Thanks, I just spent 99.00 for the media mod and a wired microphone as I can't afford and don't need wireless, however I didn't know I needed any of it until I watched your video. No telling how much you have cost me in the past 3 years... 😳 😆 But thanks for all the information and helping me make good decisions!
Have you noticed a parasitic battery drain with the GoPro 11 hooked up with the media mod? Example traveling with GoPro 11 in media mod next day battery 🪫 3%.
It's because Gopro wants you to buy an adapter to make more money but not even provide a proper way to mount it. All they need to do is move the mic input to the other side and have another waterproof door.
Doesn’t matter if they provide a microphone input on the camera, the unreliable GoPro will select whichever external microphone it feels will wreck your footage and waste the most time.
Good video on the subject. I look forward to when/if you address the topic of GoPro10 with MediaMod not turning on or off. Where the solution is to pull out and put back the battery. It's not fun when you have to take everything apart to do it. Also the problem with Volta and MediaMod together. Where the stiff cable on the Volta causes the connector into the MediaMod to have an unnatural twist and the connector is also in a vulnerable position for external influences.
The media mod detects that a microphone is in, but it doesn't receive any sound is the issue. You should show how to switch it so that the sound goes to the 3.5mm too
I kind of feel bad about Go Pro , the same camera for years with don't minimal upgrades, with the same problems , with no new products, I don't think this company will live long. Lucent video as always 💜
Eh, they're good budget cameras. We know its the same shit everytime, but they're small and compact, and are very versatile. I do think they should stop updating so often.
How do you connect a clamp tripod to the go pro with the audio box round it? I'm finding I can't secure it on because the handle of the clamp is too big its hitting against the box and I can't tighten it
How do you adjust the audio input level on the gopro? I am using a Synco G2 A2 wireless system and my audio keeps clipping, even on the lowest gain settings.
Why do only certain audio cables work with the GOPRO HERO 6 Black ? I have the GoPro Microphone adapter and only a cable with two 'indents' will carry audio? The system is so baffling.
ISSUE: I just got my Go Pro 11 today, plugged in the mic adapter and microphone and my Go Pro 11 isn't recognizing it? So when I go to Settings>Media Mod, it just says N/A. Plugged the mic adapter into my old Go Pro 5 and it works perfectly fine. Are you or anyone else having this issue? I essentially have the same setup as in the video and can't click into mic settings like in 4:37
I am researching a helmet mic. I don't know why you didn't extend more about it but thanks anyway. And it's need adapter?? 49.00? Pretty bad for who wants to lead the "small cameras" business.
hello, I took the ssm GoPro Hero 11 Black Creator Edition, but when I connect the volta and the media mode, the sound somehow echoes through the media mode, and when I take it off, I record only with the camera with a softer sound, so I'm interested in why I hear the sound ringing with the media mode???

Hi Shawn, I have a gopro 10 and need a wireless mic. I have a metal case not a media mod. Could I use a DJI mic and directly conected it to the shoot, without a media mod. and can I do it without a mic adapter. Thank you sir.
I bought the gopro 11, media mod, rode mic, and DJI dual mic from this video. I had to hunt down the rode because the link was dead. What do you recommend for lighting that would mount on the cold shoe?
The two I would recommend is Lume cube They are fairly expensive, but a fantastic light. And fairly small. Even the little gopro light. That go pro sells it’s not super bright, but enough for vloging.
I have the 11 with the media mod. However the steps you go through for setting up an external mic is not the same as I am seeing. I go to preferences/mods, I see Max Lens Mod and Media Mod. On Media Mod there is nothing selectable...it's shows "standard mic" but is grayed out. I can go in to the Video settings on the main screen and select which video setting (Activity). From there I can scroll down to the audio section...from there I can select Media Mod. From there you have 3 options, front, rear and camera mic. But in the preferences you show, there is nothing selectable so I can't get an external mic to work. Any suggestions?
@THE 2WHEEL CULTURE I thought I had replied to Austin's comment but apparently not. Anyway I ended up using a different cord to hook up my wireless mics. The mics I have came with two cords, you may need to use one with the two black rings on both ends.
@@THE2WEELCULTURE I was just looking on my wireless mic receiver cord and it is a TRS type plug. When I looked at my standard lavalier mic, it is a TRRS type plug. If I plug the lavalier mic in the mod, it will not switch to that mic, it stays on the mod mic choices...front, rear or the camera's built in mic. However when I plug in the TRS wireless mic receiver, it automatically switches to the wireless mic. So if just plug a standard TRRS mic in to the mic plug on the media mod, it will grey out but that mic will not be active. I have not tried it but if you want to plug a standard mic in to the media mod, you may want to try a TRRS to TRS adapter. I hope this has helped at least a little.
