HollylandLark Max Wireless Lavalier Microphone System with Professional ENC, Studio Quality, 22H Duration, 820ft(250m) Range, Compatible with Cameras, iPhone, Android, PC-Black + 2X Turnstile Mics

I have shot a few video interviews with this and it is just so good. I am only an amateur hobbyist who knows nothing, but this has just made everything so easy for me. Menu is easy and almost instinctive, although I did have to learn that there is a difference between gain and volume; two different things. Both you can easily adjust. About audio quality... When I was reviewing in post, I didn't see any reason to mess with the audio; it really is great as is. I did use TRS to TRS cable from the receiver to my Sony a7iv ... That was easy. I did use noise cancelation, and there is my only complaint. You are supposed to be able to turn ENC on or off (Environment Noise Cancelation) with a press of a button on the microphone ... But here is the problem: it doesn't always work. What's supposed to happen is, by default, when you take the mic out of the case, it's in regular mode (blue light), then, if you press the ENC button on the mic, it's supposed to turn green (indicating that ENC is on). Then, if you press the ENC button again, it's supposed to turn blue (indicating that you are in regular mode and no longer ENC mode). But this function doesn't always work. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So mysterious. If you fiddle with it long enough, repeatedly, it MAY eventually work, maybe, but it's not an on-the-spot-on-demand-one-click function. Nope. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Good luck to us all. Everything else about the Lark Max is just so good! It's expensive, but you get what you pay for here. I personally think it is worth every penny! I came from the Lark M1, and that's not even in the same neighborhood as this when it comes to ease of use. I don't think so. This has an actual menu and there is a physical knob to adjust volume ... You can actually see and feel what volume you would using. I LOVE that there is a headphone input and that's crazy awesome coming from the Lark M1. So, to be clear, you get BOTH the port for the TRS cable (receiver to camera) AND you get another dedicated port for a headphone so you can monitor and adjust volume in real time. It's my first time ever having this capability and I can't ever go back to shooting "blind" and hoping things work out. You will have to invest for a set of headphones with a 3.5mm jack though. About the range ... I am only going to be using this for interviews and I am not going beyond 15 feet max. I just don't have a need to ever have to go beyond that distance, even 15' would be a weird interview, but if I did need a longer range, maybe for a sporting event, I do know the the ENC function works very well. So, I bet the range is good, but I personally just don't need 800 feet! Goodness, what for???!!! The case charges the two transmitters (microphones) and the one receiver without being plugged in to a wall outlet. The actual case is a battery itself that charges the transmitters and the receiver. It's cool, and works great. I have shot the past two days and I have not once considered plugging this set up to a charger. I'm not shooting a two hour long movie. So, I have had zero concern about the batteries on this set up. Thinking that the battery life is more that adequate for my use case. By the way, I recommend spending the extra $20 to get the Lark Max package with the two lavaliere mics. It's normally $30 each, so $60 for two. But, if you get the package with the two lavaliere mics, it's "only" an additional $20. Not sure I'll use these yet, but maybe there's a use-case for this someday- maybe. I have tried all the mic set ups ... With out without the fluffy furry things, I THINK they are called "dead cats," I'm not sure, buts the fluffy things to block wind noise. It works and I'm using it each time. I have tried shooting with the mics inside the shirt/sweater and outside, and, it works. Couldn't really tell a difference, but I have noticed that I am kind of sort of maybe getting a better quality then the speaker holds it in their hand ... Kind of, but it's so hard to tell! For most of the things I shot, the mics were mounted on the shirt. All that to say that I'm not sure the lavaliere mics are going ever be necessary for my use case. That maget by the way is surprisingly powerful. I mean, that thing is so strong that's it's kind of hard to pull off the back plate of the mic; you kind of really have to pry it off and a string finger. Otherwise , the clips work well and I have no complaints at all there. Anyways, if you can afford this, I recommend it. If you can't, then I recommend you wait, save up, then, get this. I would skip the Lark M1 altogether. I have not tested this (Lark Max) with my Google phone yet. It SHOULD work, I hope, but I was never able to get the Lark M1 to work with a phone, any phone, with any combination of cables and any version of adapters. I hope the Lark Max can do it. Maybe I'll update this after testing that soon. So, get this, but, good luck with that ENC button!

Great mic for vlogging or youtube.

I use these as a teacher (university) lecture recordings using OBS studio. Perfect!

Typical Hollyland design.! Everything about this product is fabulous, the mechanical design, the operation and of course the audio is exactly as they say.!!! Thank you, the equipment is a pleasure to use.

I specialize in television show production. These mics are on par with a $10,000 Lectrosonics system - no joke.

Amazing for the price point. These are quick to set up and work right out of the box. I picked them up to help a friend with some EPK interview shoots, and they handled it well. The onboard recording is solid—only 24-bit, sure, but totally usable.The auto-record feature is a little weird. It starts recording when it's taken from the cradle, which I didn’t love. But triggering recording from the RX works fine and avoids that issue. It stores the file on the actual TX, so just hook that up to your device, laptop, PC and that's how you transfer.Battery life is excellent. I do wish the RX had a better mounting option, something for an articulating arm or rig mount would’ve been ideal. I don’t use hotshoes, so I had to get creative. The included wind socks do a decent job in light breeze. Just be aware they’re a little heavy on clothing, so clip placement matters.Overall, pretty impressive setup at this price. Good sound, strong battery, and not too fiddly.
