I'd personally take the ambient noise over the weird sounding voice with noise cancelling. I also think it's weird to see a busy background and hear none of it. I'm sure it has it's applications, but I'd rather have the ambient noise. Still loving the channel Mark. Too poor to buy anything you review, but I can dream!
Yeah - it's great without the noise cancelling. But who knows - one day you may need it. Live streaming in a hurricane?? We've got you covered.
@Aprons & Overalls You forgot to mention that there's a limit though, if something has to be recorded, but the background sound is absolutely overbearing and overshadowing the speaker/vlogger, I'll take the tin-ny sound of the noise cancelling over that any day of the week. I've seen this before from novice vloggers, you might ask "Why didn't they just move to a quieter place?" I asked the same thing... I think this is where the noise cancelling shines, and you want that in your arsenal of tools for the 'just in case'.
Me too. I think some people like me have nothing against busy noise and such. Loud noise never bothers me. While for others it can be very annoying.
Noice cancelling is great if you do full sound design for your projects.
My advice and this might sound weird is, record surround/ ambient sound separately & voice separate, then you unlock a whole world editing and better final products 😅
if your background is unnecessarily loud, I would immediately turn it off.
Yep, I'm weird, I like the noise. Gotta hear all the noises, the vlogger, the birds, the traffic, the giggles, the cursing...ya know, life.
Can’t just mute out life!!
The 1st 10 seconds convinced me. Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Really appreciate your efforts. I have been researching from last 15 days but majority of the videos I saw were shot in the garden or forest. But your video properly showed if the device actually works or not. Thank you so much :)
First, my M1 is arriving today. Yeehaa. Regarding the noise canceling, I would need to do some tests to see if I can improve the quality in post. As it is straight out of camera, it does sound a bit like a transistor radio. So, I will perform some tests with the noise canceling and report back my findings. Thanks for producing another video about the M1. Having purchased it on Prime Day, I saved a substantial amount of money.
it’s great. and it is a nice idea to have the feature and see if we can make it work. for the most part, I would do my own isolating in post.
THANK YOU! This is the video I needed to see. I am constantly doing interviews near sporting events and festivals. I need to know how my mics peform before I commit to interviews. Thank you Mark for this video.
Another great video! Mine is arriving today. You made great points about the use cases too. I'd want to touch up either recordings but in specific settings the noise cancellation might just be easier to use for quick turnarounds. Thank you!
that's pretty cool! also congrats on being the first person in Canada to have a drivers license. Rick Mercer approved!
It's when you get 10K subscribers when they let you apply for one
The cost of this stands out above most of the other options. I don't know that a professional would want them but the part time or hobbyist, these would be pretty good. Actually demonstrating the noise canceling helps a lot. Sometimes you wish you could really see how something will sound prior to buying so this really does help.
I definitely prefer the natural sound, but it would be an incredible asset for being in places with copyrighted music if you're filming for RUclips
Definitely preferred the natural sound. This video was very helpful. I ordered this unit for it's size and form factor, but I'd rather fix the noise in post for this one.
Same!!
WOW. I dig this review so much! Very detailed and we can actually see the difference!
Thanks so much!
I use an AI "Voice Isolation" function in Davinci Resolve. I works really better than any built in mic internal noise reduction function.. But anyway Hollyland is one of the best mic brand
When compared side by side, noise cancelled audio always has that artificial sound to it. However, by itself and especially after a short while it starts to sound natural and pleasing. I’ve gone ahead and ordered the M1 but have some reservations about it not having internal recording so may ultimately switch it for the costlier DJI
It sounds really good.
Hi Mark. I watched your previous video and I thought the same think about the audio with the noise reduction. I just bought this microphone today. Thanks 🙏
I do a lot of recording in a gym which I use for RUclips instructionals. The problem I encountered was that the music in the background would get picked up and and I'd get constant copyright warnings. Since using this mic, no longer happens
That's awesome. Is the noise cancelling on or off when you record?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Noise Cancelling on. And even with that, my voice sounds clearer/truer than when I was using the Fifine unit I had before
In noisy environments it will suffice. In normal environments I wouldn't use it. Unfortunately the algorithm also impacts the vocal frequencies.
