Honestly i like the internal mic more than 2 options.

Honestly the great thing avoiding the media mod is just keeping things simple, having more stuff to set up and think about is rather off putting, the one thing that wasn't covered to those not in the know or forgetful is once you add the media mod, its no longer water proof. I'm not talking about going for a swim but with even just the windslayer, you can easily still go out in the rain where ever you are, this is more apparent if you live in a country or area that is prone to such weather. Think the expression good enough needs to be used more.

That wind slayer is so impressive… What a great way to get awesome audio at a cheap entry price… Nice job Danny.

The wind slayer is good for the price. Unfortunately you just put an insulated coat on an already overheated camera. That's my issue with the wind slayer...well, even the media mod tends to hold in the heat. I suppose if it's winter or fall, no big deal but once summer hits and the camera starts over heating, it will shut down the media mod, remote control and even recording gets a little weird. If you are only putting your camera on for a few minutes to record, I can't see an issue but I run mine for hours at a time, so keeping it cool is always an problem. Maybe someone should invent a GoPro Cooler! Nice video.

I took your advice on the GoPro 9 and bought the wind slayer, It works a bloody treat and I don’t ever get my adaptor out at all. Much simpler and much easier

You answered so many questions that i wanted answers to in that video, thanks danny!. I rode along that riverwalk today too.👍

Just ordered my Windslayer! Thanks for the recommendation!

Great video. Thanks for the info. Good to see another Brisbane local

Awesome video man. Very helpful. And as many say, I prefer the built in microphone

Great comparison! Dude I can’t wait to see you get the subscribers you deserve. You are THE authority on GoPro accessories and have the highest production quality in the space.

Fantastic review this was super helpful!!! I love that you kept it short and sweet

Great information, thanks man.

The wind slayer, that is what I want!! I don't want to detach a battery cover for media mod. Also, I can't use wireless modules because I usually make videos with my 9-month-old baby. I can't put the wireless modules on her chest. That was a brilliant idea. Thank you. 😊

Thanks very helpful if I go for a GoPro Hero 10 I will get a windslayer to start with brilliant info and presentation

I hate the wind noise cancel because it usually cancels your voice as well. The Telesin sounded great!

This video was incredibly helpful. And you saved me a lot of $ as I didn’t know the Windslayer existed. Thank you kind sir! Subscribed

I do have the media mod. I like it for the external mic AND the light mod. Thanks for the video.

Thx man, your video really helped. Appreciate it. Great delivery too, you are great on cam dude. Cheers!

Very good, exactly the comparison I was looking for. Thanks!

Thanks for another awesome review! Wondering if this cage causes the GoPro any quicker heat issues?? Thanks again. 😊

thanks for great Information Dude & I'm impressed by the Way how much effort you put into making this video , Way to go bro ❤️🙏💯

picked up the Wind Slayer. Excited to put it to use! Cheers!

this is such great info! thanks so much for doing these easy to watch comparison videos!

It seems like managing background noise (like the boat) for a mic comparison test would have been pretty clutch.

Dude this helped a lot. Gonna use my video micro with the media mod since I already have it. Thanks!

Awesome vid! Yeah that Telesin mic is so awesome! I love mine and use it all the time!

Awesome comparison demo

Lmao @ Muff

Thanks man! Very informative. I'm looking to start adding restaurant and product reviews to my channel and this is a great resource for where to start when it comes to including great audio. Add another subscriber to you list. Thanks again.

wind slayer slayer for the win! also in this video, it felt like you were bringing "vlogging in public" back

that's some nice footage of the Story Bridge :D

Love the go pro video keep them up

This was super helpful, thank you!

Fantastic video i have the media mod from the 9 loving it for bike rides

Your videos don't papear first when I serached things about the camera BUT!!! really like them, I prefer your videos because you don't make them boring long, you are on that sweetspot that makes it want to click it and see it instead of the other videos out. Thanks, I might be getting the 10, I liked your comparison with the 9, plus this video, is all I was looking for to made my mind and get a gopro 10

Does the GoPro Hero 10 have any audio settings within the camera? As I can't seem to find them anywhere. Great video btw, Danny.

Enjoyed your demonstration.

Another great share Fam 🤙🏾🔥

Thank you for your info 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great review thanks for sharing.

