Great video man. You explained everything in great detail and really helped me out! Thank you!!!!
Great content!!! Just want to know is 3.5 mic adapter works on Hero 9??
You just gained a follower 🤙🏼🤙🏼 thank you for the output. It was driving me crazy which to go with
I’ve been in audio my entire life. Musician, music Director at major market radio stations, club DJ, etc.. I find that when people think a different mic sounds better, it’s because they’re hearing more low end. What I heard on the $30 mic, and others for that matter as well, is more bass, albeit a tad distorted. Deeper, muffled sound, in my opinion, is not preferable to clean mid range with balance tides and lows for a voice. All audio, cardless of the microphone you’re using, will get more clean and have more naturally occurring low tones the closer you get to the microphone. This is why Lavalier mics sound better. The microphone is closer to you. You can always add more low end in post production. It’s similar to shooting video. Shoot flatter and you can bring up colors in post production. Same with Adio. Good luck everyone.
Thanks for shedding some light on the subject. Great vid!
A year later is there something better? I don't need hdmi out and I fish 4 to 5 hours and would want to swap out battery. I already have a mic. I want to bs able to swap battery out easily or keep it charging with external pack. What do you recommend???
Great video! Thank you! Is it possible to use the ulanzi setup with the Volta? Thanks
Hi, Great video. Thanks for making it. I supposed using the Ulanzi casing will make the gopro (Hero 9 in my case) non-waterproof let's say, in the rain? I'm thinking of using it for riding. Thanks.
I was waiting for this video. Thanks Danny
Just bought my GoPro 10 2 days ago. I ordered the Ulanzi-like cover (I think it is Ulanzi though, I do not trust online shops that much) temporarily for protection purposes. But I will purchase a Media Mod mainly for the HDMI port. I am avoiding the frequent opening of the GoPro door as it may affect the built in internal ports in the long run.
Thus, my question, is the HDMI port the same type C port? Reason for asking is so that I could charge my GoPro without Opening and Closing it frequently.
Thank you in advance. New Subscriber here. Your vids helped me in choosing the cam I must invest on, based on my preference.
Hi Danny. Great video. I’m trying to decide with the go pro hero 10. I like the audio levels. I will be vlogging. So I won’t even see the audio levels but think it’s nice. I’m thinking about getting the display mod so I will see the audio level when vlogging. But I feel like that may be a bulky set up with the mic and possibly light. What do you think is better for vlogging?
Go for media mod 😊
Thanks for sharing..... Has anyone reported any issues with the media mod causing the Hero 9 or 10 to heat up quicker? As always, great job!! 👍
Can you use a USB MIC direct to go pro 9? I mean i have a lavalier USB C mic and rather than having to buy the media mod can i just plug it in directly?
Does the Ulanzi fits with a tempered glass on the Hero 9?, because the media mod doesnt :(
is there audio meter shows up when using midi mod with mic attached?
Hi danny, it's no doubt another awesoooooooome video!!
This channel is great. Well done man
Hey thanks so much for that shockkie! Really I appreciate the kind words
I know right its amazing
I use GoPro hero 9 and have Rode wireless go II. Will this work for that. Bc my media mod just broke after 2 1/2 years of use.
Good video, one thing you did not touch on, was weight, I am thinking of getting a Go pro9, but am in doubt over the Ulanzi or the media mod, so, how do the different weights compare?.
Oh ya true. The metal cage ulanzi weights a little more, but in my opinion it’s so tiny that I don’t even notice a difference .
Doesn't the Hero 9 black media mod have a 3.5 mm plug for an external mic? I'm new to all this first time user, etc etc.
Hello Danny , I have a question for ya :
I have an external mic that needs to be used on my GoPro hero 10.
Do you think I can rely on any cheaper type C cable adapter or do I need specifically the GoPro one? It's just so so frustrating for me to spend so much for such a piece of plastic.
Thanks in advance for your answer
I'm in the same situation😑
Definitely use the cheaper one If that's all you need It for.
What setup you would recommend for moto vlogs
With the metal cage and the 3.5 mm adapter if I an moto vlogging with this attached to the motorcycle helmet, if it rains, what type of risk him I expecting?
great question. If it is slight rain, I think you will be okay. there might be some type of rubber band thing you can put on the usbc connection that will block it further.
