Hollyland Lark M1 Wireless Lavalier Microphone with Noise Cancellation, 656ft Transmission,8H Battery Life, Compact Wireless Lapel Microphone System for DSLR Cameras/iPhone/Android/Live Streaming

This mic set has gone far beyond my expectations. I got to to pair with a GoPro hero 13, with the media mod, to use for hockey on a goalie. Pros: 1. The sound quality is excellent. It gets clipped under a chest protector. With all the movement, the voice and ambient noise is well balanced, crisp, and not muffled or scratchy at all. The microphone itself is set in slightly and I think this makes the difference. 2. Sweat resistant. I can't say it's meant to be, but so far it's held up. It would probably be wise to protect it with a bit of plastic or something, but it didn't decease after sweat and moisture (and some water bottle spillage). It gets used for at least an hour at a time where it's exposed to this environment. 3. Connectivity and set up is quick and easy and I have yet to have an issue with it skipping or losing connection. It is extremely quick to connect and has not suffered any interruptions. I have not tested longer distances than the length of an ice rink (200'). 4. Battery life & charging is excellent. It easily lasts several hours and charges to 100% fast. 5. It has the option to select ambient noise cancellation, and it is actually a noticable difference. Cons: 1. If I wanted a digital display, I should have bought one. I do wish this had one for battery and\or volume because you kind of have to guess. If the GoPro is on, I can see it picking up but I won't be able to know how loud it is until it's recorded if I touch a setting by mistake from the previous use. 2. Not so much a con, but don't expect this to be anything except an in-sync recording. It will be part of the video, meaning, that the video will be recorded with audio and if that audio fails you do not have it separately on the device. This is in line with 99% of mics, though. And, again, I have not experienced an issue yet. 3. Kitty doesn't stay on great. Again...a minor complaint. It also isn't meant to be used for sports! So if you want the little fluffy bit on it, just make sure you're not moving it much. 4. This is my one legitimate qualm - the clip is...*ok*. The spring is not the best and, although it is good for typical use, I wish it was a little stronger because I'm not convinced it's not going to fall off. It's more like a chip clip than a clothespin in terms of tension (like...I wouldn't be scared to be dared to clip it to my nose haha!). Although it's technically appropriate for the size of the mic, I think I could've benefitted from about 1\4 inch more length and the smallest bit increased tension. In the meantime, a bit of hockey tape will be the comfort in not losing it! Overall, with use so far (a few months), I do recommend this product! The price is absolutely right for the product. Quality is above and beyond. Size is discrete. Works well. Connectivity is excellent. Great mic!

I was skeptical at first when ordering. I wanted a more professional, compact, and seemless method to better record interviews and video skits when out in the real world but did not have DJI or other "higher shelf" alternative brand money. This product fit the bill on many levels such as; affordability, portablilty, features, quality, ease of use, and its connection versatility. I can use this product with my phone (via 3.5mm jack to usb-c cable (sold separately)) or I can hook up to my DSLR if so desired. I greatly enjoy the fact that I can use one product for both applications and it just works flawlessly. The audio quality is great, these have a noise canceling feature which works very well and have volume control on the receiver. The battery life is great and it's awesome the manufacturers were mindful when designing these since you are given the option to not only in them by putting them in there case like ear buds but they have a usb c port on them too for when in a pinch. I enjoy how the manufacturers where even mindful in designing these to fit hot shoe on a DSLR, don't worry the clip is made out of plastic. The build quality is very good. The microphones and receiver feel and look quality made. The charging/storage case lid feels a bit like "Cheap" plastic, but the storage hard shell case is made of superior quality. I would say these perform and overall rate like "high shelf" brands. I do not regret this purchase at all and will look forward to doing future business with this brand.

