Thank you, great review. Have mine ordered will be nice to get rid of the big metal cage and not need the mic adapter any longer. I definitely need the external mic with dead cat for my fishing channel it's always windy.

Thanks for the review. Wish you had compared the light to the Lume Cube.

Very good Mate, thanks.

Thank you very much for yr review. ♥️♥️.

Thanks for your review, it was really helpful. I too was a little bit disappointed by the sound of the shotgun mic on the media mod. Would definitely recommend plugging in an external mic where possible. Thanks again for your review.

Thank you for this unboxing review! It was very helpful. I am still considering if I should get the media mod or not...

nice review brother. keeping this up for gopro 8 soon!

such an amazing camera

Very nice review

I really need to get both of these for my GoPro

Thanks for sharing this we really had no idea how this worked so thank you for teaching us. Stay safe Love and Light Sarah and Glenn

1:16 Honestly, I was not expecting you to say that!! Great video though, thanks for sharing!

Great review. I’d like to see you do an audio test in a medium to strong wind with the Hero 8. A rode micro attached to the audio adaptor for my Hero 7 results in repeating loud clicking interference. I think it’s the adaptor doing it. No issue in low to no wind.

Is it me or does the regular mic audio sounds fine? Btw, I really like your reviews! Keep up the great work!

now this is how you do a review haha. i tried to review my media mod and still learning from your reviews!

Thanks for the video, I have a Hero 8 as my first GoPro that I used whenever I ride my motorcycle. Im definitely going to buy the media mod. The one thing that I noticed about my GoPro is that it's horrible at low-light, even with help of my motorcycles headlights, and that it does not recharge while taking videos.

Good and crisp 👌

That audio is extremely disappointing coming out of the media mod. I was expecting better, especially for $80! I guess it would be best just to use it as a frame and attach a better mic. At least that horrible dongle is gone!

Someone opened the media mod. It has unused mounting holes from what looks like a previous design. The microphones inside are instead two identical mono microphones of extremely cheap build. Looks like they cheaped out on us to save a few bucks.

Yeah. Now that everyone that’s going to buy the dongle, has. They’ve milked it for all it’s worth. Mow let’s move on the the other thing they have to buy to make it work.

The light was actually more impressive than the media mod. The media mod however could be just a good accessory to have just to be able to use any external microphone. Overall, great review video !

love ur videos

thank you for the heads up

I'm not sure if you were aware, but GoPro partnered with litra for the technology behind the light mod. The diffusion plastic covering the LEDs is the same as the litra torch, it also says powered by litra on the bottom of the light

The Hero 7 and audio adapter has broken audio sync when powering from usb-c while recording with Hypersmooth on. Does this adapter also have the same issues?

We were going to get one of these media mods but the difference definitely isn’t worth it for the 149 dollerydoos they are asking for it in straya very disappointing. Best review video of it so far though well done.

I am happy with my hero black 7 still using all the old accessoires no need to buy again all the accessoiries..all they must do was to release a hypersmooth upgrade.

Great video , quick question....both mics are not always on? You have manly switch between the front and back Mic?

today there was a shot, could not be missed, by the time I now set up, andtear down I might as well just use a real point-n-shoot.

Ugh! Disappointed about how terrible those mics sound. I was so hopeful! Guess I’m keeping the Ulanzi case & Videomicro combinaive been using.

Hello! Does the media port support running the camera of a power bank? Thank you!

I shoot video for a living and my main camera is a Panasonic GH5. I also travel a lot with my camera gear and have very limited space in my carry-on camera bag. So, I will be using the GoPro 8 as a backup or secondary camera. So for me, the most important feature on the media mod is the HDMI out for use with an external monitor such as my SmallHD or Ninja V. I always record audio using a separate audio recorder with a shotgun mic attached to it so the mic input on the media mod isn't as important unless I use the GoPro 8 as a secondary camera. Then I'll have another shotgun mic mounted on the GoPro media mod and use it's mic input.

Just got the media mod for my channel- the only thing im after is that 3.5 jack, at least it is all one nice package you know will work.

Do you have any idea for having this module over some rain? How waterproof is it when it is raining? Because when motovloging here, sometimes we have to deal with heavy rain. I'll appreciate any hints, thanks.

Please review the live monitoring ability of the media mod. The hdmi out port is important for a lot of users mainly looking for quality of live monitoring output, latency time, and simultaneous monitoring/ recording ability.

Any idea how the Polar Pro ND filters will work with this? I'm guessing they won't? I'll be using my Smallrig setup instead of this. Much more flexible since I can use a normal ND filter and whatever light and microphone I want.

Nice walk through. Thanks. It would have been nice for you to test out the HDMI out. That looks like a mini HDMI to HDMI, yes ?

Well done. I have the mod as well. It’s a tad disappointing as I don’t hear a huge difference in sound/audio quality from the standard camera mic. However, I’m hoping it’s better in busy settings when used.

Hey, i know you've moved onto the newer cameras, but I have a question about the Hero 8 that I was hoping you could answer. Did you ever find an ND Filter kit that works with the Hero 8 Media Mod? I have 2 cameras and one of them I need to use with the Media Mod installed. I want to add a swappable ND Filter kit (as opposed to a tint sticker on the lens) and have had no luck tracking down such a Kit.

Did you do any post audio cleanup? I'm getting a ton of white noise with and without the media mod.

very nice

That thing sucks..Sounds louder but just as muffled/bad as the built in garbage.. Wish GP would license the mic and lense from Sony.. :P

Do you have any issue with the camera screen freezing. My camera still shows a live view of what’s going on but the touch screen or button do not work and it won’t power off. Any thoughts?