Hi Danny, just found your channel and thanks for this Vid. Just got the hero 10 and media mod for my motorcycle Vids. Hoping I made a good choice. Just not sure how to get the best audio while riding. Any advice is appreciated. 😁

Great video man, I was just about to order one and then you kinda talked me out of it (for now haha). I’m doing a lot of travel filming and definitely could use some better sound in my videos. What city is that btw?

Solid and fresh video.

Good review - thank you

Perfect for when u are back on the cruise ship sailaways!!!! 🛳🛳🛳

The one reason I would always recommend an external microphone is it just for me stops that handling noise you get from moving the tripod ETC Great comparison and great video as always though Danny

Let’s go 🤙🏾🔥

Very helpful thank you sir!

I use the Ulanzi extender for the Rode video micro. It really helps keeping the wind muff out of sight. Just got the wind slayer looking forward to trying it.

Great video. Quick question, can I use the mod to connect a selfie stick to the audio input to trigger a picture?

Dannnyyyy! You've broken my bank bruh! Much needed accessories for great sound. Media mod on the way! It's Fat Tuesday er'day!

Very helpful video thanks for sharing your findings Danny.. Hope you had time for a beer at felons 🍻

awesome vid. Thanks!

Good video. What a nice guy! In order to use the Rode video micro, do you need to have the GoPro media mod?

Thank you so much …. Now I know how to avoid wind noise … I have media mod.. but, I always forgetting it😅😅😅

thanks for the info, I have the media mod and am adding an external mic

It'll take a while for the river front to recover from the recent floods 😢 Love Brisbane 💪

MAX LENS MOD. Hi Danny, does the WindSlayer fit around the max lens mod?

great video, thanks!

Hi good video, thanks which record mode did you used? I mean resolution.

I'm a drummer, and use a Hero 2018, which by-and-large works great, but sometimes the cymbals aren't great for the built-in mic, would these mics help with that? And would they even be compatible with a Hero 2018?

Even in the standard mode, yours sounds way better than mine. I get a ton of handling noise from the selfie stick

Thank you 🤛🏽

What wind slayer fits the 10? Amazon reviews aren't promising. Thanks !

Good job Bro 👍🏻.

Sounds good can u get a media mod with mic facing backwards as i dont like the camera facing me ie i like to film foward and mic backwards facing me to pick sound up

Good useful video. Is the location in this video Brisbane Australia? Thanks

Thanks!

I have the wind slayer and would buy the media mod if I thought I would be using it a lot. The go pro is mostly just mounted on my bike, as a safety option, more than a vlogging tool. Money isn’t the deciding factor. I’m not sure what to do. What do you think? Thanks for the vid, I like the genuine viewpoints.

Nice comparison! I’m working on my own comparison and love the media mod personally. Keep it up!

good test. thanks for the information. However, I stick with my heavy EOS 5D. I do not like the way too much depth of field on the gopro. Everything looks like a postcard ... not very nice

I was surprised that both external mics sounded quieter than the internal mic or the media mod. Interesting. Thanks!

Amazon has windslayers from the same brand and their store, 2 for 10 bucks.

Awesome video as always Danny! I usually use the Rode Wireless Go... BUT, im now on my 3rd Media Mod since December as the inside of the port the jack goes into keeps breaking and getting loose so will not hold the cable for the external mic. My media mods have been very well looked after and Gopro keep sending ne new ones so that's good, but just fed up with it now. Inbetween my media mods (while gopro are sending me new ones) I use the same wind slayer, and it is great, if there isnt too much wind!! My channel is all about hiking and wildcamping in the hills and mountains so need decent wind protection. Im actually using the wind slayer on my latest video, if you wanted to hear out of interest how bad it is. You can hear at the start and thats only like 15mph winds, about 2:10 in when im at the trigonometry point im in about 20 - 25mph winds. You can still hear what im saying but wind noise is very bad. **added: not that bad that I wouldnt upload it but in comparison to my external mic** Only using this waiting for my OTHER media mod to arrive. When using my Wireless Go even in 40mph winds plus its very, very good. Fed up of media mods now so think after Christmas im going to get a Tascam DR-10L for reliability. I know ill have to sync my audio but thats like a one min job (depending on software obviously) so no bother to me. If you are lower down flogging like you were though then yeah save your cash and get the wind slayer 100%! When ive done some woodland and forest hammock camps with hardly any wind the sound have been bang on 👌🏻👌🏻 Thanks for your time in reading and for a fantastic video as always. Chris ✌🏼

I have the rode mic with the adaptor and it makes a strange background sound ...but when I put the wireless ride mic I dont have that sound the sound is clean I just don't understand what is the problem? The same issues happens with seremonic mic also ...in the end I may just use the go pro 9 without anything just the mic build in

Can you use the wind slayer and mount the go pro on your head ? I want to make a youtube fishing channel but not sure if I should get the mic mod, or the wind slayer.

