I shoot video for a living and my main camera is a Panasonic GH5. I also travel a lot with my camera gear and have very limited space in my carry-on camera bag. So, I will be using the GoPro 8 as a backup or secondary camera. So for me, the most important feature on the media mod is the HDMI out for use with an external monitor such as my SmallHD or Ninja V. I always record audio using a separate audio recorder with a shotgun mic attached to it so the mic input on the media mod isn't as important unless I use the GoPro 8 as a secondary camera. Then I'll have another shotgun mic mounted on the GoPro media mod and use it's mic input.

I use the new gopro hero 8 black, it solved a problem with the media and light mods( I can now record excellent footage during the night with my motorcycle).

I have very strict rules driving and riding a motorcycle, these are as follows: Maintain silence Seat belt(s) on at all times( driver and passengers) Keep mobile phones mute or switched off Concentrate on driving. Have a second phone( use with Google maps, this only applies to the driver). Have enough rest before going out Have regular breaks if necessary. Do regular maintenance and look around for possible signs of wear and tear( brakes, tyres, suspension etc) Change the fluids( refer to owners manual) If your car does not have a navigation system do the following: Buy the car that has one or Buy a sat nav Maybe use your phone( Google maps) Also look for safety systems like ABS( avoids wheels from locking up durning critical life saving moves like emergency braking) Look for as many safety systems as possible, the more the better. Sit in the most comfortable position as possible( seats upright) Follow the speed limits( city speeds are below 50 mph and highway speeds are above 50 miles per hour) For more info, search on the Internet ( speed limits for your specific country) Keep an eye on the fuel gauge or look for( LOW FUEL). Warning in the instrument cluster. Don't tex and drive. Most accidents involve cars with no ABS... Have cruise control. I can't stress enough, follow these rules and you and your family will be safe.

It is what it is, and im STILL buying it. the cold shoe mounts, HDMI, USBC, and 3.5 all available and easily accessible on the gopro media mod clearly outweigh its bad shotgun Mich. In the end, those serious about their audio will continue to use an external Mich.... like we do for practically EVERY...CAMERA.... this is nothing new to us, but the media mod does simplify the process in which we use those external Mich's.

Great review but the rode is not a shotgun mic, it's a cardioid mic. I assume the media mod is too. "Cardioid mics have an upside-down heart-shaped pickup pattern - they capture mostly from the front, not so well from the sides, and reject sound at the rear. The shotgun microphone narrowly focuses on whatever is directly in front of it (even sounds at a distance), rejecting sounds from the sides and the rear."

There is a "Powered Mic+" option on the gopro that's adds 20db, but it's easier to adjust the gain on the mic. It's pretty Freaking awesome so far. However, lighting is my key issue.

The media mod makes you sound like you have a cold and are recording in a room without sound dampening (a bit of echo). Really not worth $80 unless you plan on getting the light and/or screen. The older microphone adapter for external mics is much less expensive and there are really good cases (like Ulanzi) that don't add too much bulk.

I’ve been doing some research and I’ve chosen the new GoPro Hero 8 SmallRig cage with the old GoPro 3.5mm adapter clamped on to the side. The SmallRig cage gives you a 52mm filter thread in front of the lens to add filters, like ND filters. I don’t know how I would use ND filters on this new GoPro media mod case. I need NDs for sure. I could post my setup once it’s ready.

The Gopro remote failed to fully connect, and literally 2 minutes ago, the Gopro iteself (Hero 9 Black with mediamod) would not turn off. Remove battery, now it wont turn on at all. I reviews a days worth of footage, and also the jack input stopped working about halfway in (I use the Rode wireless). So yeah...theres that. I think Im going to do a video where I run over the damn thing and crush it. I have a Hero 3 that still works, yet this new and improved 9 lasted 3 recording sessions, with overheating, random cutoffs..and now its dead. I was mugged. I was ripped off my this company.

As a follow up to my previous post. Just received the media mod primarily to see how the HDMI out would work with an external monitor and unfortunately...once you start recording with the Hero 8...there is a lot of latency between the GoPro 8 and the monitor. Once you stop recording...the latency disappears. That's a real bummer and may make using an external monitor while recording much more difficult.

They invested too much into making a "vlog" camera that needs a bunch of proprietary accessories that are underwhelming at best. Hopefully they go back to their roots with the next generation. Something like a hero 4 with USB-C and a microphone jack.
