GoPro Hero 8 "Media Mod" Mic Test: Front Mic vs Back Mic vs Onboard Mic

The GoPro Hero 8 Black Media mod comes with a shotgun mic which you can use the front or back mic. I compare the mic quality on both the front and back of the media mod as well as the onboard mic of the GoPro Hero 8 Black. I also show you how to insert and eject the gopro hero 8 from the media mod as well as how to choose front or back mic. Any questions just ask.

I don’t really hear a difference between the media mod and audio straight from the GoPro

[@TampaTec]

Looks like good quality, much better than the older GoPros.

[@maryetdave]

Thanks man, good review

[@googleuser9266]

GREAT VIDEO!!

[@ventureall-terrain2297]

GREAT REVIEW!

[@nickinchina2552]

Oh man, i think i need to upgrade to a gopro 8....quality video as always bud.

[@jinanprojects]

This video is really helpful.

[@Inkieto92]

Good test!

[@GLOBIK]

Damn! This media mod sounds really decent. I'd get it.

[@LittleguyBigReviews]

I think I like it better with the media mod myself 🤙

[@jonahkaiguam]

There was a noticeable different in the testing. The on-board mic sounded a lot clearer when point the camera at you...something goes for the shotgun mics on the media mod. Its obvious the clarity would go up when the mic is facing toward you. I'd get this accessory because a lot of the times I film whats in front of me (hero 5 black) and when I talk I sound distant from the camera even if its only half an arm length away....yet when I face the camera toward me I get better audio for what the on-board can pic up. Definitely considering upgrading my old hero5 to the hero9

[@tvcharleytv8316]

nice video

[@garyztravels189]

can you turn on both mic front and back at the same time

[@ScubaChris]

I'm very interested in getting this. Are the external mics waterproof from rain? Thanks!

[@AlexAbsolute]

good video, I'd been wondering about the media mod, tbh i think no media mod and a shotgun mic like a rode will be better

[@janhvizdos]

Nice, stereo mod on media mod is front and back mic at the same time?

[@parapigeon4135]

Is there a way to use an external mic and the standard interval mic at the same time. ?? On a 7 black

[@GardensJune2022]

I like to steri mic because I sometime use both front and back camera. What do you do think?

[@FinalEvangelist]

When speaking from the front, the built in sounded better. This would probably only be with it for using your own external mic having the top mount.

[@megahozer13]

Man I kept wondering why it sounded like crap this was useful

[@charlieauer1672]

thank you for the video. On the media mod, there appears to be a USB-C power connection - does this power the camera? Reason I ask - I purchased the Ulanzi G8-7 replacement door for the battery compartment, so that I could have camera continuously connected to a power source rather than changing batteries continuously. But looking at the media mod, it appears to cover up the USB-C charging connection on the side of the camera. Was the media mod designed with this in mind, so that it could still be used with a continuous connection to power source?

[@lany_07gaming]

Gopro hero 8 is very nice & cool.👍💖

[@Berrypancakes229]

So far the GoPro 8 the best compare to the other GoPro’s

[@dronefilmsgermany]

would u recommend it for vlogging?

[@shashi4x]

Media mod is available for Hero 5..? (I have only hero5)

[@ILuvTrading]

This mod fits only GoPro 8

[@jeansmohammed4451]

Where did you get the go pro hero 8 I really want one couldn't you send a link please Great video btw

[@ILuvTrading]

It was preordered from GoPro.com.

[@jeansmohammed4451]

iLuvTrading oh thanks it's water proof isn't it?

[@jeansmohammed4451]

There was a massive difference at 4:18 to 4:27 when you flipped the go pro And I think you could use the shotgun regular mic than the media mod

[@LittleguyBigReviews]

Jeans Mohammed I agree with you

[@CommanderAdamaNJ]

My media mod mics stopped working suddenly. If I access the menu is says its on the rear mic but I can't change the setting, its grayed out? Any ideas?

[@honestreview9019]

Can’t we get a similar media mod for hero 7 black

[@RyngKatBaDPhiTogetherwithYou]

3:00 I hit subscribe 😁 You are awesome.

[@ridewithregan9703]

Can the Shure MV88+ mic connect to the media mod?

[@ILuvTrading]

I don’t have that mic but if it has a 3.5mm mic jack then it should work no problem.

[@juicystevens9920]

Hey man just wondering if you could send me some fidget spinners since you have so many!!

[@NicolaeDobra]

You did not show the stereo mode.

[@nelsoncreekfarm]

Another KZbinr (David Harry) disassembled one of those Media Mods and sadly discovered that the mic's aren't actually "Shot Gun" style microphones. We have been ripped off.

[@joshuarichard6827]

Theyre omnidirectional arent they?

[@The_FireSword]

did you guys notice that he didnt test sterio mode. it's because it's crap.

[@RageStudios]
