I have been able to use the USB-C connection on the Media Mod for Hero9 to transfer files. You simply have to set the connection to MTP.... it is exactly like using the standard GoPro9 USB-C connection
I got a media mod almost immediately after buying my hero9 when it was available in the store and I had no problem using the USB c port to send videos to my computer.
Ya, it’s so weird that some have said it works, I still haven’t gotten it to work and have some other friends that haven’t gotten it to work. although I haven’t tried with the latest update. I’ll try it again soon
So there will be a future update for GoPro to support the regular audio adapter? or third party ones? I wish I could record my church audio mix into it
You can record the audio mic into the gopro with the media mod ... the old adapter is supposed to work on the next firmware. Hopefully soon, I’ll make a video out of it asap
Just got the 9 plus media mod kit. This was helpful showing the Rode Wirelss Go kit. I think that is exactly the ticket I need! Finally a built in mic jack! Also, the comment below about the MTP setting fixed the problem I had of not being able to see the camera when I plugged it into my pc. The one thig I dislike is not being able to use both front and back mics at the same time!
ya not being able to switch between mics is annoying, hopefully GoPro sees this and will fix it in a firmware update. but you are right the MTP setting did fix it. I still hate how annoying the base plate, this should have been their opportunity to put the screw thread at the bottom lol
That moment when you say “I don’t have a big channel so GoPro wouldn’t know I exist” to see a comment on a different video that GoPro directed them to your videos.
well that comment did come in after i made this video.. but i still highly doubt the R & D people watch .. maybe the help people because they have to google solutions 😂
I love your work, mate. I'm in Adelaide and I recently got the media mod. I like it but I felt like I wanted to learn more about the getting the most out of the mic, and I feel I got that out of your video. BTW big props to Whiskey for keeping up with your scooter!
Hey Danny, great round-up. I love that Wireless go I use mine with the mic on top of my M50; I kinda like the way it pics up a bit more of the environment. Looks like there are some stupid annoyances with the media mod. It actually looks like the usability person was on holiday the last two weeks of the design process and the guy from cost control took over. Thanks for the vid.
I like the wireless go. Like it’s super awesome but I don’t know why it just has kind of a “flat” sound. I still think the smart lav + but clipped on the gopro sounds the best. (IMO)
i want a power/video/audio cable that does what the media mod does without the useless onboard mic and thermally insulating plastic cage. i want to use an aluminum cage to dissipate heat and i want an external mic input with a video output for an external confidence monitor while filming. i would buy the cable from Gopro for the same price as the media mod. is there some proprietary chip inside the media mod that makes it so no one can make what im looking for? any solutions?
Hi bro Facing issue with GoPro 8 black..many times voice is not getting recorded in videos..just all sounds vipes out..this problem happens when I use it with mic adapter and external mic.. otherwise no such issue.. checked mic and mic adapter with GoPro 7 and 6..it was fine..means hero 8 is the issue..how to fix pls suggest
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.
I have been checking, but I hear they have an update coming out on the 17th, and hopefully that will include that mic adapter!! I check all the time lol
Cool review Danny..very informative, detailed and not boring 👌.. Hope to see your channel to grow to million of subscribers soon.. ..because of your video I'll buy the gopro 9 and the media mod..👌
Thanks jumper jay. Wow I couldn’t even imagine having 1 million subscribers lol would be awesome but maybe a bit overwhelming . But thanks, and hey, I am still very happy with that purchase! It’s worth it
Thanks really helpful video. I'm terrible and can't stop buying these! This was really helpful to decide. Great channel too will be checking out you other videos :)
Hi Fernando... thanks for stopping by. The best settings i would suggest for recording yourself on the guitar, check out this video, i think it would be very helpful 4k 60, hypersmooth OFF (put it on a tripod) sharpness low, ISO min 400 Iso Max 800, High Bitrate too... i hope that helps
media mod sounds worse then the built in mic. I've had a Hero 7 Black & I'm about to start motovlogging. So I've been debating if it's better to upgrade to the newly released Hero 11 & a media mod or just stick with my Hero 7 with all the ulanzi/mic adapter stuff
I don't like removing/replacing the door. There's a metal spring running most of the length of one side of the plastic C shaped connection. This spring is intended to relieve the expansion pressure on the plastic, but I believe not all pressure is relieved. The plastic _may_ wear out or break from it being expanded each time door is removed/replaced. Kinda like when you bend metal back & forth until it fails. I could be wrong about this, but I still hate removing/replacing the door. I wonder if Go Pro would send a new door @ no charge?
