Great video man! Really did a amazing job showing the comparisons helping people like me, who are new to go pro, decide what suits my needs best!

Thank you for this review! We are beginners into the filming world, but will be doing a lot of it to log our travel adventures we are about to embark on. Thanks for the work you put into this review.

Thanks for the info and advice! New to Go Pro, and looking forward to getting the most I can out of the camera!

Hey man, great video! Do u know if u can monitor through the hdmi while recording video? TIA

Thank you for the review, we want to improve the quality of our videos, so this really helped!

I was looking at the mediamod and wondering if it would be good for my setup, as I don't have any one use for either a camera or a GoPro. I bought a SmallRig frame for the Hero9 that I have, and I was left wondering how the 3.5mm stereo/USB-C adapter that GoPro sells, would actually fit onto this cage. the bottom line is, it didn't. I didn't wanna shell out another inordinate amount on a bespoke accessory, so I managed to jerry-rig a solution. the width/thickness of the adapter body is almost exactly the same width as the coldshoe mount, so I stuffed it in there and it's a VERY tight fit, but it works. now I have a solution that doesn't get in the way of a shot, allows sound flexibility with my use of Rode wireless mics, and keeps everything neat and tidy.

Got a Hero 8 Black as “new old stock”. Dummy me thought a Media Mod is a Media Mod. A lot of used ones on eBay don’t clarify what you have just told us. You just saved me $79. Thank you!

would love to get some info on the presets used to shoot your videos on the gopro! nice video

Love the comparisons of sound quality. Have a new 10 and now looking at the Media Mod. I think perfect for me as a beginner.

I just got it because I wanted to connect a rode wireless mic. Works great. Plug and play

Great video thanks. Once you've ripped off the battery door can you put it back on again or is it off forever?

You answered your own questions which were as mine would be. I’m going to buy the Media mod. I probably won’t bother with other add-ons so this will be perfect for me. Vlogging,You call it? Just filming my cycling and holiday adventures ? not really getting into too much editing etc. It’s £80 here in U.K. I think that’s not too bad, when it’s just plug and play. Thanks for an informative vid.

New sun. Loved your vid. I have a H10 with Media mod and I love it. Really small form factor and I am not a pro.

Great video. I'm gonna head over to the UK amazon and get me one.

Thanks for sharing! I have the Hero 10 without the media mod. If I did, I would use it for a Sennheiser MKE 200 or 400 mic along with the ability of using a power bank at the same time. Only other concern I would have with it would be the case causing the GoPro to retain more heat than without. I.M.O., I wouldn't purchase the media mod just for it's mic alone. I've heard some wind tests which wasn't all that impressive. Thanks again, great presentation. 👍😊

The audio quality coming from the media mod's microphone is just trash. The internal mic sounds somewhat more pleasing than the media mod's. Anyone else noticing this??

What tripod/extended stick was that shoving in this video, where can I find exactly that one

Wow such a subtle description…beautifully explained!!

couple thing Thomas... have you tried your media mod on your gopro10 without a battery in the camera? I get a screen saying Battery Required... You're gopro will power off. Insert a battery and reconnect to your power source. If we could power the camera with the media mod without battery in the camera it would help with some of the heating issues when running the gopro10 for longer times than a single battery would provide. I have also seen where if you do have a battery in the camera and you have external power connected to the media mod that when in record mode the gopro10 stops charging. This is counterproductive as we're trying to extend the camera run times!

so helpfull. great VIDEO..

awesome vide Thomas!

I just bought GoPro 10 and also I had rode wireless microphone. Can you guide us how to set up and how to put them together. Thanks

Great review. Thanks. I am considering the media mod mainly for the wind noise cancelling. Is it an improvement over no mod. Thanks

I bought a Media Mod Hero10/Hero9, as listed on Ebay. I got it today, and my Hero 10 sill not fit in it at all. It's too small for the Hero10. It was listed as new, and when I got it today in the mail, the box was sealed with the retail round sticker. But when I opened it, there was no Mic attachment, no instruction booklet, and the thing is scuffed up. Then when I tried to put my Hero 10 in it, but it is way too small. So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, of if someone stuck a different media mod in the box. Like, is the Hero 8 media mod smaller than the Hero 9/10 one? And I just noticed that the rubber flap that goes over the outputs is missing.

