    Someone really needs to 3d print a microphone locking system for this device like they did with the rode wireless go 2. Maybe a cage that has a slot that the clip can stay secured in. Any way, great video. Love your personality man. Keep it up

      @@Mr.C0ffee and the Xvive U5T2 Deity Pocket Wireless I both reviewed a year ago or more. Don't know why so few have locking lavalier ports. Almost all lavalier only mics, especially pro systems and many of the VHF and UHF systems have locking lavalier ports as well. Heck the cheapo Travor microphone system I reviewed 2 years ago (deleted the review yesterday since it is discontinued) but left a hack video to remove hiss for free also had a locking lavalier port.

    When giving lessons on the dance floor, I am using Sennheiser EW100 + DPA 4088. Now I am wondering if the DPA headset would play nice with the Lark Max for streaming + online meetings. Any suggestions?

      @@sparkestudio Thanks for the reply. To be more precise, I am a little concerned about the bias voltage. For optimum performance the DPA mike needs a bias / supply voltage of 5V to 7V. For lower sound pressure, 3 or 4 volts would be sufficient.

      @@helidrones you're welcome. I love my Zoom F3 cause I can do anything with it. I can hack it to be an audio interface for my phone. I can power with a battery bank, I can use a Rode VXLRPRO and connect any wired lavalier or any TRS mic or use an adapter and record a guitar. It is 32bit float so the audio NEVER clips. I have "HOT TIPS" videos on how to make almost anything work with anything... 3 of those videos are the Zoom F3.

    Can you show or tell me exactly what you did to the dead cat to make it better? It's originally a hole shape like a cross. Did you cut into a circle or what did you do?

    • @sparkestudio
      @sparkestudio  3 месяца назад +1

      You can cut the flaps at an angle off BUT it can come loose which means you may need a bit of glue to keep it attached fully. The glue to hollyland appliesbis very close to the hole and is even applied to those edge flaps.

      HOWEVER in these movie scenes on this video. I don't use the dead cat at all. I have the mics simply covered by clothing. That is the method I prefer

    Did u have to increase increase the volume in post because mines is sounds low and i have to increase it in post I feel as though i dont need to do so?
    Also i see ur output is at a -4 whats the purpose of the output
    I also have to increase the gain to a +10 in order to actual hear something

    • @sparkestudio
      @sparkestudio  6 месяцев назад +2

      There are volume levels for both the receiver and the transmitters. I got over those aspects on my first review where I go through all the settings and what they do. This is more of a revisit. I have plenty of volume when turning the reciever up with the transmitter to like +3db.
      Sadly since I have no computer access where I am I can not post a link to my review... Don't remember if I posted in the description or not. I try to make my reviews as detailed as possible... Hollyland Lark Max comparing to Rode Wireless posted about 5 months ago.

      @sparkestudio  3 месяца назад

      those formats are normal. Might somehow be that drive letters are missing that can be placed back via disc management in Windows? sending a short clip to show more what is happening can be done direct message on facebook or Discord. On my channel name on my home page beside my channel logo I have 2 social links that takes you to either location directly.

    No audio drifting issues over the long period of time?

    • @sparkestudio
      @sparkestudio  6 месяцев назад +2

      Audio drift is not a problem with Sony cameras but can be with my Fujifilm X-S20 camera. Every 30 minutes the Hollyland Lark Max makes a new file for the prevention of audio drift but so does the Zoom F3 and most other audio recorders.
      You must install the firmware update for the Hollyland Lark Max if you want to prevent audio drift that seems to be an issue out of the box as shown updated on Hollyland online.

      @@Mr.C0ffee Thank you, I started this channel to help others. Too many reviewers wouldn't tell me anything or were all hype or they make everything sound like the best so what do I get? Spent so much money needlessly, hope this channel keeps growing so I can review more to keep informing and comparing.
      I am thinking of applying my long term experience of my Fujifilm X-S20 in a video review within 2 weeks a bunch of camera equipment reviews. I have a new monitor, new follow focus (not powered) camera grips but never reviewed any of it. X-S20 only initial experience where I was fighting the hype where everyone claimed it was "perfect", "the best".
      On my other channel I made some initial reviews of the camera; hoping for one more firmware update to maybe take one last set of fixes and see where we are at now.

      With the new V1.0.4.9 firmware dated December 5, 2023 is that still happening? I never had the reciever discharge but I also never used the firmware that shipped with it, I immediately updated to the June 2023 firmware

      @sparketech 7 месяцев назад +1

      The Virso M2 is a nice little system, use case makes a difference. If you have any questions about microphones wired or wireless I'll try to help.
      I don't know if you saw my Godox Verso M2 review right here:
      ruclips.net/video/O3jhQlomUiw/видео.htmlsi=mT4uw1c1izR_qWOM
      In that review I talk about battery life internal recording and not and conclude with the hiss that happens when boosting audio at 16bit. The Hollyland is certainly better, when I shouted into the Virso's 110 SPL it distorted compared to the Lark Max 130 SPL.
      I often try to make head to head comparison videos, been so busy with my full time job as an electrician and my Tech channel and working with an actor on his channel I've really been at a loss for time for videos on this Studio channel as well. I literally have about 3 videos to do but I have no time to get them done... shotgun mic windshield, Neewer Camera bag with lock, an affordable carbon fiber boom pole and more.
