Hollyland Lark Max Wireless Lavalier Microphone System (1TX+1RX, No Charging Case), Professional ENC, Studio Quality Audio, Compatible with DSLR Camera, iPhone, Android, PC-Black

Edit: 8/5/2024I have been using this microphone system now for just about a year and man, it's still blowing my expectations. I finally upgraded from my Purple Panda lav mic to a Shure MVL and man! What an upgrade that was. I went from +5 gain to -5 gain between the two mics on the Hollyland RX1 and am still picking up way more audio than I was before. The mids/highs are much clearer and the lows aren't muddy anymore.The battery life is still going long and strong, I haven't had any failed recordings, or issues with connectivity between the 1TX and 1RXGreat stuff Hollyland!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am a realtor videographer and I am currently filming with an iPhone 13 Pro with plans to upgrade to a Sony FX30 and this single mic set seems to be the perfect buy.It is a massive upgrade from a simple iPhone wireless microphone when jumping up to the Hollyland Lark Max wireless ones.Impressive audio from such a simple yet quality device. I have dropped it so it can withstand some impacts, can't be mad at that. The other set I have is cheaply made and all plastic.Pros:-Has a super crisp internal microphone. Sounds a ton fuller than that cheap set I bought.-Microphone input works well with my Purple Panda lapel mic.-Has active noise cancelation to deter busy rooms and it works quite well.-Clear screen on the receiver, tells you everything you need to know such as battery life on both the receiver and transmitter, not to mention audio level.-Comes with loads of accessories for connecting to different devices such as Android or iPhones, cameras, and USB-C to USB-C charging/data cables.-Each clip on the transmitter and receiver are magnetic for ease of mounting on clothing-It comes with a nice wind muff, although I think it "muffles" the sound a little bit ;)-The headphone output is clean and clear and it was able to easily drive my Sennheiser HD280Pros (not a super hard demand but it was able to reach a respectable loudness)Cons:-No charging case with the 1TX+1RX (Still comes with a carrying case!)-A bit bulkier than the other setup I had but I am willing to sacrifice that for the upgrade in audio fidelity!-Harder to balance on my gimble with my current setup, but with the new setup I think it'll be easy-peasy!Overall review:If you're looking for a fantastic Wireless battery operated lavalier microphone system you've come to the right place!I've done my research versus the DJI version and this one just has an overall larger sound stage to me.None-the-less you can't go wrong with either but this one is sleeker in my eyes!

I repeat; This is the wireless mic set you’ve been seeking. Don't even add them to your cart, use the buy now feature!Tl;dr version: Buy the Lark Max kit it’s the one you want.At first there there 3 choices, Hollyland Mars lark 150, the Rode wireless Go 2 kit, and the DJI wireless mic kit. Each one of these had benefits and drawbacks. The Hollyland Mars had the best form factor and that charging case was a game changer, and it had incredible range, and the mics it came with were kinda stale sounding, but when paired with a different lab mic, it’s sound was the best. but it was a pain to upgrade for Mac users, and it had no internal storage which was a huge deal breaker for most indie workflows. Now it seems like everyone has a cheap alternative to wireless mic kits, so how do you know which one is for you? Well, what are you doing with it, what sound do you want? how about battery life? file management? when you consider all these things, there seems to be a big 3 that would distinguish itself. Rode wireless Go 2, DJI wireless mic kit, and Hollyland MarsThe Rode wireless Go 2 supposedly had the bet sound, and it had internal storage and that’s… kinda where the benefits ended because but it was much more expensive, it had no kit case, just a floppy bag you could carry the gadgets around in, that offered no protection of these sensitive components, then you had to buy lavs for it, and the internal storage was trash, lost my files several times, and all the settings were janky and had to be app controlled. Then there was the batch file collection, oh my God, and the amount of times the files on the internal storage would just get lost. And the amount of updates this kit needed. I felt bamboozled hearing anyone positively review them, this set was such garbage.The DJI mic kit was like a great compromise between the two without a stupid app, could work with virtually any camera, though it did have these annoying slide on clamp components that are easy to lose and expensive to replace, it was self contained in. small case that also stored a few accessories and could keep he devices charged for a decent time, the DJI kit had decent in device controls, decent internal storage and file management, decent range, nothing to write home about- but the sound. It’s not bad, it’s just not stellar either, after hearing what sound could feel like on the Hollyland Lark kit, I was spoiled I guess. But I went with the DJI, they’re small, have their own charging cradle and when paired with decent lava, they produce a flat ok soundscape. They’re not special by any means but they’re do - but I was left wanting more.Enter the Hollyland Mars Lark Max kit. This is the one. Internal storage, internal noise cancellation if you want it (and it works nicely), it’s like they heard all the users of the original Lark 150 kit said “Ok, we hear you, and we’re listening.” And came back with the Lark Max. The lav mics are also an improvement! Seriously this is better in every way. More features, functions, and the bells and whistles you want and need, nothing you don’t. the device kit comes in a carrying case that holds everything you need while still being compact enough to slide into your bag, or sling with it's wrist strap. Inside is the actual module, which is angular as opposed to DJI's roundness (think he iPhone square frame vs. the slippery rounded frame of earlier models). These mic components produce a rich crisp sound that reminds me of a higher quality mic. The snap on wind shields have such a positive response to snapping it in place. The form factor of each transmitter allows a great purchase on your device that when your hands are sweating in 100 degree plus weather you’ll be able to attach these to your talent. And the Range? My God, there are a few Youtube videos that cover the distances so I won’t re-cover the same ground, suffice it to say, it far exceeds your expectations as well. Hollyland has made is so simple to snap go record, pause, play, transmit, transfer receive, edit, work with, and deliver audio, I’ve already decided to go ahead and get rid of my other set.So if you’ve been debating which set of wireless mic kit you need, you don’t have to, it’s already been done, and Hollyland Mars Lark Max is the clear winner. They’ve been used on indie film sets as well as YouTube channel vlog production, content creation, and have impressed some very respected audio engineers, and how do I know this? Because I’m one of the people that has used them for all the use cases and had audio engineers comment on the quality as well as then they’ve gone on to buy them. This is the kit you want. Hollyland Mars Lark Max, like many of the other affordable products they make, punch way above their weightless, and are worth far more than the price they’re charging. Get ‘em, use ‘em, and can’t want to see what you come up with.