It kind of feels half baked and not really thought out. The built in mics sound pretty horrible. The clips preventing you from pulling it out quickly to swap batteries. You can't record front and back mics as a stereo pair... And using the media mod kind of ruins the whole water-sealed thing about the gopro in the first place... I was thinking of getting one to get a USB-port I can plug powerbanks to for long range recording. But I am now a bit hesitant as that would be the only advantage for me to getting one of these when I already bought a Zoom f2 lav-mic and I am quite happy with recording the sound separately and syncing in post. And I wouldn't really use the HDMI-port at all.
Ya. I feel like if the old 3.5mm works again I could be inclined to sell the media mod. Having said that, if I didn’t already have a mic and the old adapter I would spring for the media mod
Hi bro, love your video.. One question.. did anyone experience the gopro turn on/off itself after connect to media mod? It happens to me and quite disturbing. Appreciate any feedback
When I go to MODS in the gopro while I'm connecting my media mod on, I can't change the standard mic and it's faded !! Can you please tell me why or maybe my media mod is not working ?
I use a shorty Phillips head screw driver to tighten or loosen the thumb screws. They are just bolts with a Phillips head. That’s my GoPro hack of the day.
im actually going to make a deeper dive into it for tomorrows video, to see once and for all what's better!!! Thanks so much for your comment and kind words :D
On battery part of the video. You can actually charge it with usb c port so you don’t need to get to take the battery out(I know this old video no one going to respond to this but, it’s just my opinion.)
Yup. It sounds great too. I did a video recently reviewing some wireless headphones for playing music... and had it hooked straight into the gopro media mod
Great video. I just bought the Hero 9 and I’m not a huge fan of the audio quality coming out of the media mod mic. I have a Rode external mic, but the damn thing bobs into the shot all the time. I think the onboard mic is actually pretty good, I just purchased some adhesive dead cat material to paste on there, which I think may be the best option overall for a run-and-gun camera.
Hey! No problem! Glad you got to see your shout out :) it’s all fun around here ! But as far as the audio meter, would be nice to see it on the front , didn’t think of it, but it doesn’t show up there
haha that would be a dream to hit that silver play button... ive been making videos for almost 5 years now! But they used to be like all over the place with what I did on the channel, now I am more niched down and I think it helps the growth!! ... thanks for the comment and enjoy the media mod, it is worth it!
I liked my Media Mod until I lost my removable windscreen, because nobody sells a replacement, and GoPro said I I had to buy the whole media mod again to get the little foam piece. I’m done with GoPro!
oh wow ive never considered that happening! although I dont use the mic that comes with the media mod that much and always found the windscreen would be in the way trying to plug in things lol
Great content. Love your vids. :) Just want to share my current experience though. My brand new Media Mod just damaged my GoPro 10. GoPro Online Authorized reseller said that the port is not designed to charge nor be connected to an external power source - which is my sole purpose for buying it. Also, while recording with Mod, GoPro will shut down and will not turn on at all. Now, my GoPro also had trouble charging, not an issue before. It obviously fried the circuits. Should not have bought the GoPro Media Mod. Either the it is not fully compatible with GoPro 10 yet or my item is damaged... but I believe it's the latter. Now I am stuck. Though I got an approval for refund, there is no offical service center here in the Philippines. So much money invested on an accessory I could not use and damaged my unit.
