Good review. $80 for the media mod feels excessive if I only consider that one thing, but I have to consider the cost of the entire setup. I can currently get the Hero 8 for $300 new, which feels like a steal. So for under $500 you can have a quality, fully functional setup with several accessories, spare battery and mem card. That seems like a fair price for a full setup.
Great review. I got one so we can use it on broadcast and feed it into the control room desk via some long cable, we can also run the Gopro8 on mains. The sound is excellent with the mod
Nice review, I’ve been studying a new compact set up for a couple of weeks now and the audio quality is important for me also and I think this could be it for me now. Many thanks
Hi, I’m not sure if you saw my reply to your question, the answer is yes it switches, however whatever I do thereafter it doesn’t work nor can I use voice command with the external mic connected.
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 just bought a hero 8 disappointed that the video clips do not automatically join up so you don’t have to use a editing programme! Also when you buy the extras to get full use It runs into a $650 very expensive toy to have then what is your opinion, Yours Pete from Middle England,
Thanks for this review, I appreciate you doing this because I believe like you the mod is worth buying just for that extra boost in sound quality. I will be picking this up thanks to you.
I've noticed that you plugged Deity V.Lav, which is a TRRS microphone directly into the media mod. Does that mean we no longer need the TRRS to TRS adaptor for external mics like before?
Unfortunately, the Mic's on the Media Mod are not actually a shotgun mic as GoPro advertises. Check out David Harry's video on the Media Mod and from others out there.
I wasn't actually using the one that I showed in the video... it didn't have any battery...It was more for show than anything else :) The external microphone that I used in one of those tests was the Diety V.Lav Microphone
Hello, great vide. I just got the Media Mod, but my GoPro Hero 8 Black won't let me change the audio settings from Stereo, even after doing the update. Do you know why by any chance? Have you come across this problem?
I have the media mod and a Rode smartLav externaliser mic however I cannot seem to get it to work. Any ideas from your vast and professional experience would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, it switches on to “standard mic.” If I select this then I can see all the options and select “standard mic+” if I try to record the mic doesn’t work on any setting.
you I seen 1 of your video about a phone named zte axon m z999 so I wanted to order it but it says it can't ship to Hong Kong so if you still have that phone can you ship it to me pls
Omg that 3.5mm jack is what I want more than anything lmao. I'm using the 7 with that big fat add on. But I'm not spending $100s to upgrade when mine's already working.
How in 2020 is the audio still so garbage? I have an 8 with media mod and it feels like the usual Gopro bodgery. The whole thing is a mess right down the having to unbolt the entire thing from the mount just to change the battery (because they were too cheap to put a bracket on the media mod itself). It's ridiculous and always feels like a makeshift effort at best. All that for still horrible audio (because clearly they used the cheapest nastiest mics in the media mod).
If you don’t want, or know someone who doesn’t want, your GoPro Hero 8 *Media Mod*, please let me know! I am trying to obtain one before my Spring Break/Family Reunion in Hawaii!! Thanks!!!

GoPro using Apple-tactics of making all mods bespoke so you have to buy them and cannot use cheaper options. GP8 + Media + Light + Display is going to be expensive - plus most are using a mic as well and not direct media mod mic.
Yup GoPro stealing our hard earned money for a 3mm Jack, that internal mic is not a shotgun go check Davis Harry’s channel, he pull this apart and there is nothing inside of the supposedly shot gun mic. I pre order this but just for the easy to use of the 3mm jack.GoPro just lying to us !
Yo, you gotta keep making these. Your accent is fantastic.
1300 videos already :)
@@RedskullPro keep it up. This was so helpful I bought a media mod 👌 thank you

Very helpful in finding the required settings, thank you! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Omg! Aquaholic is here🤩🤩🤩
thank you for the review, can i ask what tri pod you are using on the gopro in this video
Hi, I’m not sure if you saw my reply to your question, the answer is yes it switches, however whatever I do thereafter it doesn’t work nor can I use voice command with the external mic connected.
Hey, no I didn't see the replay, only the new comments show up in my feed. Did you try that microphone with a different camera?
Redskull, yes I’ve tried with a different camera and it works fine.
We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for GoPro, can we send you one to you to play with?