How’s the battery life with the media mod? I was planning on buying the media instead of an adaptor for my motorcycle vlog. And since I don’t have a method of charging on I’m just wondering how long it last with the media mod last.

Can u use that for hero 5? It will work?

Is this the only way to add hdmi? I would like to use this as an extra cam for live streaming. Wifi too much lag for what I'm doing

So disappointed with the shotgun mic on the media mod considering that it’s a whopping $80 accessory. I guess it’s not worth it. Good job on the review though, thank you.

Doc Rio so without the media mod, it’s better with raw audio on the GoPro?

Is it using the external microphone if you use quick capture? So start filming without turning it on first? I can’t find the answer anywhere 🤷‍♂️

I use the new gopro hero 8 black, it solved a problem with the media and light mods( I can now record excellent footage during the night with my motorcycle). I also have a sena so I can listen to the GPS instructions. Plus I use my sat nav incase of my phone dies. I also use powerbanks to keep everything charged( gopro, phone, sat nav and sena).

What line in setting should you use for a Lavalier micro?

Hi. Which microphones are on for the 'stereo' mode?

Now I'm interested in buying the hero 8 black

Good video

Are there any third-party tripod mounts that are compatible with Media Mod? I already have a tripod but I'm concerned most of the third-party options aren't compatible with the hero 8 media mod

Can somebody tell me if the shotgun mic cuts off when you plug a 3.5mm microphone in? I would like to use both at the same time. The shotgun mic for surrounding audio and the 3.5mm for in helmet audio, but don't know if it's possible. Thanks!

Thoughts on a firmware update for an additional Stereo setting where you could set the 3.5mm input to one channel and one of the built in mics to the other?

is the go pro hero door easy to snap on and off? I noticed you said you had to remove the door to use the mod. Thanks!

Yeah i'm sticking with my 7 thanks.

I pair mine with the Rode Wireless Go set up and its pretty great. What I can't figure out is if I can use my Media Mod + GoPro as a webcam...I cant seem to get the HDMI out to work

@CHEFPKR

@@TravelerTravis I keep my rode mic at Low for all purposes so I can adjust it in post. I tend to peak sometimes so I keep it there. I also use the "Powered Mic" option on the Gopro with media mod. It's the only one I have found to work well with it. Basically anything with a battery on the mic should get that option. There is a "Powered Mic+" option on the gopro that's adds 20db, but it's easier to adjust the gain on the mic. It's pretty Freaking awesome so far. However, lighting is my key issue. Hoping to fix that soon. I have a video coming out on Tuesday that utilizes the entire set up if you want to see how it is

Thank you .

What I need to know where do you buy these things you are talking about

I am new to GoPro just bought my first Hero 8. Your channel has a lot of i information. I $ubscribed last week. Seems like the price of the camera is only the beginning LOL. I am still having some issues using the functions. One that may be very simple is the view screen keeps going off, so I am not sure if it is still videoing. I know it has to be on a time setting but I still have to find it. Stay well, Joe Z

Awesome

I like the set up, and ability to add other options. But what about all the times it freezes with a red light, or just won’t do anything, causing you to pull the battery out and reset it. It’s already a hassle. It would be maddening, with all that on it.

Does it comes with a gopro or just the media mode case

Great review despite my negative comments about the media mod

What about the battery? Does it last longer ?

I’ve been doing some research and I’ve chosen the new GoPro Hero 8 SmallRig cage with the old GoPro 3.5mm adapter clamped on to the side. The SmallRig cage gives you a 52mm filter thread in front of the lens to add filters, like ND filters. I don’t know how I would use ND filters on this new GoPro media mod case. I need NDs for sure. I could post my setup once it’s ready.

Is the media mod only useable on Hero 8 or compatible with the Hero 7?

The light did surprisingly good job compared to it's size

That's very good review , Thank you

Can you use this for the Hero 7 Silver?

Yo quiero saber si al instalarle todos esos accesorios. Va aser resistente al agua o ya no podra entrar al agua????

What Mic are using for this video?

Nice video.

Well the shotgun mic isnt a massive improvement.... Over tge gopro mivs... Maybe just slight... But would u say that a gopro is good for travel vlogging overall? Love the hojest reviews btw

Can you attach gopro media mode to gopro 7?

how long does the light last for? with 1 charge

What about using a non-powered microphone with wireless enabled on the camera (ie camera connected to the Smart Remote)? Will there be interference to the recorded audio (like there is with the Hero5/6/7)? Or have they finally fixed this? This would be the BIG news, if they have fixed this.

hello i recently purchased media mod for my hero 8 black i use only one time next day i on the camera media mod not detecting audio input n/a i install new firmware manually 2.50 but still not detecting plz help me i live in pakistan and my cousin in Canada he buy for me and sent me i don't have any options to return it reply plzz waiting....

You have to turn the camera on first using the power button, then start recording. You cannot use the record button directly to start recording if you want to use an external mic. This issue is also present if you use the mic adapter. Must turn camera on first before recording.

Is this product adjustable in hero 7..???

Will the go pro still be waterproof with that case on ??

I just ordered the GoPro media mod dose it come with the GoPro or is it just a case

For the light mod, if you double press the button, it goes into super bright mode, but only for like 30 seconds or something.

I've also noticed that when using mac computer to download photos, the usb-c seems to only charge, not upload photos, so I must open door, remove gopro and then connect usb-c to that so I can then download photos to the mac

The media mod makes you sound like you have a cold and are recording in a room without sound dampening (a bit of echo). Really not worth $80 unless you plan on getting the light and/or screen. The older microphone adapter for external mics is much less expensive and there are really good cases (like Ulanzi) that don't add too much bulk.

Can I mount it with the Lume Cube?
