    Totally displeased with this product. Functions not intuitive, very small screen and don’t make it incredibly difficult to see and operate properly. Difficult to turn off recording quickly. Waste of a lot of money.

    Way to go GoPro. I have to buy some $80 dollar housing to hook up a better mic.

    Great product. Works well, mic is better than stock, and you can use a mic as well. You can charge the camera through it, but you do have to remove it to upload videos to a computer.

    Should not be necessary, but it does its job.

    I'm not giving this 5 stars for two reasons. The first is that the capabilities that come with the media mod should be standard for the camera by itself. I shouldn't have to buy an $80 mod in order to attach a mic. The built-in mic is awful, so an external mic is necessary. I shouldn't have to modify my camera to make it do basic things that cameras should be able to do. The second is that I have to remove the camera from the media mod to download my videos/pics onto my computer. It charges with the mod attached, but I cannot download. That can be incredibly annoying. Apparently this is very common? Other than that, it does what it is supposed to do (and honestly... it does what the camera should be able to do by itself...)

    Great and very compatible

    Works very well with my go pro hero 9. I even inserted an external microphone on the audio jack and works very fine.

    Not real sure

    Eh it works not seeing much advantage to it for the price. Has audio issue where microphones will cut out if plugged into it in the middle of the footage so have to use just the built in microphone that’s part of the mod. Not sure why it was returned and sold open box but I think I’m starting to see why.

    Too Directional

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Don't understand the high reviews, but the mic is too directional. If you choose rear, the front will be very muffled, not ideal for blogging when speaking to others from behind the camera. I highly recommend using this with a Rode.

    Use to work, 5 months later its no good.

    The media mod external mic stopped working. There’s plenty of people with this same issue. Now I can use external mics without buying another media mod. This is terrible.

    It's laughably bad

    The microphone is garbage. The fact it doesn't have its own mount stands is stupid. The oversight of letting you transfer files via the usbc is laughable. 90$ to let you use an external mic is just GoPro telling you to "pay us a bunch of money and go away."