Been thinking about getting the gopro 8 at Wal-Mart its only 300 now. But should I wait for the gopro 9 to come out? Whats ur guys opinions?
can you connect and use rode videomic pro to the 3.5mm jack?
you can 100%! I tried it with a different rode microphone
does it matter what micro hdmi to hdmi adapter you buy for the gopro hero 8
Big upgrade to have I think on this camera .. nice review like always!
I feel that it is overpriced... Just with the Media Mod we are already looking at $500...

Yours Pete from Middle England,
There are many free basic video editors out there. If you use an iphone you can use iMovie
can you add a wireless lavalalier to the media mod?
Another best review by you💓💓
Hey, thanks for checking it out!
@@RedskullPro always welcome brother 💓💓💓💓
Between the internal mic and media mod, I didn't hear any noticeable differences in audio quality. Defintely not worth an additional $79.
Thanks for this review, I appreciate you doing this because I believe like you the mod is worth buying just for that extra boost in sound quality. I will be picking this up thanks to you.
Supposedly it's sold out every where...a friend of mine was trying to get one and couldn't find it
Sir u removed the battery of the gopro 8 once ur gonna use the media mod? And media mod is chargeable?
No, the battery stays in the gopro but the side door gets removed. The media mod is not rechargeable
Awesome, are you going to review the audio mod on gopro 9, you made a very clear review,thNks
I am, whenever it get here...seems to be sold out...
What mic is that...i want to buy ..what the mic name
Do you have any issues with handling noise with the GoPro 8? I have a lot of issues with that on my 6 black. Thanks great video!
Depends how you hold it I guess... i try to keep my hand as far from it as possible
I've noticed that you plugged Deity V.Lav, which is a TRRS microphone directly into the media mod.
Does that mean we no longer need the TRRS to TRS adaptor for external mics like before?
correct!
is media mod available on Amazon?
not yet
media mod with external mic sounds best
it does indeed!
It's a nice sitting if you really need to upgrade your sound quality
some say that the sound is the most important...who knows
Verry nice review man ! Big fan of you man
Much appreciated!
any issues yet with the media mod?
What is the difference between the gopro and canon if I want to make a video for youtube but just speak at home?
depends what canon and what gopro I guess... a dslr will do much better indoors where there isn't that much light
Does anyone else hear that ringing from the stereo mic part. Wonder if it’s the case.
I use the Osmo Action but the Mic info is useful for me. Thanks for this.
I always wanted to get that camera... I'll get the next generation to try it out
Redskull it is pretty good in my opinion. And I am a fan of DJI so it made sense for me to use it. DJI drone , Pocket , action.
Only a Hero braves the frozen Tundra to do a review! Cheers
I am a Hero! Hero 8!
I'm a Hero! The Hero 8!
Unfortunately, the Mic's on the Media Mod are not actually a shotgun mic as GoPro advertises. Check out David Harry's video on the Media Mod and from others out there.
Realistically, whoever buys this is buying it for the 3.5mm microphone jack on the back :)
Which Aputure light is that?
Which external mic did we see on your video, i like the way it is attached , i might modify it tu use it with a rode one
I wasn't actually using the one that I showed in the video... it didn't have any battery...It was more for show than anything else :) The external microphone that I used in one of those tests was the Diety V.Lav Microphone
@@RedskullPro yes what was the one attached , showed? Thx
How can i order the mic?
Can you use the external mic and internal mic at the same time ???v
No
@@RedskullPro thanks bro
To answer the question this guy has avoided to answer, the mic in the thumbnail the Audio Technica PRO 24-CM
I didn't remember what model it was and didn't want to look for it to see :D
GoPro alone sounds way better than the Media Mod specially outside with wind
Yeah, doesn't sound bad at all by itself
Hello, great vide. I just got the Media Mod, but my GoPro Hero 8 Black won't let me change the audio settings from Stereo, even after doing the update. Do you know why by any chance? Have you come across this problem?
Try taking the Media Mod off and push it back in better...sometimes the usb isn't connected good enough
@@RedskullPro thanks for the reply. I tried that still not changed.
That sucks... you may one return that than...may be defective
did you take out the media mod casing when you’re testing the internal mic? thanks
yes I did, if you leave the media mod on you cannot use the internal microphone
Redskull oh..i see..thanks a lot!
