@Aiden Avi Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Aiden Avi it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Issac Milo you are welcome :)
Solid review and you picked up on some issues others didn't been doing testing for hollyland for a while on these and providing feedback (not really as a reviewer) but will post a few more details and ideas i shared with them later today in a more nerdy video. The box issue also helps if you close it slightly hold back i assumed it was just my first batch unit but seems its on all units its a small thing but little weird indeed.
That hollyland is pretty convincing! I am debating that or the new rode
Awesome stuff, love the review! :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. ✌
Dual channel mics can be a huge asset in post production.
Thanks for the review.
Its biggest 2 gains are indeed the 4 or 5 different ways you can use either 1 or 2 mics for interview and safety track modes, hot swapping (while one recharges) and price given that you only need 1 set insead of 2 sets (say with the rode) and it includes to lav mics and a wayyy better wind deathcat system that can't drop off.
Thanks for the info! I bought mine after watching this! Also, curious as to what you used to rotate the receiver at 9:30. Cheers!
Great video! Your audio preset really helps!! Do u explain in any video how to create one? Or where can i download it? Thanks!
Thanks for the review! Hollyland has been knocking it out of the park with solid products at great prices. This looks like yet another product that will do well for them. I have the Hollyland 400S wireless system, and it's a really great performer and very reasonable price. I also have had great customer support from Hollyland.
Regarding the built-in and supplied lav mic, the Rode mic sounds much better to me. You would get better audio "depth" if the lav mic is placed at the sternum, which will pick up more of the chest cavity. In that case, the Lark lav might sound very good. However, I also suggest using a professional quality lav mic, which can improve the audio quality of any wireless system. For the price, this looks like a great value for interviews and audio within a short transmission range. The other reviews I've seen exhibit range dropouts around 75 feet, which is disastrous for any critical audio recording.
Q: What is the approximate battery charge for each of the units, or how long will they operate before you have to recharge them? The charging case is a great idea, but I'm curious if these will last a 10 hour shoot day if left on.
Hi Dave. This is Albert from Hollyland.
The power duration of the wireless charging case is up to 17 hours which can charge the whole set of equipment 2.5 times. After fully charged, the transmitter can be used continuously for 4 hours and the receiver can be used continuously for 7 hours.
Unit Charging Time: receiver need charging 2 hours, transmitter need charging 1.5 hour, charging case need charging 2.5 hours
The range issue is only a issue if you want it to be you will find many test walking 100meters. Indeed these small mics are not for all situations but they do in my testing and reviews i have watched so far perform 20% to 50% better then the rode does. Does that mean at 50meters you should have your body inbetween ? No thats out of the expectation level of something like this. Best to compare it with other small solutions and this covers 90% of the usecases for the last 10% more traditional systems are needed (with all their downsides).
Loved seeing how you figured out gain staging in a real world test 10:30 great explanation 👍
Did you try using the Tascam lav in combination with the Lark system? Probably the biggest difference in sound quality comes from the lav mic itself. Still quite a good deal if you combine this system with some higher end lavs...
Nice review but that receiver is huge! Yes you are right the transmitter(s) are super small which is great! Can’t see putting that receiver on a point and shoot or gopro because of the size.
I like the design of the Hollyland receiver and transmitters but the Rode sounds better.
👍
It only has 3hr battery life too
Same, the Rode sounds better.
Tascam by far the best, warmer than the others and higher sound quality generally. 2nd place Rode, still warm but a bit muddy on the low-end. Last place Hollyland, harsh mid/high-end and zero meat in the lower frequencies.
👌🤔
Saramonic blink 500 pro takes the crown
Nice vid! Any idea how to upgrade the firmware?? Thanks :)
Great video thanks. Would have loved the OH to be rotated so it was not upside down but apart from that top video.
Sorry about that, I `100% forgot!!!! 🙈
@@theTechNotice lol
Any idea if this Lark 150 will work with GoPro 8 with the black brick audio adapter? Thanks.
