I was wrong. I'm keeping it and at the end of the video I'll tell you why!
==========================
Here's my previous assessment ..... I watched tons of reviews about this microphone and THEY ALL recommended buying it. You sure about that? Why would I buy it? They all pointed out all the pretty buttons and noise cancellation and how small the mic is and how good it sounds, etc.... The proof is really in the pudding.

Nice work admitting you were wrong, only a humble/real man can do that. I think your point is still valid in the case of using the USB C connector or lightning, you cannot separate the left right tracks is what I have understood, which is the only thing stopping me from buying it.
I have a Zoom PodTrak P4 that has a USB input. I'll try tonight and let you know if the mics get routed to seperated channels.
I tested my USB C combo and it doesn’t do stereo splitting. Would have been perfect otherwise.
I just sub to you. Soley due to the honesty. Not alot of people would take the time to correct their mistake. Keep doin great work brotha! Waiting for my m2s now...
You got me so close to not buy them! Thanks. Running back to the store. I'm subscribing tho!
This honesty is really great. Thanks for the follow up.
thanks for the clarification
I subscribed just because you made this video correction. I am looking at getting these and your first review had me questioning it, but now I think I will pull the trigger on them.
I am considering the purchase of a Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless Lavalier Microphone for iPhone/Android/Camera/PC/Laptop with Lightning/USB-C/Plug.
My question is this: would it be possible to use one of the Transmitters paired with the USB C Receiver connected to an iPhone 15 and the other Transmitter paired with the Lightning Receiver connected to an iPhone 12 at the same time, or would they interfere with one another?
Hi Randy, sorry for the delay I was away in montreal but that's a great question. It might be possible because the manual says that they use adaptive frequency hopping. I could try later tonight and let you know ASAP. To test I will plug up the lightning adapter to my iphone with one mic pod. Plug the USB C adapter into my android (but go into another room to do it) and then remove the other mic pod from the case and see if it connects to the other adapter. GREAT QUESTION!
respect you, very humble.
Can i separate the audio when i use with type-c or lightning receiver?
Hi, I tried with the lightning adapter but was unsuccessful. I even tried connecting the camera receiver to the iphone with an adapter but couldn't do it.
@@SirDodge i just found a solution on youtube. They said i need a lightning/usb-c to 3.5 jack adapter and a TRS to TRRS cable (the original is TRS to TRS). Then you plug TRS to the camera receiver and TRRS to lightning/usb-c adapter.
Even easier if you could find a lightning/usb-c to 3.5 mm jack male. Someone said on Amazon review
@@tsubakurame.travel beautiful! I have to see if I have one laying around here somewhere. I remember having this "sort of" issue using a rode mic and my iphone. I'll keep you updated and if you test first, let me know. Most likely I will have to order one from the big online box store that begins with an A ... lol
@@tsubakurame.travel Can you send a link to the vid/post you're referencing. I have the cable (TRS - TRRS) and the lightning adapter and no luck! All audio goes to a single mono channel regardless of the setting on the receiver.
@@SirDodge hey, i tried the same and no luck for me. But i found the solution. I bought the Boya BY-K2 cable and it works perfectly for my DJI action 2. Stereo, being able to adjust the gain directly. If there is no similar cable in your place, you should go to a audio shop and try. I tried 3-4 cables (all type c to TRS) and only the boya one works. I think its because of the chip inside the cable. And you could find a similar one with TRS to lightning for iphone. Good luck for you.
You can connect the M2 to your iPhone 15 by using an SC7 (TRS to TRRS0 cable and a 3.5mm USB-C adaptor. Using the camera transmitter. I tried it and it works well and separates the two mics perfectly!
Hi, that may be true for the 15, I have the 14 and using the SC7 and Lightening to 3.5mm adapter doesn't work OR; at least I couldn't get it to work.
@@SirDodge I have not tried with the lightning connector. But will with my sons 11 pro max and see if I can figure out a solution. If I do I will give you an update. The mic itself is very impressive as I plan on the rode wireless pro also, but this lil thing is a beast!
@@MrMonk330 I appreciate you! I rarely use my iphone to record video but having the option AND knowing how to work out the audio without carrying a separate recorder would be great. You are correct tho, these mics are very impressive!
@@SirDodge I have the iPhone 14 Pro and it works. You'll need a lightning to 3.5mm adapter and SC7 (TRS to TRRS) Cable like you mentioned but using the camera transmitter. I had no issues. I rarely record on the phone as well but I saw this comment and thought of giving it a try. It works fine on mine. But just to note, I didn't use Rode SC7. Just a regular TRS to TRRS cable bought off the shelf.
@@HanafiMohdSam wow.. I have the Rode SC7 so I might have to try it with a generic TRS to TRRS cable.
If I understand everything correctly - there is still no easy way to send the two mics to separate channels for easy editing afterward. Seems like a lot of convoluted methods proposed here that doen't work for everyone. Maybe in the M3??
Hi, if you're using the camera adapter with an external recorder it's easy to separate the channels with a 3.5mm to Dual XLR. I still haven't figured out to accomplish that with either mobile adapter. I know more expensive brands have controls for each mic on the receiver, not that case here. The more I think about it, the more I feel like someone with no experience with audio devices wouldn't know they separate the channels.
@@SirDodge I have access to a Focusrite Scarlett i2i which I connect by USB to my laptop and record with Audacity (standard XLR mics). This would be a nice fix if it works. Thanks for the idea.
Dude what recorder did connect the receiver to?
Tascam DR-40x
@@SirDodge thanks for the reply man
The audio actually sounds good on it.
True! and there's no processing on it, not even compression.
Just for clarification. The usb recivers recird diffrent audio tracks when two mics is connected, and is set to stereo mode?
Hi, I was unable to get the USB or Lightning Receiver to separate the channels on my iPhone however, someone with the USB iPhone was successful in doing so. I was able to split the channels using the camera adapter with an external recorder.
@@SirDodge Thank you :)
Imma try splitting it with the usb type C, in combination with an Android device. Should i tell you if it works with android?
@@soysmc2933 Yes, let us know if it works.
@@SirDodge Nah. Im sad to disappoint you, bit it doesnt work :(
@@soysmc2933 That's too bad.
can I use the mic on discord for vc?
Yes, you'd have to connect the receiver to your machine and your machine will have to recognize it as the device you want to use as the mic.
U the best 😮
If you haven't purchased them, I recommend them. They sound and look great. I'm trying to find a way to cover up the light now.. lol
@@SirDodge I thank you ! Much love from Vancouver Canada! 🇨🇦
Sub!
I think you should go back and delete the erroneous video so others will not get confused if they don't happen to see this video.
Confused about what? That you still can't separate the channels if you're using the iphone or USB-C adapter? Or Confused about having to actually put the camera adapter in stereo mode? We don't hide the truth here. Most people are going to opt to save money and NOT buy the full set so tell me again, what's confusing?
So, you recognized you messed up .... but you still leave the other video online, misleading people? Shameful. Your channel, not the product.
I actually left it up so that ppl can see that it's okay to make mistakes AND thanks for your participation.
@@SirDodge That's wrong... it's misleading people and probably unfairly hurting that company. It's shameful to leave that video online.
@@353Studios How much they paying you? CashApp me the fee and I'll take it down.
@@SirDodge No. They dont even know me. It's just a matter of being honest and fair. You can keep the video on ... it tells a lot about your channel.
@SirDodge - here's a suggestion - combine your "rant" video with your apology video to make a single video. If they run back to back as a single vid everyone will get your point that if you make a mistake you own it and change your opinion. Remove the originals and you're all done.
