The wind reduction actually sounds noisier than without it. The external microphone is best. The video is quite good. Cheers

Internal Mic sounds way better than with the media mod

[NickPeters-wulv]

Best review on the media mod I've found. Thanks!

[SimpliAlex]

Phenomenal video, everything I was looking for in one single video, thank you very much sir!

I came to the same conclusion, using a lav mic, and I’m using the Rose Wireless Go, makes the Media Mod really worth it, but it’s not cheap! Great review!

I enjoyed your video and got a lot out of it. I would be keen to see how it sounds with a small shotgun type of mic on there too. all the best.

Great video very informative I have the GoPro Hero 9 and I'm considering getting the media mod after watching this video, to me the microphone wasn't that much better than the internal microphone on a GoPro but it does offer other conveniences like charging, add an external mic, and so forth, which is really cool! Thanks for a video that people can understand and make their decisions objectively.

Your GO Pro 9 videos have made me want to buy it. Would love a front display on a GoPro. Hopefully it’s on sale on prime day.

I have the Volta grip. I just added the media mod and now the Volta goes dead when not using in a few hours.

External microphone is defenetly beter. Thank you, very useful tests!

[zlbooker]

very helpful, i'm staying with the go pro internal mic

From your tests, I get the feeling that a cheap camera rig for the hot shoe attachments and with an external recorder and a lavalier mic would produce a much better audio for half the price. Sync in post is easily done and can be automated by softwares like Adobe audition's plugin for Premiere.

The good point is that the internal mic is very good apart for the wind noise issue. Windjammers for those pinhole mics are cheap, even the Rycote version.

very helpful Alex thanks for the review

Thank you i've just buy a gopro 9 and mediamode but my problem is that the external mic doesn't work. I'v try 3 lavalier no one recorded my voice. May be the mediamode has troubles? I was looking if some settings was needed but you said just plug it and work. Thanks again for the video

Hello Redskull. I finally bought the media mod for my GoPro Hero 9 Black and I just watched this video review of the media mod. I noticed you talked about front mic and back mic, etc. But what if one plans to use a two mic set-up, where I have an old singer with a lav mic on, in front of the camera, and myself hooked up with a lav mic, but behind the camera? What is the best setting for a person with a mic in front of the camera and a person with a mic behind the camera, for a classic two-person but one off-camera interview set-up? Thank you.

Thanks for the effort you put into this video! I noticed when you were testing the External Mic - when you looked down, the clarity of your voice increased dramatically. I think you had it too far away from your mouth, and/or that particular mic is very directional. Not sure from the comments whether GoPro has actually updated the software so that the old external mic adapter can be

[DirtyTesla]

Sucks you need this for a 3.5mm jack... considering to upgrade to the 9 from my 7 but eh... what do you think?

[potatophil]

Great comparison, just like you did with the GP8! Imho, this proves (again) that it is still just another very expensive mic adapter. :(

Great vid Alex much appreciated buddy 👍💥