Nice video. Great editing. Whisky is the real star of the show. I just picked up the hero 10 and have been considering this mod. Looks like you have a different lense on your camera.
if you dont need to use the hdmi out, you can just get the adapter, but then probably need a ulanzi case to hold that adapter... I would probably get the media mod and the wireless go can connect right to it easy
Hi Danny, just bought the Media Mod (seemed a better (cheaper?) option than investing in a Ulanzi metal case, Media apaptor etc). However my GoPro 9 does not recognise that it is connected to the Media Mod. I have rebooted the GoPro, taken it out of the Media Mod case over & over again, checked & confirmed i have latest software etc etc. It just wont recognise the Media Mod & when I check on my GoPro 9 Menu under Preferences/Mods the Media Mod shows up as N/A. Perhaps I just bought a faulty Media Mod? Any suggestions or advice appreciated please?
that is very odd. and what I assume would be super annoying! when its plugged in it should be showing up in that media mod and you can adjust which mic and stuff... so perhaps it is either a faulty media mod or gopro... my moneys on the media mod being faulty! luckily gopro are pretty good at fixing those problems!
Hi sir me again! Hmm have you ever experience when you use quick capture and your hero 9 plug the 3.5mm mic adapter then the video of you record has no sound at all, what are the possible solution regarding this matter. Thanks in adv from 🇵🇭
Hello again! always great to see you in the comments.. so i actually turned quick capture off of the 9.. mainly because when i had it on, on my 7, it would accidentally get pressed and my batteries would drain and stuff... the power on time is only 3 seconds. So i havent experienced that
Since October of 2020 I have been shooting (on and off) an hour plus long comedy film with 5 actor friends. I’m only using the GoPro 9 Hero Black with the media mod. I’m very happy with that setup. (30+ shoot days). I’ll let you see my results around the end of July 2021. Really like your channel. Oh, and I just got the Rode Go ii setup and will use that mostly while filming some documentaries I have coming up at comic cons. (I have one I shot in 2006 on my channel) I’m eager to try the mod with the Go ii, similar to your set up!
OK I am slightly disappointed you have your gear listed for your main set up but you don't have the gear list of the used in the video which is what I thought your gear was I clicked on links that didn't need to click on because I was looking for the GoPro stuff that you were showing. If your going to show gear List in your bio for the stuff to your showing.
Hmm. I see what you are saying. People used to comment all the time “what did you shoot this on, camera and mic etc” so that’s what I had as gear I used to make it. I think when I actually made this particular video there wasn’t a link to the media mod because it was new and sold out. I could probably have a look back and change that
I want to buy this thing for Moto vlogging , but after seeing the position of 3.5 mm port at the back, I am confused about connecting an external mic without touching the helmet , help me out , thanks in advance ❤️
I always wonder why not just shoot the footage and the just record a voice over with the gopro after . However if you are concerned and want the audio to work while you are on the Moto you can get a ulanzi case and 3.5 mm audio adapter
might be my headphones but you got buzzing in what ever mic you use at home, might have gain too high bad ground or something causing interference. Usually make a recording of silence for about 4 seconds and then listen at max volume to see what the base sound is.
thanks Brian. yea I could have had that buzz.. I think I have it figured out now but back then I was trying to find the best way for mics, thanks for the tip and reaching out. sometimes in my office in play back its hard to hear it too because I have some fans going or something!!
Bit late to the party here, but did you know about making a shortcut to the change microphone option? Should allow you to swap mic with a button press on the display.
ahhhh yes that is a good option. i think they added this to a firmware update after i made this video... because i never saw that as an option but that would make it very handy!!! would be nice to be able to change it while recording though
ya I think it would be so much better to just have it built in... (playing devils advocate) I can see why they would do it. They made an action camera and not everyone will need to plug in an external mic, so they made it as small and compact and then people can buy up the things they need instead of putting it all in one and paying for features you won't use ...
