I am a professional wedding photographer that does over 30 weddings per year and I have started to do the Behind the Scene videos of my weddings to show my clients the process of shooting a wedding. I have been looking for a simple yet professional quality solution and after I tested the LARK MAX system I can say I am at home. Simple of use, great quality audio and a design that it is just gorgeous I am in love with my system. Let me go in a bit more detail about the system.
The Hollyland LARK MAX Duo is an impressive wireless audio system that offers high-quality sound transmission for content creators, filmmakers, and musicians alike. With its compact size and advanced features, it has gained a reputation for being a reliable and versatile tool in the industry. Because teh amazing sound quality and simply of use it is being chosen by professional over brands that are in a higher price point.
One of the standout features of the LARK MAX Duo is its dual-channel wireless transmission capability. For my personal use of doing interviews and behind the scene with not just me as a talking head the system delivers outstanding practicality because it is so easy to use, just turn it on, pressREC and start talking getting clear audio to my camera every time. The LARK MAX allows you to simultaneously transmit audio to two different receivers, making it perfect for interviews, multi-camera setups, or any situation where you need to capture audio from multiple sources. This feature eliminates the need for additional audio cables and ensures a seamless recording experience.
But the feature that I Personally use in most cases, (for example doing a BTS at a big wedding) it is the ability to record directly to the transmitter, yes no need to connect the audio to my camera, most of the time I am in the GOPRO hero 12 or in the INSTAX360, I record everything internally in the transmitter and them in post I Sync the audio witch it is very simple and easy to do.
The LARK MAX Duo operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range, which provides a stable and interference-free connection. To be honest I have not had any issues with the signal interfering by mics but it could use a DIGITAL signal instead to avoid possible interference when in places with lots of other 2.4GHz equipment but so far no issues at all. Also the system use a signal amplifier.
The system boasts a transmission range of up a incredible and crazy 800 feet in direct line of sight and almost 200 feet with obstructions like walls. This thing makes magic going through walls at venues, but again most of the time I am recording directly to the transmitter.
Just to bring you an idea of the power of this system I did a wedding at a venue in Orlando Florida, the Science Museum, an amazing venue but very challenging with the getting ready rooms in a floor and the ceremony in another floor. I placed the receiver in my video guy camera on a gimbal on floor 2 and I got to the main floor with my bride to do the Formal Bridal Portraits and my audio was being recorded on my video camera on the 2nd floor. I am a not an audio professional but this to me is amazing. Please take in consideration that the building structure is all glass, that may help the long transmission distance of the equipment.
I have tested the system in 5 big weddings so far, also in New York City where I tried to make a full video review that was not possible because time limitations for that wedding, in every occasion we clip the recorder to the GROOM or the PRIST and the receiver in top of the gimbal and we get supper clean audio every time. Compared to my old very expensive system it is a very practical system to use. Just the fact that we can record on the transmitter and also to the camera it is a life saver because we end the day with 2 copies of the recorded audios.
I have no idea how long can it record internally, I belief it is about 14 hours, this is huge, just to illustrate we have done 2 weddings back to back and we still have space on teh recorder to keep putting more audio on them. When you have back to back wedding time it is very short to recharge batteries and download media, so not having to deal with the stress of running short on space for audio is a real plus.
Same goes for the battery life of this thing, they say it is 22 hours of battery life, guys we used this in 2 weddings and did not charged them and still have juice to record a third smaller wedding. Put it this way, not having to charge the system so ofter give you the freedom to keep creating whit very little restrictions on the battery time.
Another notable feature of the LARK MAX Duo is its real-time monitoring capability. It comes with a compact receiver that has a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, allowing you to monitor the audio in real-time. This feature is essential for ensuring that the sound is clean and free from any unwanted noise or distortion. Guys this to me, remember I am not a PRO Audio guy, it is just incredible, I can see my levels very clear and the menu and knobs are easy to use and very easy to understand.
Almost forgot to mention here, the feature that I love the most is the fact that it offers NOISE canceling. If you ever tried to record audio on a loud place full of noise and you need clean audio of a person you will know how stressful it can be. Just hit the NOISE cancelling option on the transmitter and you get a crazy result in clean audio whit destroying your subject vocal audio track. By the way you can record in MONO, Stereo or as a safety track, giving you the chance to record a lower DB audio track for this moments hen signal peak and clip your audio, yes like those DJ’s at a wedding that love to go really over their lives to announce the entrance of the couple, yes those moments.