I purchased this for the purpose of simplifying my social media content creation. I make a few videos a week for Instagram for my small business and I also make motovlog videos for a personal YouTube channel. Running wired mics from my cameras or my external recorders was getting to be hassel. Then dealing with extra memory cards, batteries and all the cases for the equipment; I was over it. This little mic setup has worked flawlessly. I take them out of the charging case, no pairing needed, the transceiver fits on my cold shoes on my camera cages and the mic clips onto my shirt or fits into my helmet. The Audi quality is clear and crisp and I have no issues using it with my Nikon Z8, Hero 7 Black or my Android phone. I did get the android USB C cable separately but they included it free with a promo code and it works perfectly. I love that you can choose to have each mic separated into the R and L channels or at the push of a button have them record ina stereo mix. It makes recording vocals for a multi person interview an absolute breeze. Only place id like to see I provement would be the carrying case and charging case. While there is room for everything it's a tight fight and I'd love see maybe a larger case or separate compartments for the cords and wind muffs. But I'm looking for cons because they are fantastic. Highly recommend them. The support is also top notch. You can get 2 of these for the price of 1 DJI or rode setup. Great value.

I wanted to wait a little to write this review because I wanted to really test this thing out. To start off this this is awesome! I wanted to buy a more expensive mic to use to record some master minds and classes I was presenting in but I didn't want to spend $300 for something name branded. This pairs easily with my Sony camera and my DJI action camera (I seem to find myself using it with my action camera the most). Its simple to setup and the sound quality is clear and easy to work with in the post edit. I haven't had any issue with range, given I am not going out across a football field to record to my camera I am normally just across a room. Also I love how discreet they are, I keep getting people asking me how am I recording such clear audio when my camera is do far away. I pull back my lapel and show the tiny transmitter and they are shocked they didn't see it. I do with that it had internal recording but that is one feature you lose at this price and I accept that. I would most definitely buy this again and would suggest it to anyone looking for a good quality budget wireless mic. My only issue is the case that it came with to hold everything. I wish they would have adopted an all in one case to hold the transmitters and receiver along with all the connectors because the hard shell zipper case is cheap garbage. The zipper broke on the first day of use after I bought it. I should have reached out sooner but I figured "Hey its just the case who cares!" So after months of dealing with having to fiddle with the zipper going back and forth until the case zips up the zipper finally broke off completely and now the case wont close. Now the case is useless. I get it I paid for the mic and not the case but you have to have the zipper case to hold the cables to connect to your camera.

I was skeptical at first and when I first saw the product announced, I wondered how this would compare to the Rode wireless go ii and the Tascam dr 10L that I regularly use for weddings and run and gun films. I'm pretty pleased that my first tests where I compared with the lavalier and without the lav in the rode and tascam compared to the M1 was very similar and almost indistinguishable. (still need to test in a lot more scenarios). I just held all of them about 6" in front of my mouth and they all sounded great and I'd have a hard time telling which was which. The M1 is definitely something to consider, especially given that this does not cost as much as the rode and the tascam. The size and weight of this is what attracted me to this the most. There was once a shoot, where I needed to quickly mic the subject and I placed the rode lav on her blouse. As we moved around, the weight of the rode actually shifted her blouse around making it a bit awkward and embarrassing. I know that because of the size of the M1, this would not be an issue. I love the size of this and knowing that the audio quality will not be compromised, I am confident in using this. I absolutely love the battery case, where you just need to pull out the transmitter and receiver, and they automatically turn on and connect. You just need to take them out of the case and put them on your talent and camera, and you're good to go. I do love the sleek look, but I've never been of fan of any of the brands printing their logo on their products. I get it, of course you need to get your name out there, but I don't think any filmmaker wants to have logos distracting away from the subject speaking. Same complaint for the led. I don't want a piece of gear to distract from the story. Gaffe tape will most likely be placed on them. I can't necessarily knock of points here because all similar products do the same thing. I still need to try out the noise cancellation. I also tried plugging in my iPhone, and that was pretty cool to have such a simple set up (iPhone, lightning adapter, trss to trrs patch cable, receiver, transmitter) I was impressed and made me super excited. I also gotta say, I love all of the battery case, it feels rugged enough, and it also comes with an additional case for the cables, wind screen, and the battery case to be stored in. The Tascam dr-10L will still be my go-to for weddings because I don't want to worry about wireless interference, and the rode wireless go ii for weddings have also had some weird problems here and there. I don't think this is necessarily fit for weddings on the groom and officiant during ceremony and again, wireless interference is always unpredictable, but in every other situation where you need to quickly set up audio on one to two subjects without a lavalier, like quick interviews, this will be my go to over the rode wireless go ii because of the size and convenience of it. There is still much testing to be done, and this is only my initial review, but I am optimistic that this will be a very important part of my kit.