Aloha Danny!! I’m a rookie motovlogger and I have the media mod attached to go pro hero 9 and mounted to helmet when I ride. I also have the purple panda lavalier mic that connects to the back of the media mod but I’m still getting tons of noise picked up. Not sure if it’s from the media mod mics or the mics from the actual go pro. I have the raw audio off on go pro and shouldn’t the media mod mics automatically shut off once I plug lav mic in?? Hope this makes sense. Need some help sir. lol. I felt like I had it at one point and now just way too much noise over my audio from lav mic. Mahalo in advance sir.
aloha to you Harley!!! Threw some support your way! So one thing im wondering.. I notice the purple panda mic is TRRS (3 black lines) do you have the adapter the makes it TRS (2 black lines) ... so basically you plug into the adapter and the adapter plugs into the media mod. So if you haven't done that, perhaps the media mod doesn't think anything is plugged in... if you have done that maybe its the lav rubbing up on fabric or your helmet, you might need thicker windscreen covers for the lav?
Right on for the super quick reply bro. Appreciate you. Yeah so the audio from my lav mic is still picking up my voice but also picking up everything else. So irritating. Lol. There’s a video I posted titled breaking bread crew and it’s horrible. If I have time and I know ur busy so no rush but u will be able to tell what I’m talking about. Thanks so much man. Seriously appreciate you. 🤙🏾
Great video. I was wondering if you could hook a battery bank through the media mod so you can have charging going on while you use the camera to extend battery life for longer recordings like to record a concert set. Thank You!!
Hi Virginia Wolf! soooo you can charge but unfortunately it stops the charging (from all the testing Ive done) when it is recording. Im hoping that it gets fixed with a firmware update... but the battery when I tested it out lasted between 1:45 and 2hrs long... so might be enough to stop and change batteries real quick?
Hi, this vid is almost a year. I just bought a Hero 10. I presume the Hero 9 mod is compatible as well? Also, we have the same aim as Virginia, I want to record indefinitely. I presume you may have already tried this, but can you confirm please: try removing the battery before connecting it to the mod, then connect to an external power source. Was it able to charge indefinitely? To sum up, my reasons for buying a mod (though it is pricey) is to: 1. Protect my Go Pro from wearing out the ports due to frequent connection and disconnection. This is a common issue that could be encountered when using ports of electronics. 2. Similar to above, I want to keep the good integrity of the battery door. I would presume that frequent open-close action may cause it to loosen and let water in, in the future. 3. For indefinite charging (in case my tip works. I really appreciate it if you can confirm it does work). Thank you and Happy New Year!!! ^^,
I tried to cheap out and go the mic adapter route but at the end there is so much bulk I have to deal with. The mod seems easier. Also the ulanzi plastic case does not allow the max mod either. Total PITA.
Ya, there are other cages from ulanzi that would work with the Max lens, but I agree that sometimes the media mod just works easier... but that’s bottom part irritates me lol
@@DannyBlack you're a superstar. Not found my niche on here yet with this one. I have a soccer related channel and found myself uploading content on there that was relevant, so I figured start up a second channel and enjoy the stuff that goes on it. Looking forward to watching you grow dude 👍
i like the adapter and case over the media mod as far as convenience... but the media mod is probably more reliable ( i havent had any problems with the adapter) but the media mod also shows the audio meters which can be helpful.
Hey bro, love your videos. Quick question, using the GoPro HERO 10 for mortgage and real estate videos. Thinking of getting the Max Lens mod and + The Media Mod... Thoughts?

I have been able to use the USB-C connection on the Media Mod for Hero9 to transfer files. You simply have to set the connection to MTP.... it is exactly like using the standard GoPro9 USB-C connection
Aw thanks for that!!! I’ll pin this. That makes that a lot easier .
