GoPro Wind Slayer vs Media Mod For Motorcycles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 дек 2024
- HSU claim their Wind Slayer foam cover for the GoPro is as good as the GoPro Media Mod, for a fraction of the price. We put it to the ultimate test, strapped to the front of a motorcycle helmet, with interesting results.

Thanks Josh. I only use the wind slayer when filming myself whilst walking around . The external mic set up works fine for me on my hero 7, but the trick is to get that mic up inside the helmet well away from wind and have a chin curtain as well. I also wrap my mic in an old cut up wind slayer covering the existing mic foam cover. I find it works well and you don't restrict the audio... If you still get crackle noise in the audio, check the Mic adapter..... I've had one fail..... hope this helps someone
Dead cat and tuck (mostly) behind cheek pad works for me 🙏 But yeah those Wind Slayers do a great job for the walking and talking, for sure ✌ Cheers
Thanks Josh that was cool to see the difference, I use the wind slayer on my GoPro 7 black only because I couldn’t get an external mic to stop the wind like you do, tried 3 different types and it also made the GoPro unreliable to turn on and off with the external mic connected and did my head in so I just went with average audio but reliable on off operations but when jacqui and I get to gimpie I’m going to 🤞get you to sort me out because you audio is awesome 🤙😎
Shit that's not bad mate I thought you were running a proper mic. Not much I can do to make the GoPro reliable Pauly, short of strapping a power bank to ya helmet like I do 😅
No comparison ... the Media Mod two sided mic is the decision maker for me - just order it! Your windslayer video sounds like my go pro 12 with no wind protection.
🤷♂️
Thanks Josh, good comparison 👍🏻👍🏻
🤙🤙
Hmmmm when I was riding never really bothered with anything but I did use some foam around the mic bit on the gopro. The 360 gopro I used was gtg but don’t ride anymore. Great vid and is interesting as what I would do if I went back into bikes. Cheers Josh
Any reason you decided to give the riding away mate? Just time for a change?
@@MVDBR nah my back has 6 pins in it and it was getting taxing on me to be honest I love the bike but just couldn’t get in the groove up here with to other many hobbies
@@teamneveadventures9528 fair enough mate, keep doin what ya love that's what's important ✌
@@MVDBR I shall live my bike riding through you brother
@@teamneveadventures9528 haha righto 🤘
Been using a wind slayer on a Hero 8 for at least a year now. It's great for outdoors stuff like my archery vids, but no chance on the bike, although using it rear facing and placed behind you you can get a fair result, I mean, for the money it does not bad really. External mic all the way for on the bike though.
Shame about your sunglasses, I dropped my spectacles in the sea yesterday when out on the 390 adventure (ooops!)
Oh shit, losing ya prescriptions can get costly! Thankfully I only buy cheap sunnies cause I'm forever losing and breaking them but it's still annoying cause it's so hard to find ones I like and that fit my weird face properly hahaha. Thanks for the comment mate 🍻
@@MVDBR I went for a paddle and rescued them, cos the water was super calm and sort of mudflats underneath. Now the question is do I fit some cable tie system to the specs so I dont do that sort of daft thing again. Touratech prob do something 🤣🤣🤣
@@Hutchie2112 😅😅
Did you try the wind slayer with wind reduction on? I bought a insta 360 rs, and it's a mess with the wind, in they're web site they in the features of the camera they put an audio with wind reduction on and off, and it's a total BS compared to real use... still don't know if i sent it back, they are stalling me with the support...
No I didn't bother trying it with the wind reduction on, probably should have but I doubt it would have made things much better. Yeah I have seen people trying to use those Insta 360s for motorcycling, the audio is a write off. Better off as a secondary video-only camera and sync with audio from a GoPro or whatever with external mic 🤷♂
What mic solution are you using with the Osmo Josh....out of interest?
Was using the inbuilt mics in this vid mate but in Nat's helmet currently using a cheap lav mic with an inline volume adjuster set to max (like this one ebay.us/p2ZEBQ ) previously was running the Drift mic which worked just as well (from Camzilla www.camzilla.com.au/drift-ghost-external-microphone ) no need for the volume adjuster with the Drift mic, but man that Osmo audio is pretty ordinary no matter how ya look at it 😭
@@MVDBR cheers man, good to know.
It is def a viable alternative to the Media Mod for those not wanting an external mic in their helmet.... and a wedge cheaper. Still an utter faff to change batteries though. Good test Kosh! 🙂
I don't want any utter faffs in my life Kete I'm tired of all these utter faffs 😭
@@MVDBR is good you got a powerbank to work
@@HippoDrones yeah it's really working a treat 👌 thinking about splurging on one of these Voltaic power banks that are always on, rather than needing my dodgy dongle to keep it awake
@@MVDBR ooh, that could be good, if you do, let us know if it works and if it is worth the cost. Currently I am still loving the endurance batteries, only used 2 yesterday on a 9 hour ride... wasn't recording for the whole ride mind, but can cope with one battery swap a day... especially as I use the mic adaptor rather than media mod, so swapping a battery takes seconds pretty much.
@@HippoDrones fkn ripper, still can't get those enduro batteries anywhere in Australia 🤦♂
What external mic are you using with the media mod Josh?
Purple Panda is your Huckleberry for the GoPro mate, great lav mic kit with a weird name 😁 amzn.to/3vFF1Zn
I lost my media mod foam cant get them, does anyone know where to get them
I just had a quick google, check out this vid apparently GoPro might send you a replacement for free. And next time be more careful 😉😅 ruclips.net/video/3ixoVXNecR0/видео.html
@@MVDBR cheers josh i will give it a try i only used it the once and yeah i will try and be more careful next time 🤫
@@crugwrf hahaha good lad 😁 let me know if you get a win ✌
Media mod all the way mate 👍🍻🍻
Yeah 🙌
Good Review!
🍻
WOOPA bloody rippa mate 👍🍻🍻🍻🍻
You sound like someone I know 😅
@@MVDBR cool as bananas mate 👍
@@MVDBR wonder if he'll go emu hunting any time 🤣😂👍
@@MVDBR take that bloody tiger with him next time that'll show the bugger 👍
@@MVDBR DMD 2 mate it's awesome best I've found yet 👍👌🍻🍻 bloody rippa 🍻🍻
so incredible . see u aronud,))
🤙🤙
Well, my verdict for what it’s worth… the Windslayer has a funky name, but it’s clearly not up to the job.
Yeah nah, not really designed for such use but the HSU folks were interested to see how it fared anyway 😁 appreciate the comment mate ✌
Fucking Slayer!!!
🤘🤘