So with the Hollyland, you cant record on the actual receiver? you have to have an additional device to record the audio??? On the new DJI it has inbuilt memory to record the actual audio!
Can you compare this to the Blink 500 Pro B2?
I come from a long time ago where taping concerts(at home listening) were done on a portable cassette deck..now the the possibilities are endless. I bet the Grateful Dead would endorse this product being that they loved to have bootlegs of their shows.
😂
Thank you for the video! I've purchased the Hollyland Lark 150 myself and recorded with both mics, but I noticed only afterwards I was in mono, which merged all my sounds in one audio channel. Is there a way to separate them in post production?
Yes!
Depends which editing software you use, but in premiere look for an effect called 'fill right with left' or vice versa
I was so going to get the Lark 150 but the Rode does sound better.so will stick with my Wireless Go. I guess Rode is still my go to audio company .
👍
The safest way is record audio with this kind of equipment is to get the tascam DR10cs use your lav of choice then plug in the lav into the DR10cs out of that, into the rode this way if you experience drop out you've got a backup on you recorder
👍
So cool
😎
So cool I want one. Next time rotate the overhead shot so were not watching it upside down :)
👍🙈
@@theTechNotice great stuff bro
So if i added a more expensive lav mic , something like a Sanken to the Holly it would sound much better?
Yes!
How much does the charge last and how much take to fully chage the transmiter?
The power duration of the wireless charging case is up to 17 hours.
RX: 7.5h of use, Fully charged for 1.5h
Storage Box: charge 2.5 times for 2 TX add 1RX
How's the noise floor on these? Most of these 2.4 kits have crazy noise
Got my Hollyland Lark150 two weeks and have to say I am so disappointed with them. There is so much hiss noise compared to my Rode Go. They are actually unusable. If any of ye guys know how to solve this PLEASE REPLY. I really was so looking forward to getting them.
should have done a range test too
Did you just discover how gain staging works? :)
How long does a charge lasts? How long to charge it back?
The power duration of the wireless charging case is up to 17 hours which can charge the whole set of equipment 2.5 times. After fully charged, the transmitter can be used continuously for 4 hours and the receiver can be used continuously for 7 hours.
@@albertchan1731 How long to charge back the receiver and transmitter
@@stidkriss Charging Time: receiver need charging 2 hours, transmitter need charging 1.5 hour, charging case need charging 2.5 hours
@@albertchan1731 jesus thats quite long, thanks!
@@stidkriss You are welcome
Wouldn't the noise be explained by the preamp in your recording device, if you send a weak signal and let the recorder do the lifting, vs lift the level in the receiver an send an already adjusted signal to the recorder.
Basically what I'm trying to say it, the noise is from the recorder not the Lark nesessarly.
If both of the comparison devices have been sent to the 'recorder' then the comparison is accurate since you can rule out the 'recorder' character and hear the difference. Said that there is probably something that the recorder also adds to the equation.
so if you want to hear the pure noise of Lark, it would be very difficult technically. :)

How high is the gain when using them?
Ok if you are going to do Real test do it in real situations. and to compare this to the zoom and tascam is not comparing apples to apples but apples to peaches. I just bough this, but Note they are Transmitter and receiver which means they only work as well as your talent has them with in range of each other. If you turn your back to the receiver and you're only 8' away guess what's going to happen it's going to cut out, but if you are wearing the tascam and hit record and turn your back it will still record. Most times you use these are not ideal settings. I'm going to use for weddings during ceremony and speeches during reception, and will still keep my audio backups. What I'm saying in a long winded way is if you're doing a review do a realistic review.
I still preferer Sennheiser G3
First baby
yeah man! :)
The only downside of Lark 150 is the battery life.
The Rode sounds way better and is better built, I wouldn't waste your money on the Hollyland and all that fancy packaging, stick with someone who knows how to make microphones, Rode
quality. 1.tascam 2.rode 3.lark - lark sounds cheap and thin