Setting up the LARK MAX Duo is a breeze. The transmitter and receiver are paired automatically, saving you time and effort. The OLED display on both units provides clear and easy-to-read information about the battery status, signal strength, and audio levels. The units are also equipped with rechargeable batteries, ensuring long-lasting performance.
The system sound quality, the LARK MAX Duo delivers excellent results, they even sound better Tham other more expensive comparable mic systems. It supports a wide frequency response range and provides a clean and transparent audio signal. I am not a Pro audio guy so the little and detailed information go the company website to check those, all I can say about the audio quality it is that for those same day delivery for some of our weddings we do not even though the audio, remember, short highlight video must be done and exported for right before the couple is about to exit the venue, right before the exit. So having clean good audio it is a plus for us in this situations.
The build quality of the LARK MAX Duo is impressive. The transmitter and receiver units are made from durable materials that can withstand the abuse of professional use. The fact that the system it is inclusive in one case makes it really good to protect it, from bag to bag to a table top to hang from my camera strap with the magnets they will last a long time for what we can see. The compact design makes it easy to carry and store, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go content creators.
My Overall Experience with teh system is a great one, the Hollyland LARK MAX Duo is a top-notch wireless audio system that offers exceptional performance and versatility. Its dual-channel transmission capability, real-time monitoring, and reliable signal range make it a valuable tool for anyone in need of high-quality wireless audio. Whether you're a filmmaker, blogger, or musician, the LARK MAX Duo is definitely worth considering for your audio recording needs.
Hope this review of the system helps you int he process of deciding to purchase or not, to us, wedding photographers and videographers the unit is our favorite one, now I will be getting a second unit jut for me so I do not have to share it with my Video guys because they do not want to use our old system any more after using the Holland LARK Max.

For my personal use of doing interviews and behind the scene with not just me as a talking head the system delivers outstanding practicality because it is so easy to use, just turn it on, pressREC and start talking getting clear audio to my camera every time. The LARK MAX allows you to simultaneously transmit audio to two different receivers, making it perfect for interviews, multi-camera setups, or any situation where you need to capture audio from multiple sources. This feature eliminates the need for additional audio cables and ensures a seamless recording experience.
But the feature that I Personally use in most cases, (for example doing a BTS at a big wedding) it is the ability to record directly to the transmitter, yes no need to connect the audio to my camera, most of the time I am in the GOPRO hero 12 or in the INSTAX360, I record everything internally in the transmitter and them in post I Sync the audio witch it is very simple and easy to do.
The LARK MAX Duo operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range, which provides a stable and interference-free connection. To be honest I have not had any issues with the signal interfering by mics but it could use a DIGITAL signal instead to avoid possible interference when in places with lots of other 2.4GHz equipment but so far no issues at all. Also the system use a signal amplifier.
The system boasts a transmission range of up a incredible and crazy 800 feet in direct line of sight and almost 200 feet with obstructions like walls. This thing makes magic going through walls at venues, but again most of the time I am recording directly to the transmitter.
Just to bring you an idea of the power of this system I did a wedding at a venue in Orlando Florida, the Science Museum, an amazing venue but very challenging with the getting ready rooms in a floor and the ceremony in another floor. I placed the receiver in my video guy camera on a gimbal on floor 2 and I got to the main floor with my bride to do the Formal Bridal Portraits and my audio was being recorded on my video camera on the 2nd floor. I am a not an audio professional but this to me is amazing. Please take in consideration that the building structure is all glass, that may help the long transmission distance of the equipment.
I have tested the system in 5 big weddings so far, also in New York City where I tried to make a full video review that was not possible because time limitations for that wedding, in every occasion we clip the recorder to the GROOM or the PRIST and the receiver in top of the gimbal and we get supper clean audio every time. Compared to my old very expensive system it is a very practical system to use. Just the fact that we can record on the transmitter and also to the camera it is a life saver because we end the day with 2 copies of the recorded audios.
I have no idea how long can it record internally, I belief it is about 14 hours, this is huge, just to illustrate we have done 2 weddings back to back and we still have space on teh recorder to keep putting more audio on them. When you have back to back wedding time it is very short to recharge batteries and download media, so not having to deal with the stress of running short on space for audio is a real plus.
