LARK A1

Hollyland Lark A1 & Lark M2s have receivers that plug into the iPhone and record in stereo so you can adjust the audio separately. The mic/transmitters are small. The disadvantage of the A1 is that you put a magnet behind the shirt or blouse and put the mic on it on the outside of the garment. Two problems: that might not be practicable with some clothes, and somebody's going to pull the mic off and lose the magnet in their clothes. The M2s has the mic on a clip. As I recall, the A1 is about US $40, and the M2s is about $100, depending on which set you get.

Hey so i've done a LOT of playing around with microphones on a iPhone 13 for a different project. In addition to a Galaxy S23. The microphones I used were cheaper but still reasonable quality USB desk mount microphones. They DO NOT play well with mobile devices. My theory is that the USB controller chip in the microphone doesn't negotiate well with mobile devices. iPads while considered a mobile device are treated differently by Apple in terms of still allowing them to do multi media production that's closer to a laptop. My advice go with a cheap wireless microphone. It will significantly reduce setup and production problems. This means you can return really all the other stuff. Good options: Hollyland Lark A1 (2x mic, 1x receiver, 1x charging case) should be about $29 on Amazon US store. Neewer KM23 (2x mic, 1x receiver) should be about $23 on Amazon US store.

Take a look at the Hollyland Lark A1, or the max 2 (which I currently have and honestly it’s amazing and simple to use)

I would go to a mic company for mics and a camera company for cameras iykwim? I’ve had great experiences with Hollyland so far and their technology really impressed me, and I haven’t tried the mic air yet so I can’t say. But if I had to pick, I’d go w a dedicated mic with dedicated support

I use Hollyland Lark A1, I’ve got the combo with 2 mics. Work amazingly and the price is low for the quality. It even splits the audio from each mic so I can have more control when editing

I picked up the Lark A1 currently $60 on Amazon. Things awesome. Pairs with zero effort. Two mics, two reviewers. I just listened to videos I did without it which were like 90 and compared to now and it’s night and day. Voice is crisp, isolated.
