Hollyland Lark Max Duo - Better Wireless Mics than DJI and Rode!

The Hollyland Lark Max is a great solution for filmmakers looking for a minimalist wireless sound kit that records great sounding audio. I carry this wireless kit around with me wherever I go now and it packs a unique set of features that make it super easy to get nice crisp audio.

Ridiculous, how good your video is! Crisp and still thorough!

[@muletto]

Thanks for this video, i think this mics sound better than DJI and Rode too. I’ve just received mine today and i can’t wait to record videos and hear the difference with the iPhone mic 😃

[@EvanSchneider]

Nice! Enjoy!

[@1pac882]

If recording outdoors in a smartphone, which gain levels would you set the mic to?

[@grahameconnor]

In terms of audio quality, I actually feel that Rode and DJI wireless mics are a bit better than Hollyland. However, when it comes to user experience, they outperform Hollyland by a long shot.

[@CC-gt3ro]

Can you record in stereo with only one transmitter and its output connected to a stereo mic?

[@AlbowaSinema]

You have convinced me to buy this. I think it is exactly what I need.

[@SomRoy92]

very helpful video Evan. Can you please name the tool where you synced the audio files? I loved how easy it was to sync video with hollyland audio.

[@EvanSchneider]

All using DaVinci Resolve’s tools. Audio sync via waveform!

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Cool product. Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

[@Lilysummersss]

Will you be releasing a video about the DJI Mic 2 in the near future? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the DJI Mic 2.

[@fangsoffuego]

I really wanna see more comparisons between the lark max and the dji mics

[@Mr.C0ffee]

Someone needs to 3d print a locking mic cage like they did for the rode go 2

[@pcoussa]

Great review bro!

[@BrianMackey2010]

Do you know how to set ip up with the rodecaster duo?

[@1pac882]

What level gains on mic would u set if recording on a smartphone?

[@simpletraveltech]

I've got this sistem and it's the best sound compared to DJI Wireless Mic, Rode Wireless Mics. I love it and it's with me everywhere.

[@EvanSchneider]

Yes, by far the best sounding, which in my opinion is more important than any other features! Love it.

Hi Evan I have an off topic question
I shot flog 2 h.265 10 bit and uploaded it to resolve free version and I’m only getting audio. I have installed countless versions of hevec encoders but nothing seems to work. I’ve been researching for over a month now but it’s still nothing other than buying full resolve version is the only option
Should I just switch to premier pro monthly sub or just throw away my camera I’m super frustrated

[@EvanSchneider]

I believe that's actually a limitation of the free version of Resolve, with certain 10-bit 4:2:2 media files. Try converting it using Shutter Encoder www.shutterencoder.com/en/

[@Slyclientthetechdad]

Awesome video, i watched it from beginning to end. Im a nocie at naking vidoes and was wondering if you could suggest a way i can clip the transmitter to my samsung galaxy s23 ultra. I have a stang that i use to shoot content with my phone. However, there is no place to put the clip

[@EvanSchneider]

Look into the Moment mobile camera cage

[@Zelegant_tv]

I experienced one thing waired about this Mic I was shooting and the Mic 1 battery low cos I was unable to take a charger along with me on that Set and the Mic went off when my brother brought me the charging caseand I put the mic in there to charge there was no charging indicator light on I brought it out and I used direct type C charger to charge it directly there was no sign of charging atall I tried every possible ways I know but all in vain so I later put it back into the the charging Case and I left it there till next day there interval will be like 27hrs later immediately I opened it to check it again suddenly ithat mic 1 came up and started charging again.I don't know why? Is it becos it has been fully exhausted? and why it took it so long to charge again? Any experience and explanation will help thanks

[@EvanSchneider]

Never experienced this issue before, but glad you got it up and working again!

[@Writti]

In Windos 10 Pro don't work for me. Save mode and no view disks. Maybe I ugly model?

[@MichaelKordahi]

hey. great vid. do you know if you can add additional mics?

[@EvanSchneider]

I’m not sure

[@naim-ferguson]

Thanks for this! Btw what editor do you use?
@EvanSchnieder

[@EvanSchneider]

Yup! Resolve
