The VideoMic was less sensitive to off-axis sounds, while the Media Mod mic offered virtually 360 degrees of sensitivity, being only slightly biased to sources in front. When compared to an external Rode VideoMic, the difference in directionality is clear. Part of the issue is that the Media Mod mic just isn’t very long. Voices are slightly deeper, and background noise is reduced relative to what you can hear with the Media Mod, even if it sounds less natural. However, many people will find the warmer, more processed sound of the Hero8’s built-in mics to be desirable. Objectively, it’s better, and power users will likely prefer it. If you’re looking at the Media Mod solely as a means to boost audio quality with its integrated microphone, you might be disappointed.Ĭompared to a naked Hero8 Black, sound quality from the Media Mod’s integrated mic appears to be more accurate and less muffled.

That single connection powers the Mod’s shotgun microphone as well as USB-C, micro HDMI, and 3.5mm ports on the back of the Mod.
You’ll need to first remove the Hero8’s battery door, then the camera simply slides into the frame and connects to the USB-C port. The Media Mod is a frame that completely encloses the Hero8. It feels like the most well-thought-out accessory that GoPro has made, and one that should find a home with many vloggers and YouTubers. Of course, people have been attaching mics and lights to their GoPros for years, but never has there been quite so elegant a solution as the Media Mod.