Good comparison! If you don't mind, I can add another info. If we choose the Ulanzi solution, we can also use the mic adaptor in another GoPro version. For example, I use the Ulanzi case with Saramonic Blink 500 B2 on my GoPro H10 and the GP audio adapter but also have the option to use the same setup on my GP H8, with another case of course, that costs just 20 bucks. 😉
Hi Danny. I’m totally new to GoPro. I’ll be using it for vlogging and as a webcam for client sessions. I’m wondering why someone would need the hdmi out, in case I could need it. It may be helpful to mention I use all Apple products.
Oh ya great point . I may have mentioned it in another video and forgot on this one 🤦♂️ but hdmi out is great if you connect to an hdmi capture card and use it as a webcam instead of just the usbc (which works so not a big deal) but also if you want to use it connected to your tv or something that’s another reason for the hdmi . So for you, it might not be an issue :)
One problem I've ran into in using the adapter was the jack connection didn't work one time and I didn't know I lost all audio until post production.
Can you do pass thru charging thru the media mod?
I ordered the Ulanzi G9-14 as I got a mic adapter from GoPro while they are searching for a solution to the popping audio problem I have with the GP9. I compared it with another brand that makes great cages for different brands of cameras: Smallrig. I think the Ulanzi is the better one, but I can’t really compare as I don’t have the Smallrig cage. I use the adapter with a Rode Videomic and their wireless Go system, both giving way better sound compared to the internal microphones. Your video confirms me I made the right choice!
Oh awesome ! Ya they do sound great with video mic and wireless go, I used to use the 3.5mm set up with my hero 7 for a long time and then ya it was annoying that it didn’t work for the gp9 until the latest update . I haven’t checkout out small rig. I’m sure I’ve seen their ads on insta or fb though. I’ll check them out. Thanks for the comment :)
Awesome video Danny, keep them coming:)
thanks Jasper! I appreciate it! love your photo booths!!!
We have IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun microphone, can we send you one for the next mic review you are doing?
Hi Danny. So I saw a couple of other videos and they were saying with the 9 Hero the adapter doesn’t work, so you are unable to use your external mic. Do you know if this issue was fixed?
100% yes it works as of December 17. Their latest firmware update shows it as well!!
Ok thank you. I have both right now, but plan on returning one of them. Decisions decisions decisions 🤣
@@suitcasejunkies8719 which one did you Keep
I use Ulanzi for my GoPro 8 & 10 while vlogging for my channel in Mexico and they are great.
what is that mic adpater holder for metal cage?
GoPro 10, Media Mod, and Volta is how I’m vlogging now. I used the Ulanzi tank cage for a while, it got too heavy and clunky. I don’t think the Media Mod mic is all that bad - in certain conditions: indoors and/or outside with no wind. When I need something for windy days outside, I use the Comica BoomX- D1 wireless with a lav mic.
oh I forgot your channel rocks thank you for all your hard work
Aw thanks so much for that! It is a lot of hard work sometimes... this video took up my whole day (except for a lot of distractions around the house lol)
Waiting for this for a long time. Finally! Thanks Danny! I believe ulanzi is the best option among all these. Great Chinese company makes extraordinary stuff with reasonable price. And idk why I cannot buy the MT-09 tripod on their website. So I asked them through email. They said because of the issues with GoPro website and they were required to unlist it?? I cannot believe that GoPro found a good tripod which beats their Shorty to the ground and then force them to unlist it. If this is ture I would feel shame for them. Apart from that, GoPro's adapter is really expensive. Just for the 3.5mm jack. But even consider of this, I still would go for the ulanzi G9-14. Super solid and practical.
ya Aaron! i thought you would like it :) this video actually took me all day to make (with a bunch of distractions) lol BUT wow i didnt know that about the MT-09 I think thats the one they sent me... however the MT-08 with the GP-4 magnetic release thing would be an awesome combo!!! yea i agree that 3.5mm jack is way to expensive for what it does.... i really want to take it apart or even take the media mod apart and see how they made it and see if i can figure it out.. or at least challenge someone else to figure it out !!! yea the Metal cage is soooooo solid! i love it, thanks for writing Aaron, have a great day!
