David hit the nail on the head, this adjustment would make the media mod all the better. Another small detail, if you put a screen protector on the rear screen, and then slide the camera into media mod, the media mod causes the screen protector to bubble at corners/edges. Tight fit is superb, just wondering if a small bit of room could be accounted for for use with screen protector if desired. Again just a thought.

Gopro sadly passes the feet through the media mod in hope that it will help with overheating, the small vents under the feet are Gopro's only thought on how to cool this tiny camera down. Gopro should offer a larger version of there camera with all the media functions built in.

Not having the option to record both front & back mics on the Mediamod is absolutely ridiculous!

As a longtime gopro user, what I'd like to see is 1, a hdmi on the unit like on the 7. 2, higher data rates like 150 mbps. 3 a rear screen that actually fills the back without that rediculous border, and 4, a mic input onboard without getting ripped off for the media mod.

An appropriate length thumbscrew shipped with the Media Mod would ALSO be in order!

This is right on point. Recently I was trying to shoot out in the open ocean being thrown around trying to change out the battery. What a pain. Seems like an easy fix to put the feet on the outside.

100% agreed. I’ve been saying since the Hero 8 that this was a problem. They could make the mod a little taller with a vent so the air could still circulate for cooling. And dual channel mic would be great!

Thanks David..... The issue you're addressing is spot on and is equal to my #1 complaint. In addition, the following problems are I.M.O. a P.I.A. as well; 1) Doesn't even come close to eliminating wind noise. If used inside you might just as well use the GoPro's mic. 2) Thumb screw is too short. a) The end of the knob actually causes the GoPro to tilt up a little bit. b) Can't tighten it down enough. c) Can't use a knob wrench. As always, thank you for all your content. 👍

Howdy David. I never ran into that problem because I don't need an HDMI port. I never purchased the media mod. Instead I use the GoPro audio adapter, which is inserted into a slot on a Ulanzi G9-5 cage. The cage has built in feet brackets to attach to a tripod or other support. Then I plug in whichever mic I decide to use, which is usually a small Edutige omnidirectional mic or a Rode shotgun mic. I can open the side door of the cage to get to the battery and SD card without removing my GoPro 10 from the cage. I can also use any 52mm round filter lens or UV filter screwed into the threads on the cage. I mount this rig onto an older style DSLR camera handle with a small tripod attached to the bottom. Another added benefit is that the camera never overheats, because the metal frame absorbs and dissipates the excess heat. I usually shoot in 2.7k. It works for me.

I am new to GoPro stuff, so I just purchased and waiting for the Media mod and the Volta, after watching this and other video, I purchased a replacement base mount for the camera and plan on (when my stuff arrives) to take the new replacement base mount that goes on the camera and fill it in on the base of the media mod, then it will free up the camera to slide in and out as needed and the fingers will retract like the camera does. Seems simple enough and protects the fingers when not needed… will see when all the stuff arrives.

1000% agree.. when the camera is part of a rig it is a huge pain to have to dismantle the whole thing and then reset once you have fixed the battery etc also overheating in the tropics in the mod is a problem

I was excited for the media mod but honestly think the standard mic sounds better than the mod one. & having to add another external mic for better sound messes up the point of a go pro for my needs. It also causes it to overheat way faster 😒. I never use it anymore with the mod. Camera quality in good lighting is top notch though 👌

Dreampick has VRT, a Vertical Mounting System to switch a GoPro from landscape to portrait orientation. Why not have a similar type attachment from the side cold shoe mount on the Media Mod that has a 1/4 mount or GoPro like fingers. The new attachment could also include a replacement cold shoe. I would definitely go for something like that.

That sounds dreamy Roy! Would love a media mod that supports vertical mounting🙌

GoPro are supposed to be releasing many new products this year. Hopefully Media Mod 2 will be one of them. A head strap with a longer connector to mount the camera on would be useful so you could attach the GoPro contained within the Floaty. I have worked around this problem by attaching an extension piece between the head strap adapter and the GoPro feet, but it would be good if I didn't need this.

Media Mod is cool on a Motorcycle, as you get actual engine sounds and not just wind noise, and with the mic on rear, it even picks up what I say without needing to add a helmet mike. But the battery exchange is a real pain. Only good thing is that I can charge the camera through the Media Mod from the bikes boardnet.

Glad this video came out, unfortunately over a year and GoPro isn’t doing anything about it and never will. This is an example of some engineer so proud of his or her invention (flip down feet) that they designed the entire product line around it whether it make sense or not. I use the media mod for mounting in vehicle with a headrest mounting pole and it’s a complete PITA to get the aim correct and takes a few tries. Then after mounting you have to undue the whole stupid thing to change the battery, it’s like GoPro didn’t even test the media mod for a day or someone would’ve said this is stupid it’s such a glaring oversight. Luckily it looks like the 12 has a 1/4-20 hole so maybe I can get creative and use a stepped 1/4-20 type of thumb screw so once my angle is set all I’d need to do is unscrew the GoPro with mod and replace the battery but it’s still a dumb answer to such a simple issue.

with the media mods usb c passthrough, can you charge your gopro?