Sounds great, I would use both modes
Great video!!! This is EXACTLY the kind of tests we wanted to see. Thanks so much for doing this video! :)
Hi Mark thanks for the video, how do you set up the volume in the Sony zv e10 so that it is still high and also avoid the white noise that comes from the camera? thanks!
hmmm... for live streaming in noisy environments too.
As a side note, depending on how the viewer was listening, like with phone speakers, the noise cancelling may actually sound better to them because those speakers may not resolve your voice compared to the background sound, like real headphones or speakers will.
yes - it’s true. I’ve watched some youtubers who mix their audio so it plays best on a phone. I am not one of those youtubers 🤣 But this is a great point and about the streaming too!! No time for noise reduction in live streaming.
Nicely done the review👍👍
Hi Mark I have bought the Lark M2s to go with my ZVE10 but I am having a problem Mic 1 records to the L channel and Mic 2 to the right channel but I want them to record in stereo or else one of us comes out of the left speaker and the other the right is it possible to make them transmit to my ZVE10 or ZV1 in stereo? Even if I just use 1 of the mics and keep the other in the charging case it only records to 1 channel. I can change it to dual mono in FCPX in post but it is just one more step to faff around with, with every clip. any ideas?
I'm so excited I got these for prime day and used your link to make you stinking rich. I'm too lazy, I mean I don't have time for post processing ;)
Who isn’t lazy?? 🤣 Thanks for thinking of me!!
Excellent review. Is it possible to use it both with camera wnr phone or its phone only?
I would use it as my primary mic on sony a6400... I almost always record in a room. But sometimes i would use it while fishing...so remote feature is big plus.
Cheers
Sounds much better with noise cancelling turned off. I hate these noise cancelling features.
I got this cause of the way u plug it in. I have a otterbox case and I got the c1 and it wouldn’t plug into my phone cause of the otterbox case. So I got the m1
Yeah no, it sounds much better with noise cancelling off. It GUTS your voice and chops the mic quality in half when turned on. The mic is already doing a pretty good job picking up your voice without much street noise regardless. Good video tho
yes I still prefer it with no noise cancelling
It’s not too bad, it’s usable if. But I think Final Cut Pro can isolate voice better.
I think so too
Will this block out the sound of a drill?
I have bought M1. With noise cancellation, it reduces the volume. Do you think I made a mistake by buying M1 duo instead of rode/DJI single? I think rode/DJI does not have any extra button for removing background noise, it automatically removes it without compressing the volume. I get lots of your video suggestions, so today I subscribed.
the m1 is great and comparable in sound to the rode and DJI. it will still have noise suppression without the “noise cancelling mode”. just use the regular mode
Hi Mark, I recently switched to ZV-E10 from A6400 and realized that the ZV-e10 pre-amp is not as good as A6400.. when I use an external audio interface and plug that into my A6400 with 1 audio level, it's much better than ZV-E10 with 1 audio level. Do you feel the same? and the thing is, when I gained the audio level on my zv-e10 to about 5, I will get a better result..
The zv-e10 can go lower than the a6400 in terms of volume. So the 1 is less loud than the 1 on the a6400. I find this very useful. Mics that would peak on my a7iii (similar setup to the a6400) sound good on the zv-e10. I set the zve10 at volume 3 usually when I plug in a mic. Sounds great.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ah I see, lower threshold for more sensitive microphone.. Thanks a lot!
What is the difference between the Hollyland Lark M1 and the Moma Lark M1?
no difference, they are the same company. Hollyland is the export version and Moma us domestic
💯💪🏽
Honestly although it may cancel noise, for some reason it was clipping. Not very pleasant.
No - I wouldn't use it with the noise cancelling on. The regular mode is much better
Will mobile speaker work if Rx is connected?
I have just got my set, thanks for this! I plugged it in via USB C to my mac and directly into Logic. Even on the highest gain level, I'm getting input volume really low at like -45. Do you find the same and you have to amp up the gain in post?
This video will be more popular than the real review :))
It did a fantastic job here man. I was not expecting.
haha - thanks. So far no one is watching it 🤣
i thought the original sounded better albeit some atmospheric bg noise. When you turned the unit on it sounded like you went underwater
Yes - I much prefer it without the noise cancelling
I love your local Toronto Videos!
Makes me wanna buy the product right away when i see how good it works in the same environment that I’m going to be recording!
Same as you, post processing delivers a better sound I think. Thank you for the video.