I just got my Go-Pro so I am still getting use to it. I was on a cruise for eight days and they had a sale on the Hero 9 . I got that and and an accessory kit duty free and at a really good price. I have not picked any mods , but I have started looking at some additional pieces. The media mod for sure, but I am butter fingers so first I think an armor case. But after that lights, mics, and lenses.

Well, It's tough because I want to connect an external lapel mic. But I have read very mixed reviews on the GoPro USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. In addition to the middling reviews, the adapter costs $50 and it's bulky. So on the other hand there's the media mod, which would allow me to connect a lapel mic. But I have read many reviews that state that the media mod causes the GoPro to overheat faster, and also that it's a pain to swap the battery and the SD card. Is it really that bad? I feel like this was a good review, but the reviewer skipped over the biggest negatives that people often site when reviewing this product (overheating and access to battery/SD card). I would like to know more about how much of a nuisance it is to switch the battery in the field.

Hi i am having problem with gopro brand media mod, I have removed side cover before inserting to gopro media mod, I have gopro 9 and 10, my gopro media mod fits with with gopro9 but doesn't fit with gopro10...Can't be two different media mod between 9 and 10? It's so weird.

Hi, on the hero 10, does the media mod output your previously recorded files in 4k, or is it limited to 1080? Thanks in advance.

Heeey - thanks man I am a very new newbie I e I have literally just bought a go pro 10 and media mod I literally have no idea what I am doing and want to learn something new everyday. Any advice? It would be welcomed as your the first media person I have contacted btw I have a drone aswell.

I’m looking the best setup for my daughter who is just starting personal training career. I’m trying to purchase a reasonably priced setup for good Video clarity for export to social media upload and sound quality. Is GoPro hero an affordable opinion for her needs and would you recommend the more or is that something a beginner wouldn’t need for sound? Any feedback or recommendations for her needs is appreciated. TIA!

Can you tell me more avbout the live stream quick app. And where to get it? Nice demos on the media mod

does the camera show the audio meter without the media mod or only with it?

i want to buy this media mod for my hero10 so i can attach my external mic (rode videomicpro+) onto it. u showed that on some shooting modes the mic will be caught in the fov. ive seen some videos where there are mounting kits to help with this like from ulanzi btw, new to the filming world…

Can you charge it thru c port and send video signal thru hdmi in the same time?

Will the Media Mod protect the GoPro for mountain biking or best to ride without?

I don't have the Media Mod and I don't have the other stuff so I may get the Media Mod. Thanks 4 the info!

Can you post link to that microphone you are to compare the media mod VA external mic. It seems pretty good and I am willing to consider buying it. Or would you recommend a different mic than the one you are using? I plan on doing a lot outside and could experience high wind and loud noises. I bought the media mod for that but I am totally fine with using it with something else or totally scrapping it for something else. Any recommendations is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Is it any good for creating Music Videos with quality sufficient for putting on youtube?

Are there camera settings that you would advise while using the media mod that would prevent overheating? I was shooting 30 minutes of video and then subsequently 20 minutes of video with it overheating once in a chest mount and another on a window mount.

Hi Brother , can yoU plz tell me , should I buy media mod for gopro 10 for my vlogging videos ?

I have tried countless times to connect it to my GoPro 10 I bought the display and I bought the media mod and I cannot get them to connect. Why Spike why? Your videos were great that’s all I wanna do is make great videos like yours!

cool vid!! Thx.

Thanks

What canon camera set u have in your hands ?

How does using the case make it any less water proof? I don't get it. If it's water proof without the case....Do you need to open up a port or something to use it?

Do you think it would be fine getting caught in the rain? On a motorcycle helmet maybe once or twice a year

I bought the GoPro 10 I love it if you had any way to contact GoPro the battery should click in and stay in and I can use my Mike when the pieces off so you can get at it they need to have a different way to put the chip in chip in and a different spot but they would have to make sure that the battery stays in and a different area for the Mike like my GoPro 4 I get it I might buy one I love my GoPro 10 and my GoPro 4 and 5 and my DGI as well

Nice video but why on earth did you overdub a drum beat on the sample footage. I wanted to be able to listen to the difference in sound quality between the media mod and inbuilt microphone - but it is too difficult to do with that drum beat overlayed.