Thank you for this! I was just having USB problems with my new media mod yesterday LOL
Wow thanks for this.. I'll try this
how to set the connection to MTP? sorry i don't know anything about computers/ technology thanks
In the settings, you can actually make media mod a button on the home screen, so you can change front/back
Oh hey! Thanks so much for that tip! I will check that out
I got a media mod almost immediately after buying my hero9 when it was available in the store and I had no problem using the USB c port to send videos to my computer.

@@DannyBlack got it maybe I will hold on , it could be months or years for the firmware update right ?
So if I purchase the media mod, I should be able to use this with the ATEM MINI PRO?!? 🤔
yes it would go hdmi out and into the ATEM MINI
Is the 3.5mm jack powered?
i tested it out... and it seems to be powered... i plugged a few different mics in and it seems to power the mic
@@DannyBlack thanks. Very good information.
Nice video, Danny. Thanks for sharing!

Also, while recording with Mod, GoPro will shut down and will not turn on at all. Now, my GoPro also had trouble charging, not an issue before. It obviously fried the circuits. Should not have bought the GoPro Media Mod. Either the it is not fully compatible with GoPro 10 yet or my item is damaged... but I believe it's the latter.
Now I am stuck. Though I got an approval for refund, there is no offical service center here in the Philippines. So much money invested on an accessory I could not use and damaged my unit.
Sorry to hear about your unit, so this means that the media mod cannot be used plugged in?
I'm like "that park looks familiar..." oh yeah, Kingfisher Park where my kids play (or train) soccer 😄
Haha yup!!! You got it :)
While in the Media Mod, can the whole thing be set on a tripod?
Thanks for the video! It did help me a lot to decide whether to buy it or not
Media mod not necessarily
Like the fact I don't have to tote the black brick for audio. The Media mode makes it worth it for just the audio jack.
absolutely agree!
Nice video. Great editing. Whisky is the real star of the show. I just picked up the hero 10 and have been considering this mod. Looks like you have a different lense on your camera.
Why doesn’t anyone offer rear tempered glass protector that is compatible with hero 9 media mod?
Check out this video .. they offer tempered glass in this package 💥GOPRO ACCESSORY MOTHER-LOAD 🙊 You WONT believe this HSU deal!
Wait. Where is Danny - tech lord of the robes?
Lol future Danny didn’t need to chime in on this one 😂😂
@@DannyBlack you could so do the Obi-Wan Dannyobi look 😂
Does this work with the Lens Mod????
Just asking ... Do You join TubeBuddy? ... is it Worth join .. Pls do video about this Tube Buddy
I love that idea. I don’t use it, I have a friend that does and he loves it... I’ll look into it and make something about it
What we need to buy, adapter or media mode ,
I am buying, GoPro 9 & wireless go
if you dont need to use the hdmi out, you can just get the adapter, but then probably need a ulanzi case to hold that adapter... I would probably get the media mod and the wireless go can connect right to it easy
Hi Danny, just bought the Media Mod (seemed a better (cheaper?) option than investing in a Ulanzi metal case, Media apaptor etc). However my GoPro 9 does not recognise that it is connected to the Media Mod. I have rebooted the GoPro, taken it out of the Media Mod case over & over again, checked & confirmed i have latest software etc etc. It just wont recognise the Media Mod & when I check on my GoPro 9 Menu under Preferences/Mods the Media Mod shows up as N/A. Perhaps I just bought a faulty Media Mod? Any suggestions or advice appreciated please?
that is very odd. and what I assume would be super annoying! when its plugged in it should be showing up in that media mod and you can adjust which mic and stuff... so perhaps it is either a faulty media mod or gopro... my moneys on the media mod being faulty! luckily gopro are pretty good at fixing those problems!
Very geniune review ❤️
I thought you were gonna fall off the scooter and get some go pro action shots lol - but thank you for the mike reviews!