Same goes for the battery life of this thing, they say it is 22 hours of battery life, guys we used this in 2 weddings and did not charged them and still have juice to record a third smaller wedding. Put it this way, not having to charge the system so ofter give you the freedom to keep creating whit very little restrictions on the battery time.
Another notable feature of the LARK MAX Duo is its real-time monitoring capability. It comes with a compact receiver that has a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, allowing you to monitor the audio in real-time. This feature is essential for ensuring that the sound is clean and free from any unwanted noise or distortion. Guys this to me, remember I am not a PRO Audio guy, it is just incredible, I can see my levels very clear and the menu and knobs are easy to use and very easy to understand.
Almost forgot to mention here, the feature that I love the most is the fact that it offers NOISE canceling. If you ever tried to record audio on a loud place full of noise and you need clean audio of a person you will know how stressful it can be. Just hit the NOISE cancelling option on the transmitter and you get a crazy result in clean audio whit destroying your subject vocal audio track. By the way you can record in MONO, Stereo or as a safety track, giving you the chance to record a lower DB audio track for this moments hen signal peak and clip your audio, yes like those DJ’s at a wedding that love to go really over their lives to announce the entrance of the couple, yes those moments.
Setting up the LARK MAX Duo is a breeze. The transmitter and receiver are paired automatically, saving you time and effort. The OLED display on both units provides clear and easy-to-read information about the battery status, signal strength, and audio levels. The units are also equipped with rechargeable batteries, ensuring long-lasting performance.
The system sound quality, the LARK MAX Duo delivers excellent results, they even sound better Tham other more expensive comparable mic systems. It supports a wide frequency response range and provides a clean and transparent audio signal. I am not a Pro audio guy so the little and detailed information go the company website to check those, all I can say about the audio quality it is that for those same day delivery for some of our weddings we do not even though the audio, remember, short highlight video must be done and exported for right before the couple is about to exit the venue, right before the exit. So having clean good audio it is a plus for us in this situations.
The build quality of the LARK MAX Duo is impressive. The transmitter and receiver units are made from durable materials that can withstand the abuse of professional use. The fact that the system it is inclusive in one case makes it really good to protect it, from bag to bag to a table top to hang from my camera strap with the magnets they will last a long time for what we can see. The compact design makes it easy to carry and store, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go content creators.
My Overall Experience with teh system is a great one, the Hollyland LARK MAX Duo is a top-notch wireless audio system that offers exceptional performance and versatility. Its dual-channel transmission capability, real-time monitoring, and reliable signal range make it a valuable tool for anyone in need of high-quality wireless audio. Whether you're a filmmaker, blogger, or musician, the LARK MAX Duo is definitely worth considering for your audio recording needs.
Hope this review of the system helps you int he process of deciding to purchase or not, to us, wedding photographers and videographers the unit is our favorite one, now I will be getting a second unit jut for me so I do not have to share it with my Video guys because they do not want to use our old system any more after using the Holland LARK Max.
Tl;dr version: Buy the Lark Max kit it’s the one you want.
At first there there 3 choices, Hollyland Mars lark 150, the Rode wireless Go 2 kit, and the DJI wireless mic kit. Each one of these had benefits and drawbacks. The Hollyland Mars had the best form factor and that charging case was a game changer, and it had incredible range, and the mics it came with were kinda stale sounding, but when paired with a different lab mic, it’s sound was the best. but it was a pain to upgrade for Mac users, and it had no internal storage which was a huge deal breaker for most indie workflows. Now it seems like everyone has a cheap alternative to wireless mic kits, so how do you know which one is for you? Well, what are you doing with it, what sound do you want? how about battery life? file management? when you consider all these things, there seems to be a big 3 that would distinguish itself. Rode wireless Go 2, DJI wireless mic kit, and Hollyland Mars
The Rode wireless Go 2 supposedly had the bet sound, and it had internal storage and that’s… kinda where the benefits ended because but it was much more expensive, it had no kit case, just a floppy bag you could carry the gadgets around in, that offered no protection of these sensitive components, then you had to buy lavs for it, and the internal storage was trash, lost my files several times, and all the settings were janky and had to be app controlled. Then there was the batch file collection, oh my God, and the amount of times the files on the internal storage would just get lost. And the amount of updates this kit needed. I felt bamboozled hearing anyone positively review them, this set was such garbage.