I bought some of these for my channel, thank you 🙏
Well I took your advice on the nikon zed 30. Bought it on ebay for 659 with 16-50 lens. I will never run more than 10 min in 4k. But then I felt so guilty for not using your affiliate link I went and bought the lark m 1 thru your link. I don’t know if it was mesmerized by your jazz singer voice or my sons crowing rooster. Anyway since I will be using it at 655 feet its a win! Hope ya get stinkin rich! John
Don’t ever feel guilty about getting a deal!! But thanks for going through the M1 Link 😃 I’ll be rich at the end of the month. I can feel it
Bought this mic because of your last video on Prime Day. You can call yourself now an official Influencer Mr. Mark Bennett. BTW... do you ever plan to go onto an underground pyramid expedition? I can be your camera man... ehhh... I mean I'm asking for a friend.
When I’m filming in the pyramids, I’ll hit you up. 🇪🇬
Mine arrive on Sunday! Honestly, it still sounds good in normal mode, I'll likely only use the noise cancelling in really extreme situations
Same 😀
I prefer abit of background noise, more realistic (or natural)
great, i'm going to buy it. should be a perfect match with my zv-e10.
i like toronto, i just got hollyland, i live in toronto, i subscribe
All good things
Good words: I am not important... well, I am important
I totally use the noise canceling on my Zoom and Teams meetings and my usb mic. This is great for a lavaliere mic
Much better in normal mode.
I think so too
I wish they make magnetic clip or something to hide the mic even in t-shirts. Other than that, it looks pretty good option.
I shoot wedding videos and one time there was so much echo resonating in the church. So without the noise cancelation on, will it pick up the echo?
It will help with that - but in general any cavalier will be very helpful in an echoey room
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you for the feedback. For the price and quality, I might pick this mic up.
Got curious about when you say post processing to cut out the background noise, please if you can consider making a tutorial of it, thanks Cheers
Noted!
Can u plug a lapel mic to the transmitter?
no, unfortunately not.
after recording with it today - it recorded radio signal instead of interview, how is it even possible? and how do we fit it?
there must have been inference at the same frequency. I’ve never experienced this, but it can happen with wireless mics. Hopefully that will be the only time it happens. if you try the mic in a different environment and something like that happens again, I would return it.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you so much for your advice, it was very strange. We tried it at home and it was fine.
which one are you using? mono or stereo?
mono because I’m only use one transmitter
Can you use an actual lavalier mic on the m1 instead of having hang on ur T-shirt?
unfortunately no - that’s why I use the lark 150 more
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I don’t like the mic just hanging on the t-shirt. But I guess for the price that’s what one should expect.
Can you compare the new comica
I did that video yes ruclips.net/video/hb04R8oOZv4/видео.html
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanksss
Solid overview of the noise cancelling, thank you! Would this mic setup be suitable for a live event where the voice being captured by the wireless mic is boomed live through a large PA or would it be susceptible to feedback loop screeching or similar weirdness? Here's hoping it's suitable cos it's at the top end of my budget.
really not sure about that - but Hollyland have a great track record with interference
Hello Mark, been trying out my new Lark M1 and loving it. However, I cant figure out how to adjust the volume of the individual wireless mics either on the units or later in post. Any adjustment affects the volume of both mics. Do you know if the audio from each of the mics are blended into one channel? Theres something in the user manual about a 'Camera Stereo Mode', but I can't seem to figure how to enable it.
Yes - you are recording in mono mode. So switch it to stereo to get the mic on different channels. Hold down the M button on the side of the receiver (the one attached to your camera) until both lights turn blue. The the transmitter mics will record to separate tracks.
I love your channel. I was literally looking at this microphone and here you are. I also watched the zve10 review of yours a few weeks back and got it lol
haha - nice!!
Im having an issue where I am only getting audio from one side of the computer when I am editing.. do you know why it would do that? its basically only on right side...
It sounds like you had both transmitters going - put everything back in the case, only take out one transmitter and the receiver and close the case,. Then the mic should automatically go into Mono mode. The receiver on the camera should have a green light and the transmitter on your shirt should have a blue light. If that is all working, go into your camera's audio and switch your external audio input to mono.
Eglinton is the worst! Feels like it's been under construction longer than I've been on this planet! lol
It probably has unless you're more than 100
Does it work independently without the receiver ?
