Not sure why you don't like Lark M2 noise reduction; it still sounds great and gets rid of most of the external noise. What's the issue?

@kneepayne 4 ай бұрын

Be careful, the DJI fanboys might come after you! I had pre-ordered the DM2 and then canceled when I heard comparisons to the Rode Pro and thought it didn't sound as good. Call me crazy, but first and foremost a mic should be judged on sound quality and not all the ancillary features. On some other reviewer videos I had mentioned that I canceled the order and was going to stay with the Rode Pro and some people got all up in arms over that "It's 32 bit, sound quality doesn't matter when you can just eq it later and make it sound good and then you get all the features!" or.... and hear me out.... maybe I will just stay with a mic that I prefer the sound quality if because that is the #1 feature I care about. It's like some people just don't like how I chose to spend (or not spend!) my money. Never tried Hollyland, but I bought the Lark Max as a gift for my brother and he loved it. He might even like the M2 even more.

@PhillipSkraba 4 ай бұрын

The Hollyland sounds fantastic, I think even DJI has to admit to that. The Rode Pro sounds incredible, used it a couple of times and it's superb. I'm not too bothered about the fan boys, I'm mean I'm a DJI drone fan boy but I'll tell them if they F up somewhere, like they did with the DJI Mic 2. They developed features before audio, which I think is a mistake. The whole point of a mic system is audio. 32-bit float is a cool safety net, but not one I actually ever use, though it could be beneficial in some use case scenarios.

@kneepayne 4 ай бұрын

@@PhillipSkraba "They developed features before audio, which I think is a mistake" this is the best summary of the DM2. I love DJI in general. Had a few of their drones and gimbals, and even the first DJI mic, and was really pleased.

@kneepayne 3 ай бұрын

@@PhillipSkraba following up here. It turns out the sound quality issue was because by default there is a lo-cut filter enabled. I watched some other reviewers who initially butchered the DM2 in reviews retract their statements when testing it again with the filter turned off and it sounded much better. With that said, DJI needs to make matte covers for the mics. There is no good functional reason why a lav mic should be that distracting. I had the same issue with Rode but did find some matte covers which made a big difference in the visual aesthetics.

Excellent review mate! But let me tell you my story with Lark M2 & how it saved my life today Lol. I was in an important call today and suddenly my Bose NC 700's mic gave up after 3 good long years of use. One of the attendees messaged me that I was sounding like I was talking from the depths of well. I took a pause from the meeting and immediately jumped for Lark M2. and let me tell you what a great decision it was. After the call the same person called me and said what Magic did you do as you were sounding like if you were using a studio mic. SO my friend! This is how good this M2 mic is. P.S I am still holding on to my DJI Mic 2 and haven't opened it yet as don't get time and thinking of returning it but will wait for DJI Lab Mice to arrive. Heard they sound great with DJI's own labs.

@PhillipSkraba 4 ай бұрын

The Hollyland Lark M2 is an excellent choice if you don't really need all the bells and whistles DJI is offering in the Mic 2, and personally I think just the DJI Mic 2 for $99 is worth it for bluetooth audio, for the rest of it I'd pick up the Lark M2 or the Rode Wireless Pro if you really want 32-bit float and a pro system. I picked up the DJI Lav too, didn't really have an option as it doesn't work with a load of lavs from other companies.

Good video. I have the Lark M2 and it's great for use with a camera, mobile phone, and even with my MacBook Pro. It's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison with the DJI Mic 2.

You can only do that with the Lark M2 when recording to camera via the camera receiver.

Make sure ENC is off and switch the receiver to mono. Turn your in-camera gain down to its lowest setting and turn the receiver up. Also, a big benefit of the M2, because it's magnetic, is the ability to place it center of your chest. That's where lavs sound the best so try that too.

My issue with these products is they are rechargeable batteries wrapped with audio electronics, so they have a shelf life. The Lark M2 is small but this means the battery could last even less.

Well, I don't think size makes much of a difference when it comes to quality of battery, so I'm not worried about that. My Hollyland Lark 150 or whatever the hell it's called is dead, so that does make me fear if they've put better batteries into the Lark M2. Right now it's a superb system, and IF they make the Lark M3 with bluetooth, and a 3.5mm jack, add 32-bit float, it will dominate. The sound is great.

I'm surprised at just how bad the DJI NR is, I don't like using it anyway, but Hollyland has much better NR, and Saramonic has great NR too. Maybe DJI needs some more time and maybe when the Mic 3 comes out the audio will be much better as I don't know if they can fix all this in an update or two. Thanks!