Absolutely agree. I like the idea of the 2 channels as well 👏🏻

I agree. Have the Volta attached does help though. Let’s hope it’s fix though in the future!

This exact same problem bugs me as well. However, the reason (apparently) you have to pop the goPro's OWN clips out, is because those are assistant heat dissipators when it is inside the media mod. I don't now if this is true, but there's alot said about it out there and I have noticed overheating is real when they are folded in.

Yes that would be awesome if Gopro would make this adjustment on the cage and also on the Mic. Thanks for doing a video on this.

Yes! I really love the media mod, but I have always struggled with these issues also.

Biggest gripe for sure! And the lack of mic control got me to get DJI's Mic, so far it's awesome for sound quality. Works great with GoPro too.

AND, PLEASE @gopro, please sell this revised Media Mod WITH a longer thumb screw so that we can torque it down well. The current 'long' screw version ends up tucking in underneath the edge of the Media Mod. No good unless you have a screwdriver to help you. You got this!! #gopro

Hi yes this is a big problem to change the battery. But I think the place where mounts installed added mics and processor which is heating a lot. So if this place will be closed it could make overheated problems.

You’re quite right David, it’s a bit tricky way of change battery. We wished it it be at the opposite side of the camera! ❤

Hey David, we have a few GoPro Media Mods and tearing down the mount every time to swap the battery and card was driving me nuts… so I designed and CNC machined a finger mount and a 1/4-20 mount that attaches to the Media Mod case. I will send you a few for testing if you’re interested.

I guarantee it's something to do with air flow holes on the bottom by the legs, however I agree 100% I actually built an adapter to hold my media mod so I can pull my gopro anytime from mod without having to fool with the feet, and your 100% right gopro should fix this and we not have to make our own adapters.

i love the videos david keep up the good work man

So true! Wow, GoPro screwed up with the media mod! 🧐 I believe media mod prior to the 9 did allow to record front AND back, I know there were some previous versions that did. 🤷🙄

Great idea! Hope they listen. And…if GP is listening: where is a Volta media creator case? By the time you put the Volta, the camera and media mod all together, there is no practical way to stow it after use with breaking it down

100% agree, wiykd be great improvement- would probably increase cost of medi mod though

Very aggravating to change a battery or SD card when using the media mod!!! Very simple solution!

If GoPro is reading this, please can we have a Karma Grip gimbal for the 11. Next month will be great. Thanks

A question....the mediamod has the 3.5mm jack for external mic, along with a USB-C socket on the back. Is it possible to use that USB-C socket for a power bank at the same time as using an external mic? Would it conflict as both items are essentially coming from the same USB-C socket in the mediamod. As I am guessing the added mic would use battery power. As we all know the batteries in the gopro are small. That eliminates the need to remove the gopro from the mediamod.

Hi Dave. You could use an Artman vlogging case with the gopro mic adapter ( that fits under the gopro within the case) The cost of both is about the same as the media mod on it's own. Battery access is easy with the Artman vlogging case (just flip open the door).

I couldn't push the camera back in to fold the feet and couldn't finish pulling it out cause the feet were through the hole. I finally got it pushed back in to fold the feet up but it is really annoying.

Hi David, In regards to placing feet to the bottom of the media mod , if the bottom floor of the cage remains solid then referring back to your video this would further increase overheating problems would it not ? Isn’t that the reason that the hole was created to allow the flaps to come down to let heat out and to allow airflow.

GoPro, both are great modifications. Will definitely buy new one if you incorporated them especially the R/L audio channels.

You make a good point. Another issues is that the audio with the media mod is worse that the audio from the GoPro directly.

the point is that go pro has its own orifices on the bottom for cooling and they are covered by folded fits. They should be got down (mounting position) for set a proper ventilation for go pro. So you couldn't do this if media mod have it's own fits (go pro fits will be folded inside media mod and cover the cooling orifices). So it will lead to overheating go pro.

I too 100% agree. But, I thought you were going to talk about the overheating of the GoPro while in the Media Mod. I have a the Hero 8

Excellent video and suggestion David! Hopefully GP sees this and solve this easy fix.

Dou you actually like the media mod mic? Seems most think the camera’s mics sound better. I find with the wind slayer it’s pretty good with my Hero 8

Like your ideas. Also don't like the software where you transfer files to your hard drive's computer. Half the time it doesn't work and I have to take the mem card out to get to the files. Not having front and back mikes is lousy, and the feet are terrible. GoSlow needs to fix these.

Wondering if you could assist? We’ve been using our GoPro 10 with a media mod and mostly the sound has been an improvement since adding the media mod, however all of a sudden the sound sounds muffled. We haven’t adjusted any settings at all. Any ideas?