@@DannyBlack Thank you for the reply:) I am going to order G9-14 with adapter and GP-4 for sure. Because your videos are really useful for me to choose accessories for my GoPro. And ulanzi has many options better than GoPro website’s.
But the Media Mod has a bi-directional mic, no? The external mic would only point one way so I can either record my own audio clearly and leave the rest muffled or the other way around. MM would record both sides. Or do I have it wrong?
you dont have it wrong. the media mod has a bi directional mic, however you have to choose which direction the mic is capturing on the gopro menu in between shots. its kind of a pain. there are cheap mics out there that do bi directional ... or with the ulanzi set up you can just turn the mic around
I'm still torn on which set-up to go with, I thinking I'm leaning towards the MediaMod. Thanks for another great video Danny.
Ah man. Ya I set out to make this video to give a clear cut.. “this way makes more sense” but it all boils down to whether you need to use hdmi out (in my opinion) or if you already had a 3.5mm adapter from before (like i did with my hero 7)
One thought I had re: the media mod vs the ulanzi setup is the ability to charge at the same time. Recently, I have been using the gopro as a webcam, and plugging it in to charge while using HDMI out has been helpful.
Overall, I am bummed with the media mod mic though and wound up using my own external mic anyway.
oh ya same here. that media mod mic is just trash in my opinion. i really wish they could have done something better with it. thanks so much for the comment, and so sorry for the late reply, i am now just trying to catch up on those!!
Can you use the media mod on rain? Thats my issue with the ulanzi im afraid rain will come through to the open sockets.
I also want know, can we use media mode in rainy day? With GoPro 9,
unfortunately its not waterproof... however, I have used the media mod in the rain and it did fine.. got a little wet but I didnt let it be completely exposed
Where did you get the mic adapter side mount that's on the battery door cover? I can't find it anywhere and I would be perfect for moto vlogging!
The metal case is totally different in the link too.
Oh I’ll have to fix all those links. I think they changed some products since making this. Ill try to find that cage with the side door, if they still sell it
@@DannyBlack I figured, that's sad. That thing looks awesome!
Plastic cage allows you to use 52mm screw on filters that you might already have from your dslr and the cold shoe mount on top keeps your external mic and dead cat raised more away from lens!
Yes very very good point! Thanks for adding that... very good points. That cold shoe raised mount is a cool little add on!!
Media Mod and Rode external or Remote mics
*GoPro has an excellent warranty,* I got my Hero 9 and media Mod both replace a month out of warranty!
And Use a "F"ing TRIPOD!
THANKS!!! I am very grateful!
Thanks for the comment mike!!
Quick question... With the Media Mod or Ulanzi are you able to charge the camera while recording or streaming? The battery life on Go Pro SUCKS!!
interesting, I find that the battery on my hero 9 lasts quite a while. ive tested it and recorded at 5k for an hour and there was still 40% left. for something reason when you are recording, it does not charge, it only charges in-between recordings. I think this was an over heating issue
HI. question. CAN U LEAVE the media mod connected to the go pro ? I dont have plan to remove it tho, im just thinking if there will be issue leaving the media mod connected to go pro .
Actually the only reason you would need to remove it is to change batteries but if you didn’t need to do that and just charge through usbc on the media mod you’ll be okay
Oh thank u so much.. 😊
You are fast becoming my favourite reviewer
You are fast becoming my favorite commenter :) but seriously your encouragement really is helpful
@@DannyBlack you are doing well brother I can only hope that we are talking when you get to a million subscribers
I bought the media mode 2 years ago... it sucks for the 2 reasons you mentioned: you can't access the battery and they should have added the "feet" to the media mode itself so that you didn't have to use the GoPro ones to be able to remove it easily.... so I bought the Newer cage... I hope it will make the whole process a little bit easier
does the lens mod fit with the both of them I imagine the gopro one works but will it fit with the Ulanzi one
Yes it fits. G9-14 supports lens change.
Yes Aaron is correct, but it doesn’t fit the plastic one
Thanks for the info!
With the Ulanzi case, with rain I’d it a bad idea to use that case? Since the c type port Is viable?
actually the case is on so tight it will keep water from getting into that port when plugged in... however if it was POURING or if it was submerged i could see it could be a problem.
@@DannyBlack thanks man! Might just get one and use it when it’s dry so I don’t have worry about it in the rain lol. 💯💯
@@OrdinaryCaptain lol great idea! i find the audio on the onboard mics in the rain work well!!