The DJI mic kit was like a great compromise between the two without a stupid app, could work with virtually any camera, though it did have these annoying slide on clamp components that are easy to lose and expensive to replace, it was self contained in. small case that also stored a few accessories and could keep he devices charged for a decent time, the DJI kit had decent in device controls, decent internal storage and file management, decent range, nothing to write home about- but the sound. It’s not bad, it’s just not stellar either, after hearing what sound could feel like on the Hollyland Lark kit, I was spoiled I guess. But I went with the DJI, they’re small, have their own charging cradle and when paired with decent lava, they produce a flat ok soundscape. They’re not special by any means but they’re do - but I was left wanting more.
Enter the Hollyland Mars Lark Max kit. This is the one. Internal storage, internal noise cancellation if you want it (and it works nicely), it’s like they heard all the users of the original Lark 150 kit said “Ok, we hear you, and we’re listening.” And came back with the Lark Max. The lav mics are also an improvement! Seriously this is better in every way. More features, functions, and the bells and whistles you want and need, nothing you don’t. the device kit comes in a carrying case that holds everything you need while still being compact enough to slide into your bag, or sling with it's wrist strap. Inside is the actual module, which is angular as opposed to DJI's roundness (think he iPhone square frame vs. the slippery rounded frame of earlier models). These mic components produce a rich crisp sound that reminds me of a higher quality mic. The snap on wind shields have such a positive response to snapping it in place. The form factor of each transmitter allows a great purchase on your device that when your hands are sweating in 100 degree plus weather you’ll be able to attach these to your talent. And the Range? My God, there are a few Youtube videos that cover the distances so I won’t re-cover the same ground, suffice it to say, it far exceeds your expectations as well. Hollyland has made is so simple to snap go record, pause, play, transmit, transfer receive, edit, work with, and deliver audio, I’ve already decided to go ahead and get rid of my other set.
So if you’ve been debating which set of wireless mic kit you need, you don’t have to, it’s already been done, and Hollyland Mars Lark Max is the clear winner. They’ve been used on indie film sets as well as YouTube channel vlog production, content creation, and have impressed some very respected audio engineers, and how do I know this? Because I’m one of the people that has used them for all the use cases and had audio engineers comment on the quality as well as then they’ve gone on to buy them. This is the kit you want. Hollyland Mars Lark Max, like many of the other affordable products they make, punch way above their weightless, and are worth far more than the price they’re charging. Get ‘em, use ‘em, and can’t want to see what you come up with.

I like to do noise cancellation in post processing Otherwise inbuilt noise cancellation is good as post processing.
I just don't like to burn noice cancellation in raw Audio. If i quickly have to post video with no time to post processing I use in built cancellation without any hesitation.
The wireless capacity has an impressive range of 820ft piece to camera with a charge of 22-hours it out guns my DSLR battery life.
Great job Hollyland amazing from such a small self-contained microphone, all complete with a charging box.
I must say this pair of little microphones gives outstanding value for money, and to add to the LARK MAX versatility you can plug in a lanyard for interviews and or head mic my online fitness vlogs and classes.
UPDATE!!!! I have now used Hollyland Lark Max as a pa for LIVE stage presentation via mixing box, it works extremely well voice crisp and clear. I'm now using it in my fitness studio, as seen in the picture plug a 3.5mm jack (supplied with kit) into a phono adaptor or XLR and it works straight away.
The Hollyland LARK MAX is very versatile and can be used for DJ, PA, vlogging, piece to camera etc.

Yo los uso para entrevistas, y va todo genial, es una marca pro.
Los materiales son de calidad, rugorizados para aguantar roces, caídas, en durabilidad pinta genial.
Después tecnicamente son una maravilla, los micros tienen muy buena sensiblidad e incluyen peluquilla!
El RX tiene LCD a color y se ven los niveles perfecto, con rueda para navegar por los diversos menús.
Los TX no pesan nada, pero puedes ponértelos en el pantalón y enchufarles los micros pequeños a la solapa, y estos mediante cable al TX. Se agarran con pinza, sin problemas.
La caja tiene para carga, como la de los auriculares inalámbricos.
Muy contento!