Very helpful - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great info!!!
What settings do you use for the external mic? I have a GoPro 8 black and media mod and I can’t get the jack to work
I use the standard microphone setting. I tried 4 microphones with it and they all worked
Double check whether your mic is trrs or trs?
Thanks Alex!
Thanks for checking out the video!
Is the audio input of the mediamod stereo or mono?
Stereo
@@RedskullPro thanks!
can i use the gopro mic while it is inside the media mod?
No, you have to use the microphones in the media mod
I have the media mod and a Rode smartLav externaliser mic however I cannot seem to get it to work. Any ideas from your vast and professional experience would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Does the camera switch to the external microphone when you plug in the microphone?
Thanks for your reply. Yes, it switches on to “standard mic.” If I select this then I can see all the options and select “standard mic+” if I try to record the mic doesn’t work on any setting.
@redskull is there media mod for Gopro hero 5 black?
No
Well explained and well presented, thanks!
Thanks for checking out the video!
Bro what mic is that one on the gopro at the beginning
a old one...Audio Technica PRO24-CM
Is that HDMI 4K60p capable?
No
@@RedskullPro thx, and it sucks
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Quality review my friend 🙌🏽
Thanks for the visit
Good review. I will stick to shooting on a smartphone.
yeah, a phone with an external microphone does pretty good
What is the name of the mic seen in the thumbnail?
it's a old microphone that isn't made anymore
you I seen 1 of your video about a phone named zte axon m z999 so I wanted to order it but it says it can't ship to Hong Kong so if you still have that phone can you ship it to me pls
I'm keeping it
Not a bad price for such a capable device
Personally I feel that the GoPro 8 should have had a built in 3.5mm microphone jack; but at least this is available now
Thank You Bro good channel!
Thank you too!
Omg that 3.5mm jack is what I want more than anything lmao. I'm using the 7 with that big fat add on. But I'm not spending $100s to upgrade when mine's already working.
yeah, you would have to buy a new GoPro 8 ($399) and the Media Mod ($80)... almost $500 for a bit of convenience
Check out the VIJIM casing for it. It's pretty convenient. There's also the Equal Simple mirror now for vlogging.
Nice video...
Thnks for revew brother...
My pleasure
First version are always restricted.
Yeah
I was really looking forward to this media mod, but the lack of waterproofing makes it useless :(
yeah, it could have been done better
Great accent 👌🏼
Hi great vid
Hi, thanks for watching! Appreciated!
it's june 24 and media mod is still not available hahahaha!
no way! I pre-ordered this one 2 months before it was available
@@RedskullPro I tried looking and I haven't found one yet. where did you get yours?
@@RedskullPro I saw one in ebay with a whopping price of 124$ that will really hurt my wallet.
Directly from GoPro.com
Cool video

What a rip off this kit is becoming, I mean at this price point I'd definitely be looking elsewhere. Maybe stand alone audio recording or just get into a DSLR. Either way, I'm still happy with my Hero 7 black.
oh yeah, add everything to it and you are already looking at $600+ for an action camera
It's the biggest scam GoPro has ever pulled
GoPro using Apple-tactics of making all mods bespoke so you have to buy them and cannot use cheaper options. GP8 + Media + Light + Display is going to be expensive - plus most are using a mic as well and not direct media mod mic.
yeah, you are looking at $600+ for that setup
80.00 Big ones for a 3mm jack what a rip off GoPro.
Yup GoPro stealing our hard earned money for a 3mm Jack, that internal mic is not a shotgun go check Davis Harry’s channel, he pull this apart and there is nothing inside of the supposedly shot gun mic. I pre order this but just for the easy to use of the 3mm jack.GoPro just lying to us !
Honestly I didn't really care about the built in microphone..i just wanted a easier way to plug in my external microphone. This should have been $50
Hadir
no idea what that means...
@@RedskullPro it's means " I'm here watching your video " great video. Me like it.
The sound quality coming from ur mouth is not so great
The stupid comments we get from you aren't that great
Redskull sorry bro. No hard feelings. Just playing offensive meme stuff. ✌🏻
😁😁😁👍👍👍..nice
Thanks!
