Would love to see the lens mod first! Want to know if it’s worth it for MTB POV. Honestly, GoPro is still trying to do too much with these Mods. I would prefer the take a page from Sony and spend some time really polishing a prosumer level camera. Give me audio that’s at least as good as the hero 4, and offer higher bitrate/depth settings for greater flexibility in post. Also, polish the app and firmware. Why does every major GoPro update have horrible bugs? The GP9 takes 2-3 taps to select anything... Alright, I’m done. 😅
@Dcrainmaker

Yup, so far the lens mod is looking pretty solid. I agree that they need to find a balance with the Mods. My thinking is if they're gonna do prosumerish type mods - then they should include features that target that range. Like you said, higher bitrate type options would be great. Heck, can you imagine a (payable) software mod you could update that would give you something like Prores RAW support or such?

Not sure if anybody mentioned this but you can control the display with the actual GoPro touchscreen. The display might be off but the touch screen still works. Also no need to flip the screen up and down to see what’s going on, just a simple tap on the display button switches the display screen to the GoPro and back. So it’s not all too bad. I use the Hero 8

I agree with everything said here.....but there is one plus not mentioned I think. That is the display mod continues to work and show you the action once the camera is actually recording. The native display on the back of the GoPro shuts down during recording. I have missed this ability ever since GoPro disabled the native display during recording some time ago. So, a plus of some utility to me.

Ugg, at 7:35 we learn the front-facing display DISABLES the rear-facing display... of course meaning you lose access to the GP touch screen when the front display is on (at least all you need to do is power it off, not remove the HDMI cable). Anyway, it's a game stopper for many (and yes I realize from an engineering perspective the processor can't handle two video displays). But for the surprisingly cheap price, it's probably worth it for occasional use on the GP8. Superview Mod next please - unless the GP9 Media Mod has significant functionality or audio quality differences from the GP8 version.

Thank you for this review. I am SO underwhelmed by the Hero 9 at the moment. There are problems with pixels, audio adapter, lock ups, randomly turning off recording, let alone the GoPro 'makeup' look on faces and the poor low light performance. Also, the detail goes a bit 'water colour' like with the stabilisation on. So many problems that I feel GoPro released it too soon for their own good. This screen is another example of their lack of attention to detail. So I think they may be playing some kind of numbers game with sales. Add lots of fancy features at the expense of other things so as long as the numbers selling are higher than the returns, they're doing ok. This recent camera has really got me going. So much that I don't think I should make a video about it because we're talking about a camera that is near enough £500 with a media mod, currently that is essential if you want an external mic. I'm really disappointed with them. They've lost me as a future customer but I think they're more intent on pulling in new customers and don't mind the returns, as long as loads of GoPros are going out the door.

Yeah, I think it's tough. Ignoring the pixel issues some are seeing, albeit luckily not me, (and the sunrise thing not working for me), my Hero 9's have generally even working pretty much perfectly for about a month now. I don't get why they've apparently disabled the previous mic adapter, or for that matter, why we need a giant media mod when Insta360/DJI/etc have all managed just fine with a tiny USB-C sized adapter.

Let's face it, it's a big ball drop. GoPro already made a display "mod" if you will with the display bacpack. This was available for the Hero 3 and 4 (and worked somewhat on the Hero 2 even). It was a very bright, nice display and guess what? It was also touch screen and you could view the camera menu's while recording. So to go "backwards" with the display mod is just bizarre. If anything, they released something as quick as possible just to avoid a potential lawsuit. There's just no way to say it nicely, but this is just a bad bad product.

I've done some earlier bits on it. While I find it produces good footage in a static environment, I don't find the stabilization as good as the GoPro Hero 9 (even after running it through the desktop software). And ultimately my challenge with it is that it's just cumbersome to use, both from a on-camera standpoint and a desktop/smartphone app standpoint. I feel like it's a constant tug of war with the software. The thing is, that if we set aside that, as noted - it produces good footage. But I tend to fall in the camp of "I just want things to work", and there's just too many steps most of the time for that.

*My first time venture into GoPro Camera Land just over a Year ago has LEFT A VERY SOUR TASTE IN MY MOUTH !!! I consider myself an experienced camera operator, working professionally in the Canadian Video Production Industry for over 30 years. GoPro has been developping a growing acceptance in the broadcast TV industry (Especially since the burgeoning days of reality Television). It finally became time where I needed to own at least one of them, so I purchased the Hero 8. I was initially pleased with the overall image quality and used mine for some mission critical night time-lapse work on location in the remote Western Canadian Wilderness. It became necessary for the camera to also perform secondy duty recording some audio on location. The easiest way to get good audio was to plug in an external wireless Mic receiver (Rhode Wireless Go) straight into the camera using the heavily announced and promoted by GoPro "Media Mod." Well, we couldn't get the damn thing in Canada ! We called around and waited, and waited, and we also discovered we needed the "Video Mod" screen, and we still can't get that in Canada, with the "Media Mod" finally appearing on Amazon Canada's Website last month after a year of waiting ! We ended up using our Hero 8 for one time-lapse shot, and then gave up on it and put it back in its box until GoPro fixed a whole lot of things. Out of necessity we went another way for our location audio requirements, and I hope to catch up with FINALLY picking up essential accessories such as the Media Mod and the Video Mod and maybe even the little Light Mod to use as a backup. I am PISSED OFF at this company's attitude ! GoPro is only interested in the NEXT CUSTOMER ! We have TOTAL BUYER'S REMORSE !! GoPro FAILED TO DELIVER!!!*

Yes, you can. Though, I feel like that will usually quite considerably longer turning off the display/etc... given how finicky the GoPro phone app can be sometimes.

maugalop , good solution, but that drains the battery faster though. Give and take. 😔

U can tap the power button and it then swaps between the display mod and the back screen on the GoPro

Sure, by turning it off. Which doesn’t really make it any cleaner.

Right, but the display screen isn’t showing a picture anymore. So from a usability standpoint it’s odd. So if you’re on a shorty stick or such (likely), and trying to quickly swing around to show what you’re filming, it won’t show both. I agree it’s an option, but it’s not an ideal one.

The only thing this would be good for is framing low shots where your above the camera and can't see front or back screen like in skateboarding

If plugging a larger LCD monitor into the media mod, will the front LCD screen also go back to a text display?

Hey! I’m trying to make YT videos for my first. I have a go pro 8 from 2019 when I was vacationing. I don’t know if this display mod is enough for me to just have to see myself while I film. Or invest in either the Sony a5100 or Sony zv1 (although ppl say to just stick with go pro because of the not so wide lens of the 2) 😩 I don’t which one to go with

Hero 9 media mod + display costs $200 in total. The max lens mod is the best accessory for 9

I'm returning the Hero9 and going back to my 8. I'm unable to change any of the settings in the shooting presets (I tap the pencil icon, but then none of the settings like resolution, iso, etc are changeable, the screen just doesn't respond), plus mine is REALLY overexposing everything to the point where the footage is unusable (and this is with auto shutter speed, ISO 100-1600, etc). Firmware update didn't change anything. Kind of a bummer, but I'm fine with the 8.

That's super odd. Have you tried a full/hard reset? Definitely sounds like something is wonk, as obviously that's not the norm.

@@Dcrainmaker Yea, I've really tried everything including a full reset, firmware update, I'm just hoping there's just something wrong with the one I got. For the over-exposure, here's a screenshot from my ride, and again this is with -.5 exposure dialed in (was able to change preset settings for the GoPro app on my phone) - www.p1images.com/Will/Hero9-screenshot.png