Thanks this helped out a lot, I just bought a GoPro Hero 10 Black and was considering which mic to get. 😃

A timely video for sure. I'm going back and forth with another Tuber on the merits of the media mod because, while his content is fantastic, he does occasionally suffer from bad audio from wind. In my use the only draw back for the media mod is it adds bulk, but that it's. For motovlogging you have the benefit of using an external mic that runs inside the helmet but another added bonus is being able to run the GoPro off a power brick simultaneously and in a convenient manner. As for using the media mod for cycling (or electronic skateboarding etc) videos the bonuses are the same, external mic's either wired or wireless and using a power brick. There's one more bonus though while cycling/mountain biking. If you have your rig chest mounted you can tell the media mod to use the rear mic, the one facing your chest. This way you cut out even more ambient noise such as wind while at the same time isolating spoken word. And for the times your talking to the camera you can set up a short cut to flip the mic to the front..although you have to do that while not recording, which isn't the end of the world. All in all the media mod for my uses is a must. My GoPro 9 lives in it. Thanks for the video and examples.

can we use pass through door in go pro hero 10 and directly use type c mic adaptor other than go pro brand ?

Thanks

hey, i would like to ask what cable u use to connect lens go with gopro, thanks in advance

Can you get cold shoe spacers to get the dead cat out of shot as I already have the rode shortie

what corded mic would you recommend with the medial mod? I need to run the mic from the media mod into a motorcycle helmet.

I expected this video to be about the Media Mod, not a mic comparizon haha Am I the only one? Wanted to learn more about the hdmi output and if there is a way to avoid the media mod for recording the gopro straight into an atem mini

Looks like someone has been down to the New Farm Riverwalk^^

Ayo wait a minute. Thats brisbane, i knew it looked familiar lol.

Hi! Does the mic get in the way of the skyreat anamorphic lens when using the mediamod?

thank you!

For me, I only bought the media mod so i can attach an external mic. Much tidier than using the GoPro mic adapter

HOW DO I PUT A VIDEO ON PAUSE WHEN RECORD MOVE TO ANOTHER AREA AND RECORD HOW DO I STOP THE VIDEO THEN GO RECORD AGAIN LIKE I NOT WANT TO FILM ONE AREA AND WANT TO MOVE TO A NEW LOCATION STARTED THE SAME VIDEO BACK UP

The built in mics with the slayer isn’t as clean as the Rode, especially with background noise, but it sounds a lot better for your voice than the media mod, 2nd mic, and wireless mic. The Rode has the high end sizzle that a lot of modern condenser vocal mics have. I personally don’t like that, so that’s the only downside besides the price to me

Just curious. The H10B is supposed to reduce heat being in the wind. How does this work out with the Windslayer?

I just bought the gold proton I have the 5 and the 4 and the DGI if they were smart when you open up the battery case the battery should click in and stay cause I have the Mike I clipped to my shirt works just fine the battery gets too hot if they're gonna have this compressor it's not that tough that's what like my GoPro 4 they overengineered it common sense when it comes to it I'm debating to get it or not if the battery would stay in and stay put I wouldn't need that anyways good video feel free to call my Podcast sometime

Smashing these video 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

What about Helmet Mic? Could you do a video for that please

Can you use cheaper mic adapter without media mod?

I’m surprised how good the built in mic sounded.

Exactly the video I've been looking for. Just got a GoPro10 (yea, I know, the 11 is out, but the 10 has all I need). Will get a windslayer for shots outside the shop on windy days and save some $$$. Thanks!

Does the Windslayer overheat the GoPro 10?

I just returned the media mod because the mic on it sucks (internal mic sounds better), and I didnt want to attach extra mic as the reason for me using go pro is its small size. It just wasnt worth the price for making the video sound so staticky