According to the manufacturer, these are made for recording purposes or presentations/meetings. For those sings alone, they were great (just make sure to not confuse the 3.5 mm cables, one is for cameras when you record videos and the other is for any other aux ports). Great sound quality and the noise cancellation makes a massive difference. I bought these with a completely different purpose in mind: live music. I was testing put different wireless mics and at first avoided these for the price because I was on a tight budget and saw that it was only for recording sessions. I decided to buy them later on because I couldn't find any other options. This will work perfectly on any PA Speaker or amplifiers you have if you are a musician and need a wireless mics for voices or instruments that you can just clip on. I work as a mariachi at a casino, so there is a lot of noise and interferences from different signals, and these mics go uninterrupted, have an awesome range, and sound crisp and clear. The noise cancellation is also great when you want to avoid feedback, and it helps more that the receiver for these mics has its own independent gain/volume adjustment. It's also great that the receiver can switch between mono and stereo depending on your speaker setup that you might have or the type of recording session you are running. As a violinist and singer, these mics go well on a shirt pocket and will pick up everything very clearly while avoiding background noises. I cannot recommend enough.

I thought Hollyland would be a good brand. I work in television and we have used their video monitors on set before. Figured they'd know a thing or two about transmitters and receivers. Apparently not. These do not work. I tried them with a camera. Tried them with an audio mixer. Nothing. The indicator lights don't even seem to correspond with what the manual says. What a joke! When I turn them on, the light that's supposed to indicate that they are connected are solid blue. Indicating they are connected. Now here's where it gets weird, when I try to change the mode on the receiver - it is that light that changes green! Even though according to the manual, it should be the other one! Why does the bottom button correlate with the top indicator light and vice versa? That's counter-intuitive and also NOT how the manual says it should operate. Okay, so then now I've got one solid green light and one indicator light that is giving me nothing. Maybe I need to try to reconnect the transmitter and the receiver? Nope. Doesn't work. I get a flashing blue light. So that would indicate that the transmitter and receiver are unable to connect i.e. it's dysfunctional. Never got to use it. Never got so much as a sound level. Apparently, never even got the transmitter and receiver to connect despite trying my best to follow the manual's instructions. And it's worth mentioning, again, that I am literally a professional when it comes to this stuff and will be taking this experience into consideration when making future buying decisions.

The Hollyland Lark M1 Wireless Lavalier Microphone with Noise Cancellation is absolutely fantastic! I recently used this mic for an outdoor video shoot, and I was blown away by how well it performed. I had the receiver plugged into my camera while I was filming from a distance—probably about 350 feet away—and the sound was crystal clear. Even with some background wind noise, the built-in noise cancellation did an excellent job of filtering it out, leaving only my voice crisp and sharp. I’ve used a few other wireless mics in the past, but none of them offered such clarity from a distance. The setup was incredibly easy, and the compact design of the mic made it super comfortable to wear without being bulky. I didn’t have to worry about any signal dropouts or static either, which is a huge plus for any outdoor shoot. If you’re looking for a high-quality, easy-to-use wireless mic with excellent sound and noise cancellation, this one is definitely a winner. It’s a game-changer for anyone creating content or needing reliable audio in various environments. I also really like the case it comes with. It helps keep the mics and receiver fully charged when in the case. Plus the battery of the mics themselves last a very long time! Highly recommend!