@@DannyBlack good to know! I really appreciate it 😃
The media mod is fine for me. The mic is also OK. Yes, the external mic is slightly better, but I'm not after high fidelity anyway. As far as that short annoying screw used to attach the MM, just get a longer one and you're all set. One big advantage of the metal Ulanzi case is that it acts as a big heat sink for the GoPro. Well, that's my 2 cents
I have the Ulanzi, Smallrig and media mod encasement. The only reason I use the media mod is because I bought a couple of them before discovering the cages. Granted I do like how the ports are integrated. The mod makes things seem less cluttered. But we use these in an environment where heat is a factor and the batteries shut down and need replacement. It is a royal Pain to switch out the battery when the media mod is in place. Especially a pain when it is mounted to anything. For those reasons and more I use the cages. I feel using the cages has allowed for less heat buildup. But the batteries still need swapping, but the process is Much easier with either of the cages. The Ulanzi is a little beefier than the Smallrig. It also has better gasket on the doors. The Smallrig does have a better latch on the rear door. My Ulanzi latch seems to always be difficult to release and gets stuck. On the side door the Smallrig allows you to remove the swing door and keep the Gopro door on for water tight use. The Ulanzi does not have the option to remove the battery side door. Other than the small irritant of the back door latch, I think the Ulanzi is the best of them all.
Every time I put on the media mod, after taking it off, the front screen didnt turn on... I have to reinsert it few times tested if the front screen on then im good to go... the whole process is very frustrating if u're on the go especially after you change the battery or sd card.
Ya that design for a change of sd or battery kills me!! That’s odd about the front screen turning off. Is that something you can adjust in the menu??
@@DannyBlack yep u can turn it off by choice... but not automatically as what i ecperience... flaw in design maybe?... hv to live with it or toss it. Might consider ulanzi cage later.
Weight is a big part of it too... mediamod is light, where ulanzi cage is heavy. Level of protection is changing there too. Ulanzi stuff is build like a tank, but yet I went with the media mode. Purely so I could power up my gopro through the usb c connector.
but you can charge it wit the ulanzi too without opening the cage.
That woosh at 4:02 scared me. Was using headphones. Great comparison though. Thank you😊
Hahha I think I missed that one (with the volume) to funny . I just listened to it back with headphones and it got me too! 🤣
The issue I have with the 9 and media mod is that I can’t find a screen protector to fit it with it on. The glass ones peel up when I put the media mod on
Oh interesting. I actually haven’t used a screen protector on it. Seems to hold up great under the elements for me
Try the one from Spigen on Amazon.
I just got the GoPRO 9 last year as a gift.
This all goes out the window if you plan on externally powering the camera. The mic adapter's usb port is "not intended for powering or charging", according to GoPro and footage is super buggy (often with no audio) if you try to use it that way. Since it uses the cam's USB port, you no longer have the option of external power when using the mic adapter. The Media Mod works as intended and I've never had a bad file with either the 9 or 10 in a Media Mod while externally powered. My kayak fishing "always in Hindsight Mode" practices require external power, so the Media Mod is a no-brainer for me. Great audio with external mics... no battery changes... trouble-free.
So if I get the media mod for the Hero 9 ,I can hook up the charging while live streaming (using it as a webcam)with no issues? Also what charger brand/model do you use?
@@antlearn5030 Double edged answer: Yes, if you are using the 9 with the mobile app for stand-alone streaming. BUT.....No, not if you are using the 9 as a webcam connected to a PC or Mac. The drivers for PC and Mac DO NOT recognize the Media Mod. You can connect the GoPro to the computer via the camera's own USB-C port and your external mic as you normally would, and then just set the paths in your streaming software.
Thank you for this. Was having second thought on the Ulanzi because I have no idea if the mic adapter works while externally being charged. You confirmed my decision. Thank you so much. Getting the Volta and Media Mod instead. ^_^
@@arjay0490 This is a rarely covered issue. To absolutely confirm, the OEM adapter is a total POS. You are on the right track and should remain relatively trouble-free if externally powered and plugged into the Media Mod. If you have any trouble with the Media Mod with the 9 or 10 following an update, do a full reset. It will remain on the current firmware, but should fix any glitches. If you do so, you'll just have to re-program your presets... but any glitches should go away. Best wishes and happy filming!
