The deadcat ... the mounting knob has grooves in it that fit the cord. Pull the deadcat up out of the frame, snap the cord into a groove & VIOLA!! No deadcat issues at all. Peace.

To everyone complaining about the audio quality from the front microphone of the media mod: THIS IS SO IT WILL WORK IN WINDY ENVIRONMENTS. It is because they have put a high pass/low cut filter on it. This will remove lower frequencies, which is done because this is where wind buffeting will ruin the audio. Notice how he makes a comparison on the beach: the built-in microphone is useless in the wind, but the mod's front microphone works beautifully in the wind. This is basically the oldest trick in the book when it comes to professional audio recording. It makes a lot of sense to do this.

@@JorgeAcostaPesca For that matter, if it were able to pop up a message, then they could take it a step further and just let the GoPro turn it off automatically whenever the HDMI is in use. Taking it another bit further, it could check if stabilization is on or off, make sure it's of for HDMI, then restore stabilization to its previous setting when HDMI disconnects. One way or another, it would be good if GoPro fixes this with a firmware update.

That tip about the baseplace changing sides is really good information. They most likely changed it because it's nearly impossible to open the battery door when mounted. The door swings into the the thumb screw. Mounted on the the other side, that wouldn't happen. I've been getting frustrated with my H8 because of this but it's good to know there's a solution. I'll have to pay attention to which side the screw is on for my mounts.

Yeah, I feel like I'd have been super happy with a $49 Media Mod sans-the shotgun mic parts. That'd have thinned it up slightly, and would have been a wash price-wise between the cost of a typical USB-C to 3.5mm adapter + external frame case for cold-shoes. Or, I suppose just stick a 3.5mm port on there straight-up.

The 'Powered mic' selection is for condenser mics not for the Rode. The Rode Wireless is a dynamic mic, yes it has to be powered (because it's wireless) but it's not powered in the sense that a condenser mic is. The voltage on the Rode is less than 5 v, a real 'powered mic' uses a much higher voltage (24 to 48). The GoPro should be set to standard mic when using the Rode wireless.

Sorry but.... wtf was GoPro thinking with this? Every single video I've seen of it so far, just reveals how HORRID the microphone quality is.... like.... the GoPro by itself was legit just better hands down. When the audio sample stuff first started, and I heard the audio, I honestly went "wow, that sounds insanely good computer to all the other Media Mod videos I've seen!" and then I read the text at the bottom and realized it was the stock GoPro mics................ why release a 'Media Mod' that doesn't actually do anything good? They really should have just released the 'case' which plugged into the USB port, and at the verrrrrrrrry top of the case, where the Cold Shoe is, simply have a tiny little raised bump or a cut out or something, which housed the 3.5mm jack.... make it as slim and stream lined as possible! That way no matter what sort of situation you are in, an external mic could be plugged in no problem. No one would have to deal with a "well it sticks out straight from the back so now i can't mount the camera on the front of my helmet cause it just doesn't fit" and no one would have to deal with "well it sticks out really far from the side of the camera so now I gotta worry about it snagging on stuff".... OH! WAIT! BETTER YET!......... just fucking let ANY FREAKING USB TYPE C ADAPTER WORK!.... Its honestly not that difficult of a thing to do... the freaking Type C jack has contacts SPECIFICALLY for that! Just let the freaking audio be an analog input and PRESTO DONE!... But nah, GoPro just wants everyone's wallet... That's all they really care about. Tiny, almost meaningless updates to their hardware, but still expecting a huge price tag....... smh

Answers my questions for sure. I wanted it to run and gun trade shows and car races, as well as random events with good light. Gopro gets pretty nasty as the light goes away, or in a scenario like CES where the trade show floor is darker. For out and about vlogging, with a lav...seems reliable and simple with a good stabilized picture and is mega compact and light. Hero8's smooth stabilized image is definitely a big plus for it.

Only got the Media mod for 2 things. External Mic Jack and the ability to use an external power source on the external USB-C(which I noticed you didn't mention in this video). I primarily use my Hero8(with 512GB memory card) as a Dash Cam(I drive a large delivery truck for a living) or to share my e-Bike rides with Friends and Family. I need that extended run time and the ability to run an external wireless lav Mic like you do here.

Great review Ray. I picked up the Shure MV88+. I think it is better than the videomicro.

Nicely done, but if I understand you correctly, you said that the 'stereo' setting was designed to activate the front and rear mics simultaneously. Surely this isn't stereo. I would suggest that one chooses stereo if the 3.5mm jack input is used for a stereo mic (att. to the top cold shoe). I've yet to try out my existing, quality Sony stereo mic - as I haven't got the shoe adaptor, but I wonder if a line level attenuator cable LN2Mic-ZoomMH4N will improve the sound quality. We'll see in a few days when I get the shoe adaptor!

That was helpful. i bought the Hero 8 for my Videos - small Camera, great stabilisation and 4K! All in my pocket. i decided for GoPro instead for the Osmo-Action (Rock-Steady is great, also) because of the 3,5mm Plug. i had to wait until March 2020 to receive this Mod but this setup is great! The next is going to be the Rode Wireless Go - then, as you say, the setup is great! Thank you for the video - and sorry for my german-english :D

I just want to try it for easy use. Quality can be tweaked in editing. Looking into the Mic Mod, light, and screen for traveling.

I see tons of GoPro users use rode mics. Rode should just make their own media mod for for the GoPro, the exact same thing but will work for their wireless lav setup. I always thought GoPro themselves should have done their own wireless audio but instead we got the pointless portrait mode when they tried to sell to the vlogging community. . .

So it's a bit risky if I'm using media mode on rainy day right?
