GOPRO MEDIA MOD AUDIO TESTS ... Wish I would've upgraded sooner!

[@teamcoff]

Really solid video Dan! Going to be looking into all of this, thanks for sharing!

Hey you guys, thank you very much for the kind words. I know you're working off an older model gopro, so here's the adapter that you can use for those older models: amzn.to/2Fy0NXF I haven't used this one, but heard good things... and thinking if you plug a lav mic into this, you'll greatly improve your gopro audio. BTW, I've got a lot of catching up to do on people's videos, including yours. We had a family tragedy last month, and life just sorta stopped. It's been the toughest month of my life, but we are finally starting to feel a little bit back to normal (some days anyways) and look forward to catching up on all your adventures. Thanks as always for the channel support, dan

I keep putting off getting the external mic, but this review has convinced me to get it done. Great job

[@WhatMyLensSees]

I held off for a long time thinking it’d be too much of a hassle. But it’s really not that bad, and now I actually look forward to reviewing my GoPro footage because it actually sounds half decent. There’s also a cheaper gopro adapter out there (think $50) that simply allows you to add an external mic and can work with older models of GoPro. Always appreciate the comment and can’t wait to see the first video with the external mic! Thanks as always Wayne

that'is really good information

[@WhatMyLensSees]

Thanks Kumbo! I'm such a sucker for those details ... and truly amazed at what a cheap external mic can do for overall audio quality. Fun experiment and glad I could share it with you and the rest of the KZbin community!

Very informative as I am looking into getting a GoPro. How do you mount your camera since there does not appear to be any mount like there is on the just the camera? Also, I heard that it is not waterproof with the Mod, is that correct?

[@WhatMyLensSees]

So, I ordered a chest mount from Amazon that works really well. Here's the amazon link if you need more details: amzn.to/3jp4Qnm This should work with any model gopro and I currently use my GoPro hero 8 on the chest mount. And you are right, when the media mod is attached, I have to make sure not to take a swim in the river because it's no longer waterproof. But that's ok, I'm willing to accept that tradeoff to get way better audio. I have another gopro that I carry with me for any underwater shots so I can still vary my shots up a bit. Thanks again for the comment and questions, and best of luck with getting the new camera setup!! Take care, dan