@@BarryP thanks for the response, Barry. You helped me greatly. Happy filming to you as well.
For me the media mod was a no brainer. I also rigged up a system that helps when changing batteries or SD cards. Thanks for the info, great content…👍🏻
That’s awesome. Ya a better method for changing the batteries and Sd card was this biggest problem for sure !!!
What system did you rig up to make it easier to swap batteries or SD cards?
thanks good imformation
Great content Danny!
Thanks cami!!!! :) I love seeing comments from you
@@DannyBlack Always here to support a great creator as you! Abrazos 🤗
Nice bro thanks you so mch
Both have good and bad points, but i suppose it all comes down to individual uses i guess, i use the media mod but hate it sometimes for the reasons you mention, i wish they would have separate mounting fingers, its a real pain to undo whatever mount you have just to change the battery, thanks for the video though, awesome stuff
yes you get me!!! why did they do that? imagine if they just had its own screw thread like what ulanzi has. Now you are right that they both have good and bad points.
I prefer the Media Mod over the Ulanzi. The two things I use in the Media Mod is the power jack & the audio jack. For the audio jack I use the Comica external microphone or the Hollyland Lark 150 wireless microphone. The receiver & the transmitters on the Hollyland has it's own power so there is no need to us the power jack on the Media Mod. But the biggest thing of all is using my Inland power bank to plug into the power jack to add extra power to my Gopro 11 battery to prevent it from overheating and longer video recordings. The Ulanzi does not have a microphone jack like the Media Mod so you have to use the power jack for your micro phone living no plug ins for a power bank. However I did get the Ulanzi Go-Quick II Extendable Tripod and jerry rigged my power bank on to the tripod for my Media Mod.
The first GoPro 1 and 2 or hero. Had a 3.5mm mic in built in. {hdmi too] Why can’t GoPro do that again?
Did it have 3.5mm? I remember it having hdmi, but I thought you needed like a little usb to 3.5mm jack (or maybe that started at the hero 3)
Hero 2 certainly did has a mic symbol on the bottom side
I thought the 3.5mm adapter doesnt work with the hero 9
Support was added in FW v1.5
The media mod is still better for me as I use my GoPro on a Inkee Falcon Plus Gimbal which doesn't have space for the bulky option he is suggesting.
I think I'm going Ulanzi. A wireless mic connection on it will look pretty sleek and I want to be able to thread it on my monopod.
Awesome ring man. It’s a great idea! Looks very sleek :)
One thing I do agree the Ulanzi is superior in build quality. I would love for them to come out with something similar to GoPro to include a micro HDMI connection. In my opinion, it's quality is superior to USB-C.
I agree.. when you get the settings right with the gopro it will look pretty good! better than USBC.. although the USBC is pretty easy to set up and go.
Dude the mod is built well enough, especially for something plastic.
Yes it’s built well enough... I haven’t broken it, but I do worry about it in my backpack when I’m on the go... or worried I might step on it.
i have both and the verdict is.....weight. The ulanzi metal upgraded case is nice but way too heavy if your vlogging all day.Media mod weighs less and the mic is better than stock, plus you can use the display mod to frame your shot which is nice. While the Ulanzi uses my rode mini mic with a spacer, i can use the spacer and rode mic on the media mod and still weigh less.
ya thats not a bad verdict. i feel like if the media mod had a screw thread on the botton and the side for portrait connects to tripods it would be the clear winner to me, but thats the part that gets to me everytime i use the media mod is how annoying it is to connect to other gear (maybe thats just me)
Does the 3.5mm adapter work on GoPro 10?
Yes it does
@@DannyBlack Thanks! I’m still debating on whether to have the metal or plastic cage. I’ve never used Ulanzi products before so having a tough choice. 😅
You sir are underrated, great Channel
well thank you midwest chris! which part of the midwest do you come from? I was a michigander until i moved to Australia
@@DannyBlack Ohio
@@96ej UH OH lol... nah just kidding, i have family in Mansfield, and i used to play gigs around Columbus and akron a lot
@@DannyBlack Small World!! I lived in Dublin and near Bexley, in BG now
What's Australia like? I've always wanted to visit, do you have any videos about what living in Australia is like as an American?