There is a somewhat more simple solution. For like $14 you can buy a replacement for the Go Pro Feet that also includes threading for a regular tripod screw. Much faster to twist off and back on.

I thought they fixed this. Now to your “solution” doesn’t GoPro dissipate heat thru ports under the feet? If you cover them in the media mod please then the heating problem returns. Hmmmm. Maybe redesign the media mod to just lift off over the top? I don’t know. Anyway good food for thought. Thanks for making us (and hopefully GoPro) think.

Yes, you're right! Also I think this will provide some protection to the camera as well because if you're doing some aggressive activities and your setup decides to bumped into something really hard, that'd would break the camera feet, no cap.

I totally agree with you. I went on a 3500 miles road-trip with my GoPro chin mounted on my helmet with media mod. Had to park my bike and do the task every time my battery died. It was a hassle for me.

Here's what I would prefer: - Flip Down Feet (just like the HERO10), with a 1/4-20" Threading right beside it. This way, if you break the feet, it's the same mechanism as a normal HERO10 Black, so you can just buy replacement feet. And then while you wait for your feet to ship, you can still use the 1/4-20. - Dual Mic Support (as mentioned) -- Even smartphones are programming for this as well (iPhones and Galaxys) Or just make a full-on Media Mod 2.0 and put the mic on the opposite side of the battery door so that you can just open the door of the Media Mod 2.0 and have immediate access to the battery bay just like that.

Would love having feet on the Media Mod. It would definitely make it a whole lot easier. I use a Volta now because I was tired of disassembling the whole thing to change batteries. It got me thinking that maybe the lack of feet on the media mod was by design to get us to buy something like the Volta, but the Volta wasn't ready yet when the media mod was released.

Agree on the feet but the screw is also to short and I can't get the door open without a pen knife.

100% agree with u david.hope gopro listen and solve it.

I'm a brand new GoPro user. I took mine to Saint Croix and got wonderful footage. However just changing from one mount to another can be just a pain. I can see how the media mod (which I don't have yet) helps cooling with the hole for the flip down feet. In the climate I just was it works certainly need that. However, having an easier way to change batteries and SD card would be amazing. How about creating a way to leave the GoPro on the mount and developing a way to remove the media mod so you can access the door? So instead you're just removing the housing instead? Obviously closing the side panel would lock it in place on the GoPro so why not make it quick removal? This way you keep the cooling area and solve three issue at hand?

I thought the reason they had it designed this way is because you need the GoPro mounts to extend out from the body for heat dissipation? Without that outlet for the heat and in theory to promote air flow, the battery would overheat?

Geez if I came across this earlier I wouldn’t have just bought a go pro 12 with the media mod…..

I did a similar thing with my dad (running a mic of Hero Session and Hero Session 5s) and another racing buddy (running a Hero 4). My dad’s Sessions would overheat in his race car so he wanted to upgrade to a camera with better cooling. Choices: Hero 8 or 9 from GoPro OR a 7 BNIB from Amazon. After all my issues with the MediaMod I told him to get a 7 and he hasn’t looked back. Same with our other racing buddy.

Yes VERYYY irritating. I've been having problems with this pos where it keeps not detecting battery mid recording after a few seconds and sometimes it completely crashes and then requires to remove battery and SD card and plug it in which can't be done easily with the mount on

Here's my theory of why it doesn't have its own feet...it's the overheating problem. The 9, 10, 11 all had awful overheating problems that were always exacerbated by the media mod enclosure because it retains more heat. My theory is that by not enclosing the feet and using the camera's feet instead of a plastic cover on the mod was GoPro's attempt to try to keep the camera cooler. It's the only explanation that makes sense. But yeah, the design drives me crazy too.

That’s my biggest issue with the Media Mod. It’s a pain to change butteries and micro SD cards. It was especially frustrating for some friends I went on a motorcycle trip with last October. they had to pull over and wait while I dinked around with the camera. I’m surprised Telesin or Ulanzi haven’t come up with a mod for that. They fix all kinds of GoPro gaps with addons. I may even try to fashion something myself. Nothing that a little piece of plastic, some mounting feet and glue wouldn’t take care of 🤔

can you use an adapter to change a camera from a adapter a to c on this adapter?

100 percent this needs to be fixed. just put mounting legs on the media mod. the camera ones can stay folded up. It sucks when we have these mounted to a car (live via starlink) and have to pull card or battery.

I think it would overheat if it was completely enclosed . I like the mic idea, ruined some of my shots because of that the first time.

Mine overheated after 30 minutes of recording in the media mod. Never had that happen when not in the media mod

I agree, its the most annoying part of the media mod, and yes I'd love this fix., However as i use it attached to my helmet riding dirt bikes, i wouldn't be happy with plastic feet, id need for them to be very sturdy!