No - it has to be connected to a camera or a phone
You are so funny 🤣 great video. I just bought this. Thanks for the info
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you sir! Just ordered some!
I hear what you say, it's a great option, BUT if you know how to keep your voice just as it is plus edit out background sounds EVEN BETTER. Do you have a video on how to do that? I would love to erase fan and crazy birds sounds :)
Do you use Final Cut?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis until now filmora, do I have to change?
It does a good job but I wonder how it would sound if you tried bringing back some of those dropped frequencies in post
good question - maybe on a non-lazy day I will do that
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis get down to only 1 hour of sleep like me and get busy!!!
It's awesome 👌
Just ordered a set through your affiliate link. Appreciate all the good reviews.
Thanks for thinking of me!!
the dji is 1000 times better
It's also 3x the pice
I didn't know Canada had that many buildings. Good job! (my attempt at humor)
There's a few - but they're just full of maple syrup and hockey pucks
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis oh yeah you have the trees you can milk for the pancake gravy!
like you video
the noise cancelling sounds a bit like your speaking into a corner of the room
I dont like it the sound with out is much better
yes agree
Hello from China, really enjoy your channel, I’ve switched from a7r2 to zve10 for both photo and video. So far so good, even the a7 is full frame，zve10 has better focusing system and much better video ability. You help me a lot. I am also using the m1 which called Moma lark m1 in China, same company different brand. Last thing, I’m going to buy a sigma 56 f1.4 for photography, I’ve got 30 1.4, do you think the 56 has better image quality than 30?
Thanks for the info about Moma - I didn’t know that!! the sigma 56 is the best portrait lens you can get. but it’s a lot tighter than the 30. people use the 56 for shooting picture of people (usually head and shoulders) or if they want a closeup from pretty far away like in street photography or product photography. It’s one of the best lenses you can buy. the 30 is fantastic too, but it’s a more regular focal length equivalent to what you eye naturally sees
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks for your very quick reply🫡，I may reconsider about the 56, enjoy your apple juice and the way u say bye bye 😂😂cheers 🥃🥃
Luckily, he is not singing to test the sound quality 😝
I have the voice of an angel. 😇
Contemplating getting this but need to know if any good for a busy gym?!
Yes - it will work. But no need for the nose cancelling. Because it'll be on your shirt, the regular mode will be fine in that environment.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks for the reply, I appreciate it
GREAT REVIEW 👍🏾
great freaking intro wow. Subbed
Much appreciated!
I wish it would have lav mic input ☹️
me too
you are one of the most funny and great content creator man.. Really enjoy watching them
thanks - I really appreciate that!!
Best reviewer i have ever seen, fan from India❤️
thanks!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis bro your insta id plz
Thanks for your honest review.
Any time!
Which audio level u use Mark?
three on the ZV-E10 - standard settings on the Hollyland
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ah i see! Thanks for the reply 🙌🏻
Hollyland LarK 150 or M1?????
I’m using them both, but if I could only have one - the Lark 150
The larK 150 the audio quality much better?
what benefits would you buy lark 150 and what benefits would you buy lark m1?
I'm deciding to buy today
Help me
With it on, it sounds more like a landline telephone from the 1970s. I guess you could fix it in post, but me being a sound guy first and a video guy second, it was noticeable. In some cases like the highway I would leave it off ( I guess I am weird but don't tell anyone). I did buy one for $115 on Prime Day ( Mark you evil &&@$^ you got me spending money again) for that amount it's worth a spin. Thanks
I think it’s a nice option to have - but I can’t really see myself using it unless in an extreme situation
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis kicking myself in the ass for having preorderd the DJI mic. not that its bad, its just expensive.
Hey Mark good morning. You seem to always respond and be very helpful ive come to absolutely love and enjoy your channel, i recently told u i bought a zv-e10 and a crane m2s i also purchased the lark max kit im just a dumb oilfield boat capt and diver, ive wanted to start this for years but very intimidating. I dont know how to set my wireless mic set to my camera or what i should do. Do you have a video on zv-e10 and wireless mic connection or how to for a beginner? Thank you as always for any info and responding.
Hello Mark great video, have questions.
Would this work to Feelworld F5 Pro with Canon sl2?
Or should i put this on Canon Sl2?
I would use it straight to the camera
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you 😊
Much better without it on, too much phasing of your voice and other strange artefacts.
Agree
