Hollyland Lark M1 Wireless Microphone System Review

Setup & Usage

Getting the Lark M1 setup and ready for use is extremely easy. All you have to do is take the receiver and microphones out of the charging case. Once you do that they will instantly pair. From there connect the receiver to your camera or other device using the supplied cables. Here is what the Lark M1 looks like mounted to my Sony A6300. As you can see I have it mounted in the cold-shoe in the cage that I use and then simply connected to the microphone port.

Then just attach the microphones to yourself and your subjects and you are good to go. I did find that these microphone work best on collared shirts, button ups, or zip-ups. When you attach them to a normal t-shirt you are going to want to make sure you have them sort of horizontal as opposed to vertical. When they are vertical and attached to a t-shirt then tend to sort of flip over.