@@96ej oh wow.. i played a few times at a bar in dublin called wedgewood pub... i dont think its still there but it was a while ago! australia is pretty cool.. i have a whole playlist of Australia vids you can check out if you want :)
The Gopro media mod is a pain in the butt! The thumb screw is too short for the design so you have to carry a screw driver around in order to get it tight enough on what ever your mounting it on. For that I give it a 3...
Ya you are so right. They need to include a long screw, ... well they really should have just made it into a screw thread ... it’s such a bad design
It’s really hard to decide, on the one hand its easy to switch the battery out on the Ulanzi but the media mod has the mic levels.
it is hard to decide. and if gopro would have just made their media mod with a screw thread at the bottom i think it would have been a clear winner
Great 👍👏👏👏
Ulanzi win for me. Because when I need to replace battery I must remove it all from helmet mount and remove a Gopro out from the media mod. It have a lot of process.
Woo-hoo, finally found this video!
Wow i like the hdmi out, but i will test both as well.
ah you found it :) i was just about to comment on your last one!! even after a month or so of using both of these I still find it hard to figure out which is better worth it lol
@@DannyBlack well i recently aquired a hero black with a media mod to be my backup cam on my podcast, i don't need the audio but I needed a long cable, so i was debating getting a long usb c cable or a long hdmi to micro cable.
So i decided to get the hdmi cuz i already had an extra capture card.
Thanx for the amazing video. Great work
I ordered the media mod today for my Hero 10. I just hope I will be happy with the microphones on it.
One disadvantage of using Ulanzi: Cannot use the max lens
I agree that GoPro made the product without doing the usability testing and launching the bad Media Mod to the market.
It's the Best video
The Ulanzi setup looks nice, but for hiking with the cam on my shoulder it looks a bit too clusterfunky. I got the media mod and it is sleek but not super happy with sound. I may have to get another mic to add on.
oh i can totally understand that about clipping it on. with the media mod mic being terrible you could always just get a rode lav or something out of your media mod that can just clip on you and try to tuck the wires in or something . thanks for the comment nick!
I'm gonna take your advice! Hope it works or else😂
Subscribed!
Hey thanks Kevin ! I appreciate you helping the channel grow :)
1:13 it should have been made of metal to help with heat dissipation. But like you said, money!!! 7/10 is being too generous for the mediamod. I bought a smallRig cage instead.
The mod mic 🎙 is flat not good at all
Ya. I almost wish they didn’t even add that mic at all! 🤦♂️
quality Danny
Thanks mark!! :)
Yes, the Media Mod microphones sucks. So I use the Comica external microphone or the Zoom H1N but not the Media Mod mic.
The Ulanzi beats the media mod just for the ease of battery removal alone.
The link for the metal cage took me to a "404 Not Found" page
thanks so much for making me aware of that... I think they stopped selling that design but they do have this metal cage tinyurl.com/pd6cx9mf
I share your opinion the media mod is crap I just need it for the hdmi out wish is super expensive.
I want to like it .. I really do but man that bottom part is a pain in the butt!
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
And the audio still sucks! Im using a 3.5mm mic adapter bcoz it now works with the new update, BUT! Motovloging? It is very frustrating that you have to turn off the camera unplug the adapter turn it back on then plug the mic adpater for it to work and have an audio, and bcoz of this you cant use the auto record feature like you just have to hit record button, you can record the moment but 100% sure you wont have an audio! Go pro needs to work on that or they just really want us to buy a media mod. And it sucks like when you are in a bike speeding at a 150kph and you wanna record with audio, you have to do the whole process and sure you will find your self falling on a cliff later.
Oh wow I had no idea that you have to unplug it and plug it back in. Can’t you just have it in standby mode instead of Power off?
@@DannyBlack u can put it in standby mode but expect it to drain battery faster and its gonna be hot like iron 😅 and thats legit. Been there done that
The media mod is frustrating in its own ways. Microphone sucks 💩 and accessibility of the battery is nonsense 😠. I just breathe really deep and take my time 😂. Although using the Rode Go 2 microphone is the cat's meow in my opinion 😹
media mod for $55 for sure.... if you are subscribed to gopro plan
oh hey that is a good deal!!
good info but this video is constantly so out of focus it hurts my eyes lol
