

Hollyland question: Can you get two separate channels with the mobile version? And with the camera version?

[@PeterSu]

Awesome review. I have the m2 (for use with my cellphone for casual use) and the dji mic 2 for more pro use when I need better sound and more discreet wind protection outdoors. The Shure mic sounds too harsh to my ears. One suggestion would be to record the lav mics on your chest in the same spot to simulate real world sound/placement. Overall - super cool to hear the m2 and shure against the mic 2 and rode!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

[@Criticalhitkoala]

It's strange, I absolutely love the DJI Wireless Mic 2 in the field, but the Rode system is absolutely AMAZING at home paired with the ecosystem within the Rodecaster DUO for Twitch streaming and content creation. So that's the split now :) Dji for business, Rode for pleasure. If you have a chance would love your opinion on a mic from MeetSummer called the X1. I did a test for it and it was nice, but I feel your testing is more thorough and you have a larger pool to compare to. It has a larger capsule which is kind of a neat difference point.

[@dailyDIYdude]

Rode definitely sounds the best according to your test

[@nochillnala]

I think here, it def sounds the best! but in other videos, I find the dji sounds the best... so tricky!

[@jundom05]

are these mics work for livestreaming?

[@SemiRetiredCouple]

We are starting a new channel and we just purchased a Rode Wireless Pro, still waiting to be shipped! Thank you very much for always having an educational video!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

We love the Rode Wireless Pro!

[@yadwinder.sekhon]

A very good luck for your channel!

[@CliffJennings]

I'd love to see a review of the Ulanzi U-Mic AM18!!!

[@marijevanderhoeven]

Great video! I was wondering, are there reasons you'd want to choose a lapel mic over the internal mic, other than it looking 'more professional'? I make all sorts of video's as a freelancer and I sometimes have to do interviews. People often use the lapel mics for that, but I don't really get why you'd use a lapel mic with a cable when using a transmitter seems so much more convenient.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Sometimes using transmitters you will have signal drop out, and that is something you would not want to deal with on a professional freelance shoot. The Rode Wireless Pro and DJI Mic 2 solve that issue because they have built in memory recording as a backup! But as far as choosing the internal mic VS a lapel mic, they just sound very different. It is all up to personal preference as to which sound you prefer!

[@growformegardening]

Hey there... do you have a suggestion for a product if I need three mics connected at the same time?

[@assetinvestco5820]

Why didn't you also rate the Hollyland Lark Max? It's more comparable to the mics you were testing there. The Hollyland Lark M2 is really more for being super small & compact convenience and stealth instead of the big square clip on mics but with just as good quality and range, the M2 is obviously much smaller than most other wireless mics in your lineup by far, and with 9 hrs or recording time for something about the size of a nickel or smaller than a quarter. Thx for all your videos and helpful product reviews. Unfortunately, this one seemed lacking with including the Hollyland Lark Max...

[@gotcharma]

New guy on Think Media ! Nice to have 😁👍🏻

[@bobitsaboy7438]

Hollyland works quite well for me! I wouldn't mind the DJI's, but the price was too good for the Hollyland...

[@zypresse2726]

great video!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@VK4GHZ]

This video needs updating to include the new Ulanzi A30, which seems to offer great bang for the buck.

[@RickeyOrtiz]

My favorite mic is the PicoMic! You gotta review that one💥

[@ForbiddenWellness]

Completely random question, but can you use a usb c cable to plug into the phone and then into the receiver?

[@Flexy_AA_shorts]

That’s awesome content starlight to the point which is rare now a days! I needed this info after getting a sucky Amazon $14 one😅

I use the sonicake, very cheap but works really well for the cost

[@carzeen3601]

I have DJI- it’s awesome!

[@pxldj]

The correct Hollyland mic for comprare is the Max

[@kraigpruett]

Also a great one! We noticed the Lark 2 had a little more buzz recently so wanted to include it in this one!

[@MrSujano]

Big fan of the DJI mic 2. I initially thought it didn't sound that great, but realized the low cut filter was enabled by default. 😅

@@ThinkMediaTV anytime!

[@Liowen]

I'm kind of shocked you didn't try the ULANZI J12 (USB-C) $49.95/ULANZI J11 (Lightning) $39.95, I think for the cost it is a great pickup and you get 2 mics. Yes it doesn't have internal storage and you can't plug an external mic, but again if you want to just get started with a smaller size mic setup for the budget minded people this is a go to mic.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

We might have to do a budget mic comparison!

[@bradgodin]

Does the a6400 have that audio hot shoe?

[@jj671-o5m]

I thought the Shure mic sounded the best

[@dev.himanshuarora]

i have lark m1

[@pauldittus]

Did you happen to test the Neewer CM28? If so, how did it compare to the other mics like the DJI?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

We did not, but we have tested the Fulaim X5... which is essentially the exact same mic rebranded. That mic is pretty solid, but I would still choose the Hollyland Lark M2 over it.

[@pauldittus]

@@ThinkMediaTVthanks for the reply! I have heard those 2 were similar. I found the Neewer CM28 for about $70 so I might give it a try. I figure if close enough to the others with 1/2 to 1/3 the price tag could be a solid option for the price. Or do you think it’s worth spending $70-$220 more on one of the others?

[@BrancoFXDC]

I have a Boya BY-XM6-S2 like $100 bucks on Amazon sounds good, 2 transmitter 1 receiver.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Ive watched countless videos on the Shure MoveMic and every one of them say its among the best mics they ever used. Very conflicting 🤔

[@Babylove36]

[@joychellesroom8756]

Hi I was wondering if your classes are for the youth

[@vidworxsfx]

To my ear the Rode sounded best, and had the most natural overall tone not boxy or thin as some tended to sound, the Shure sounds like a Mr Microphone really cheap sounding right out of the box and way over priced in my opin.

[@CrispySkates]

Hi!!!AWESOME❤

[@CrispySkates]

Thabk you so much! Also I have been trying to contact yall❤

[@peppek8631]

Every SHURE microphone is the most expensive and the worst sound quality, like wtf who even buys these…

[@cre8view]

Rode

[@imark7777777]

I hate to say it but if you're considering yourself that much of a professional that you absolutely have to have recording and transmission capability in your Wireless then you're probably looking at the super expensive company that has the patent that's preventing everybody else from implementing that feature. thankfully it's going to expire hopefully it doesn't get patent trolled and all the other manufacturers can update their firmware.