Haha next time!!! Just gotta make sure I pay my insurance. 😂
Great Video , thank you
Hi sir me again! Hmm have you ever experience when you use quick capture and your hero 9 plug the 3.5mm mic adapter then the video of you record has no sound at all, what are the possible solution regarding this matter. Thanks in adv from 🇵🇭
Hello again! always great to see you in the comments.. so i actually turned quick capture off of the 9.. mainly because when i had it on, on my 7, it would accidentally get pressed and my batteries would drain and stuff... the power on time is only 3 seconds. So i havent experienced that
Since October of 2020 I have been shooting (on and off) an hour plus long comedy film with 5 actor friends. I’m only using the GoPro 9 Hero Black with the media mod. I’m very happy with that setup. (30+ shoot days). I’ll let you see my results around the end of July 2021. Really like your channel. Oh, and I just got the Rode Go ii setup and will use that mostly while filming some documentaries I have coming up at comic cons. (I have one I shot in 2006 on my channel) I’m eager to try the mod with the Go ii, similar to your set up!
Which one is best for vlogging, adaptor or Media, GoPro 9
if you are using the wireless go, i would say yes to the media mod.
OK I am slightly disappointed you have your gear listed for your main set up but you don't have the gear list of the used in the video which is what I thought your gear was I clicked on links that didn't need to click on because I was looking for the GoPro stuff that you were showing. If your going to show gear List in your bio for the stuff to your showing.
Hmm. I see what you are saying. People used to comment all the time “what did you shoot this on, camera and mic etc” so that’s what I had as gear I used to make it. I think when I actually made this particular video there wasn’t a link to the media mod because it was new and sold out. I could probably have a look back and change that
I want to buy this thing for Moto vlogging , but after seeing the position of 3.5 mm port at the back, I am confused about connecting an external mic without touching the helmet , help me out , thanks in advance ❤️
I always wonder why not just shoot the footage and the just record a voice over with the gopro after . However if you are concerned and want the audio to work while you are on the Moto you can get a ulanzi case and 3.5 mm audio adapter
Great video bro 👍
Are you out of your mind? You shower a usb mini port and mentioned as hdmi port. Then you showed a USB adapter and again mentioned it as hdmi. Really?
Where did I say that? Can you time stamp when? I don’t remember doing it.. but if I did oh well, I guess I’m out of my mind 😂
might be my headphones but you got buzzing in what ever mic you use at home, might have gain too high bad ground or something causing interference. Usually make a recording of silence for about 4 seconds and then listen at max volume to see what the base sound is.
thanks Brian. yea I could have had that buzz.. I think I have it figured out now but back then I was trying to find the best way for mics, thanks for the tip and reaching out. sometimes in my office in play back its hard to hear it too because I have some fans going or something!!
Bit late to the party here, but did you know about making a shortcut to the change microphone option? Should allow you to swap mic with a button press on the display.
ahhhh yes that is a good option. i think they added this to a firmware update after i made this video... because i never saw that as an option but that would make it very handy!!! would be nice to be able to change it while recording though
why arent there any universal microphone adapters yet? I dont like that big block for the Hero9, and neither the media mod.
ya I think it would be so much better to just have it built in... (playing devils advocate) I can see why they would do it. They made an action camera and not everyone will need to plug in an external mic, so they made it as small and compact and then people can buy up the things they need instead of putting it all in one and paying for features you won't use ...
Aloha Danny!! I’m a rookie motovlogger and I have the media mod attached to go pro hero 9 and mounted to helmet when I ride. I also have the purple panda lavalier mic that connects to the back of the media mod but I’m still getting tons of noise picked up. Not sure if it’s from the media mod mics or the mics from the actual go pro. I have the raw audio off on go pro and shouldn’t the media mod mics automatically shut off once I plug lav mic in?? Hope this makes sense. Need some help sir. lol. I felt like I had it at one point and now just way too much noise over my audio from lav mic. Mahalo in advance sir.
aloha to you Harley!!! Threw some support your way! So one thing im wondering.. I notice the purple panda mic is TRRS (3 black lines) do you have the adapter the makes it TRS (2 black lines) ... so basically you plug into the adapter and the adapter plugs into the media mod. So if you haven't done that, perhaps the media mod doesn't think anything is plugged in... if you have done that maybe its the lav rubbing up on fabric or your helmet, you might need thicker windscreen covers for the lav?
