Happy New Year!

For the first post of 2026, we’ll go with a video about a truly versatile tool: The HollyLand  Lark Max 2 mic system.

Sure you get a lot of accessories in the kit, but I was brought to this system for 1 main feature: The ability to monitor the audio recording in REAL TIME!

There are work arounds whether you are using a wired headset into a mirrorless camera, but hearing your audio with a phone, video camera like an Osmo Pocket 3, or any camera as it happens is not only a time saver, but a critical part of your content capture.

These mics have 32 Bit Float, internal recording capabilities, time code generation, ability to add additional lav mics.

That is another feature I was happy to discover reviewing this set-up: I could add a Sanken COS-11D high end mic, plugging into the mic via an included adaptor. To be fair, the included lav mics in the set are excellent, although when I am shooting a vid with my pro cameras, I’ll bring in the Sanken.

Here is what is in the 2 mic kit:

It can all be held in the included pouch.

More vids coming!