I'll use the Media Mod (which I just bought today for the Go Pro 10, which I bought a couple of weeks ago) for a Rode Wireless Go 2 and for walking around London, from Toronto, next time I go. Even though the Go Pro has a good sound, I can isolate the Rode more with a Rode Lavalier mic in case traffic, etc., is a little too loud. Mind you, the Brits don't seem as obstreperous as us, over here. I'll alternate between that setup and a Sony a7C on a Weebill S gimbal and use a Sony ECMB1M mic, atop that. But I also want to bring a Sony RX100VA as all three are good for different reasons, and I may be there for a month.

Hello sorry to bother you here. I am Linda from the Promotion Team of HSU, a brand that focuses on action camera accessories. Is there any chance that you would like to try our GoPro wind reduction foam? Compared with media mod, wind reduction foam is more affordable and can reduce most of the wind noise for daily use.

You camera assistant stole the show!

what ND filter works with the media mod?

Fyi the thumbscrew actually needs to be the other way! says it in the manual. Tried it like you first and it's hard to unscrew, but it's fine on the other side. I'm not sure what that dent is really for.

Media mod vs rode mic which one is better in sound?

I was able to get it with A package deal for $39. I've yet to use it but the video is encouraging.

The only reason I am looking at a media mod is because my hero10 isn't playing nicely with my production system, so I cannot use it as a USB webcam (the old crash reporter error that nobody seems to know how to fix). I checked it on a bone stock windows 10 install and I could just about getting it working, but not very impressive to be honest. So I would consider the media mod to use the HDMI out to feed one of my elgato capture cards. Such a painful waste to spend more money just to get the camera to do what it's suppose to do!

did i misunderstand this ? the internal mic and rode video sound great and full and the media mod sounds hollow

I must order mediemod. For HDMI for streming.

Worth it? Not for me. I tried the Media Mod with the Hero 8 but the incompatibility with filters made it a bad choice. For the Hero 10 I reverted to a Ulanzi plastic cage with filter thread (the metal ones are too heavy) The plastic cage plus mic adapter still costs less than the Media Mod. And I love easy use of ND's and circular polarizers.

Great video review on the media mod. Realistically, media mod mic is really disappointed. I already checked some reviews from other youtubers, I still think the media mod mic is really average, I even prefer the audio quality straight from cam. However, the ability to add an external mic and eventually a ext light on the gopro is a real benefit getting media mod. The audio on the hero 10/media mod sounds like night and day compared to the audio I get from my gopro 7. Great content on your channel. I'm glad to be a new sub

I owned the Media Mod for the GoPro Hero 8. Personally, I feel it defeats the purpose of a GoPro. I’ve attached a light to it (the overpriced Light Mod) and a Rode Microphone but now it was anything but portable. So now, with the Hero 10, I’ve decided to leave it naked. It’s tempting to want to transform this camera into something else but it is an action camera first. If I want a vlogging camera, I would just get something like the ZV. I just wish there was a way to attach the light to the GoPro without the media mod, as that can definitely help in travel videos, especially during the evening.

Is it just me or did the media mod mics sound worse than the regular GoPro mic?

Haha, I only ordered the mod to mount the light on to the camera. Landed here to see what it can do 😂

Want to buy

TOTAL VIBEZZZZZZZ

TOTAL VIBES

The people need to see more of the bumpy pumpkin vibes

A cruise is how I came to buy my GoPro 6 after my expensive camera was stolen. I am looking into the media mod but certainly not 100 percent whether I will use it.

idk if it’s good for a concert

I prefer the GoPros sound to the media mod Mod sounds weird to my ears

if you want to throw a small, inconspicious camera on stage in front of your buddies and stream the video mixed with the record out from their mixer back to an Atem video streamer, yeah this works :)

ayy

I dont think this gizmo has a better mic/sound then inbuilt gopro mic. Therefore NO.

when are you going to gift me gopro🥰

teh original sounds better than the mod

The way you speak makes me think that is no way your daughter

This guy really must do something about his appalling lack of self confidence.

I will not use a gopro, I can not stand the fish eye videos'
