    There is in my opinion a design issue. If you need to change the battery, you have to remove the entire frame or attach a charger to this. Other than buying a Volta, you will need to attach an external charger. Second issue is the battery life on the display is very in accurate. The GoPro stops recording at 30% of battery life, but when removed, the GoPro reports the correct percentage. Other than that, the sound is clear and works well. I’ll still use it, but will warn users who need this to be plug and play.

    Media Mod works for a mod

    Sadly a must-have if you want to record any type of media. I use it for when I go on motorcycle rides paired with a mic to get my voice. Other than it being a cash grab if you need this it works and doesn't cause problems.

    Good but misleading product description.

    While the mod provides accessible connections (three ports), it does not charge two batteries at the same time. The BestBuy description is very misleading. There is a noticeable improvement in the audio when you select the correct mic from the settings. Overall, it is a good product but seems overpriced, especially if you expected that it would charge two batteries at the same time. BTW, the manual does not even mention this, so I don't know why BestBuy would have that description.

    Need for light attachment (NOT WATERPROOF)

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

    If you are wondering what you need to get that go pro light to attach to the camera, this is the thing. NO IT IS NOT WATERPROOF I made sure to look into that just to make sure. This really sucks because sometimes you may want to take some underwater video at night... and this is no good for that. Honestly it amazes me that go pro didn't make an attachment for the light on that case that lets you go deeper with the camera... but there is a reason for that. It's because the light for this thing can only go about 30 feet deep, which is less than the case that allows the camera to go much deeper. Other than that, this thing will improve your sound to a noticeable amount. But that is only if you make videos back to back and compare them. That's what I did to see the difference. It's not amazing or anything, but you will get some better sound and a spot for that camera attachment for night shots. So not the worst, but definitely not the best. They should have just had a separate attachment that came with the light that allowed for a waterproof attachment. Both the light and camera are almost identical in depth tolerance. Be weary of this attachment if you do water stuff. It is not for that. Maybe shop around for off brands when going that route.

    This Media Mod snapped right on to the HERO9 with no problems.The wind shield is effective on the microphone. Allows for easy mounting of accessories. My only issue is you must completely remove it to access the battery.

    I don't know if this was something I needed. Sure, the sound is improved, but something about how this mod communicates between the Gopro and the Volta keeps turning the camera on without my input. This causes both the battery in the Gopro and the Votla (Which has the capacity of 2 or 3 batteries to drain to nothing. Parasitic draw is what I think it's called.

    GoPro MediaMod is Wonderful

    The MediaMod is intuitive to use and functions exactly as intended. My only gripe is when swapping out microSD cards or batteries, you have to detach the camera from whatever mount your using becasue the GoPro's mounting legs go through the bottom of the mod. A minor inconvenience.
