In this video, we are taking a closer look at the new updated media mod for the GoPro Hero 9 Black. With the new form factor of the Hero 9, it means many accessories such as the original "Media Mod" are no longer compatible. There are some nice new upgrades and features with the new model. In this video, we do some audio samples both indoors and outdoors to see how the microphones sound.

Thanks for the review. I can’t believe how much better the built-in mic sounded. I’d love to see a review where you include the video with the audio and try standing a few feet back - which would be more of a real world look at the difference between the two.

There is evidence that the Gopro engineers originally wanted to put in a good microphone but instead you find two cheap capsules instead. I can only assume it was a cost cutting measure. I almost feel personally insulted by how bad the product is.

You say that because you proceed from an incorrect premise -- that audio is important to video manufactures, its not. Camera manufactures -- ALL camera manufactures -- put 95% of their efforts into the video. Audio get the other 5%. You're buying a video camera, not an audio recorder.

Yea if you don't need an action camera just get a normal one. Peopl normally get gopro for extreme stuff that mirror less can't do. You can't really compare these 2 cams they are built for diff purpose. Personally I felt thta go pro 8 was a waste of money especially since they release this hero9 which is wya btr. Hero 9 is now worth and close to perfect. I would buy the hero 9 and I think it would still be in the game after 10 years. But I don't have the money😂😂

@rafaelunplugged 3 жыл бұрын

Great time for photography. I normally shoot canon full frame for weddings but enjoyed my m50 for light travel. Transitioning to an RP for full frame sensor but mirrorless form factor. And like 8 batteries 😂 I wonder if this media mod mic is even a real shotgun mic. I know GP8 media mod isn’t even a shotgun mic in there. Interchangeable / replaceable lens is welcome. If the GOPro subscription really does replace your GOPro if damaged it’s definitely worth the price if that is in fact the case. When I buy new cameras I try to get warranty for it too.

What would be good is for a review of rear screen protectors that are suitable for the Media Mod. I fitted a screen protector to the rear screen of my GoPro, and what I noticed was that it formed a nice "invisible" bond to the rear screen. HOWEVER when fitting it into the Media Mod, the screen protector got pushed out of line by a millimetre or so as it wouldn't fit under the MM's bodywork. The result was an air bubble between the rear screen and the screen protector. Some recommendations for slightly smaller screen protectors that will work inside a MM would really help and would be some top advice.

@AdventureTimMedia 3 жыл бұрын

I found the media mod to be pretty good but for some reason when I have it on, it goes straight to a Media Mod setup and won't let me change it to anything other than 2.7k. I don't have this issue if I don't use the mod...strange.

@rossprohaska6263 3 жыл бұрын

OK folks while I might not be the best of audio people I can suggest this. I am going to speculate that while the sound directly from the Mod Mic sounds tinny and worse than what comes directly from the GoPro (the stock audio probably is boosted to allow "warmer" sounding audio). It's probably being processed correctly through the GoPro so you can boost and modify it in Post. Think of the audio coming from the "Better" and specific mic is allowing better audio to be processed for after the fact. Remember different mics are designed to pick up specific audio for specific reasons. Kinda like the analogy how a shotgun and a rifle still do the same thing but the projectiles that come from it are designed to get different results. Make sense???

Question, filmed with a MM for the first time just yesterday. Included a Wireless Go in the MM. Sound was great, but the actual videos that were recorded were not compatible with a former version of Premiere. Prior videos shot with just the H9 work perfectly with the old Premiere version. Did I miss a setting in the H9 to video with the MM?

When using the Hero 8, I found the best audio was when I selected "stereo" and I thought that audio sounded ok. The mics on the media mod for the 9 didn't sound good at all and apparently you have to select either front or back but not stereo. Bummer.