Right on for the super quick reply bro. Appreciate you. Yeah so the audio from my lav mic is still picking up my voice but also picking up everything else. So irritating. Lol. There’s a video I posted titled breaking bread crew and it’s horrible. If I have time and I know ur busy so no rush but u will be able to tell what I’m talking about. Thanks so much man. Seriously appreciate you. 🤙🏾
I appreciate the effort you've gone to to fully explain the mod. Thank you.
Honestly, I really really appreciate your comment! Thanks so much! 👍👍👍👍
Great video. I was wondering if you could hook a battery bank through the media mod so you can have charging going on while you use the camera to extend battery life for longer recordings like to record a concert set. Thank You!!
Hi Virginia Wolf! soooo you can charge but unfortunately it stops the charging (from all the testing Ive done) when it is recording. Im hoping that it gets fixed with a firmware update... but the battery when I tested it out lasted between 1:45 and 2hrs long... so might be enough to stop and change batteries real quick?
Hi, this vid is almost a year. I just bought a Hero 10. I presume the Hero 9 mod is compatible as well?
Also, we have the same aim as Virginia, I want to record indefinitely. I presume you may have already tried this, but can you confirm please: try removing the battery before connecting it to the mod, then connect to an external power source. Was it able to charge indefinitely?
To sum up, my reasons for buying a mod (though it is pricey) is to:
1. Protect my Go Pro from wearing out the ports due to frequent connection and disconnection. This is a common issue that could be encountered when using ports of electronics.
2. Similar to above, I want to keep the good integrity of the battery door. I would presume that frequent open-close action may cause it to loosen and let water in, in the future.
3. For indefinite charging (in case my tip works. I really appreciate it if you can confirm it does work).
Thank you and Happy New Year!!! ^^,
I tried to cheap out and go the mic adapter route but at the end there is so much bulk I have to deal with. The mod seems easier. Also the ulanzi plastic case does not allow the max mod either. Total PITA.
Ya, there are other cages from ulanzi that would work with the Max lens, but I agree that sometimes the media mod just works easier... but that’s bottom part irritates me lol
Yes Danny. I've just come across you channel through this vid. You deserve more views and subs dude, keeping working hard and you'll smash it on here.
hey thanks so much mark... super nice compliment I really appreciate it! keep up the awesome work on your channel... Ill give some support
@@DannyBlack you're a superstar. Not found my niche on here yet with this one. I have a soccer related channel and found myself uploading content on there that was relevant, so I figured start up a second channel and enjoy the stuff that goes on it. Looking forward to watching you grow dude 👍
Hey..
My 3.5 mm mic is not working with hero9 media mod..any idea??
Do you have the latest firmware update?? Connect gopro to your phone app and make sure you update it and it should work
Road wireless go with media mode or adapter, which is the best
i like the adapter and case over the media mod as far as convenience... but the media mod is probably more reliable ( i havent had any problems with the adapter) but the media mod also shows the audio meters which can be helpful.
Your the best man
Love it, I don’t want to get it, I don’t need to get it, I got it!!! Sounds like me’
Haha 😆 thanks for the comment. I’m glad I’m not the only one like this
Thanks for the comprehensive tests!
Hey bro, love your videos. Quick question, using the GoPro HERO 10 for mortgage and real estate videos. Thinking of getting the Max Lens mod and + The Media Mod... Thoughts?
I see... It’s kinda good, but we need to wait for some software updates 🤔
brilliant, as usual
The image stabilization is amazing!
