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.

I bought this before an extended vacation to vlog the entire trip. I used it at least a total of 6 hours a day, and between the wind, traffic, subway chatter and crowded street markets this microphone picked up every word my group had to say. For someone new to the hobby and not ready to invest in the more expensive microphones, this absolutely did the job.

I purchased this for the sole purpose of connecting an external/remote mic. Although this does make it harder to change your battery & the camera is no longer waterproof, this is definitely a great addition to my hiking kit.

Poor Store Performance

The product itself is great. The purchasing at the store was not so great. There was no one at the register to check people out. When I asked a manger at the door he said there will be someone there shorty (aka 20 min) instead of himself checking us out. He was lazy and failed his customer base on that day and should be demoted.

Great accessory for the GoPro. You can connect an external microphone, or light, or anything you need to improve your video audio and quality. Will not use my GoPro if it doesn’t have this cover on.

I Highly recommend this case with the outside speaker to get directional sound. It doesn't do well if you are hoping to use it outside of a car to get rolling shots. All in All, I do recommend if your in a windy city or you want more clear and directional sound.

Mod Of Mods!!! I had an old GoPro3 or 4, it went on scuba and snorkeling trips where we turned it on and found out what we got (or didn’t) when we got home. Adding this mod to the new 9 makes it a darn nice and serviceable travel and bop around cam. The onboard mic is not too shabby and you can add a high end one if needed to boot! Well worth the price paid! You already paid a pile for the excellent gp9 so what’s a few extra bucks to make it an all around go to camera? Do it, you’ll love it!

Awesome features and a good way to expand the GoPro functions. I use it while I ride dirt bikes and the wind noise is greatly reduced with it on. Definitely recommend it if wind noise is an issue. Microphone quality with voice is also improved too. Good product.

Cool attachment but makes it very bulky

A pretty cool attachment but it definitely bulks the GoPro size by double or more. The mic also didn’t seem to sound that great. Basically the same as if I had it just in the GoPros mic. I tired switching positions but still sounded bad. Maybe I got a bad unit, this seems to be more for vlogging. I strap mine on a helmet so less weight the better.