I tried with two adaptor, also firmware updated, still external mic is not getting connection, Preferences- mod- only visible with media mod.. I want it also with adaptor.. but not getting success
Curious if anybody else is having this problem? I purchased a Hero11 2 weeks ago along with the Pro 3.5mm mic adapter, the mic adapter showed as "N/A" in the "Mods" menu. I spent 2 days with support trying to sort it out and was instructed to exchange the Hero11. I exchanged the camera for a new one and the same problem persisted. I spent another day with support and they sent me a new 3.5mm mic adapter. Still "N/A" in the "Mods" menu. I have done all the resets, and firmware updates. Nothing. Both mic adapters work perfectly with my Hero7. At this point, I am pretty furious. I don't want to jump ship, but the Action 3 is looking really good right now. Plus, you can plug a USBC mic directly into it.
@@Boselinelko yeah, I had to send 2 cameras back. I got one that works now but it was over a month of hassle. That said, the camera is really good. The 10bit color and 8:7 aspect ratio at 5.3k is pretty stellar. Color matching and grading to cinema spec is in reach and being able to significantly reframe is awesome. I hope that they can sort out their quality control because it's a really useful camera. My only gripe now is the lack of remote view live view. But that's a patent problem and we can blame Contour for that..
I tried hooking up a movo vxr10 to media mod. All I get is static. I tried hooking up another mic and the same thing until I signaled power to the mic. I reached out to GoPro an 2 months later with support and a new media mod, no solution. Any help?
Question for anyone. I am 76 and new to video editing. (Scary) I started with Open Shot, but then moved to Davinci Resolve and it has more than I can keep up with, so far at least.

I would prefer to avoid the time it would take me to figure that out. 🙃 Thanks...
Not a GoPro brand microphone but you have to use the GoPro microphone adapter or the media mod. You cannot plug a microphone directly into it and third-party microphone adapters. Do not work.
Check to make sure it’s a TRS Lavalier, and not a TRRS. You can tell by looking at the end if it has three sections and it’s TRS if it has four and it’s TRRS. TRRS will not work.
Is this media mod suits for go pro 9 or 10? Or only go 11? I’m in Korea now, and I can’t find media mod for go pro 11, but there are a lot cages for go pro 9 and I can’t check it because i can buy it only in local internet shop
The medium is the same for all three versions, 9, 10 and 11. It is the exact same model. Most likely if you’re searching just the labeling hasn’t been updated on it because the 11 did not exist yet. But one labeled for hero 9 or 10 will work perfectly with your 11.
It really depends on what you’re doing. Myself I like to record at 60 FPS when possible just so I can slow the footage down by half if needed. Primarily I filming a wide field of view. And I keep stabilization at the maximum.
I've been having some issues with my media mod not recording audio while charging. Any insight into that? I'm using the media mod, USB C charger connected to external battery, and a Sony wireless mic receiver plugged into the audio jack.
I may touch base on that in my 30 day review which is coming up in the next few days hopefully. But the stabilization on the 10 was already really good. The difference between the two is very minor if at all.
@@AirPhotography Hello Sir, just bought a hero 11 black. I want to record my motorcycle riding and I have huge wind noise problem. Which is best microphone to cancel the wind. I think I need to put mic in my helmet but I don't know which one to buy ?
Being upper lazy here but it just occurred to me. Has anyone tried attaching the DJI Mic receiver direct to the USB c port on the mic adapter instead of using the 3.5 mm? Just wondered if that would work.
Hey Sean another random question regarding Lumafusion. When I export a video that let’s say is 4 minutes long, it’s exporting it as like a 20 min+ video… And so all I get is a video that plays my footage etc and then when it ends it just keeps rolling with a black screen for minutes. Reasoning behind that? Is there a setting i’m missing? Appreciate your time and help.
This has happened to me before and the reason it happened was because there was a army 1 frame clip that was way at the end of my timeline which I had to delete and it exported normally.
@@TUFFBASS It appears to be just my first video. New to Lumafusion so what should I look for regarding that army 1 frame clip? Thanks for your help btw
As mentioned by another poster, I would check the timeline zoom in and see if there’s any random clips or something that got placed near the end. The other thing you can do is just create a whole new project and copy the footage in and see if that fixes the problem
But how to do you connect a headphone to hear the sound. A visual meter is fine but miss the sounds of birds or airplanes that you may force you to do a re-take for an interview. I can't find anybody that talks about any kind of headphone.
I’m not sure I have never tried that, I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Depending on how much air flow is in the helmet you still may have to use the wind muff on the transmitter
Great video and go pro? THEY ARE LAME. I can take any external microphone and using a trs 3.5 to usb-c connect and use those microphones on my DJI OSMO ACTION 3. Another reason, I am annoyed with Go Pro and try not to use it unless I have to vs. my much more friendly DJI OSMO ACTION 3.
GoPro’s are too unreliable with their microphone inputs, and if you want any half decent audio (and take the guess work out of which audio input/microphone the GoPro will randomly select) I’d steer clear of GoPro cameras. I had the GoPro 10 with media mod and the microphone would rarely work because the GoPro would select any external microphone (sometimes front, sometimes back) except the microphone input I selected. After much back and forth discussion with 2 different GoPro representatives regarding the problem and providing evidence (I used the recommended Røde lapel microphone and ensured it was the correct jack), I sent the GoPro camera back and was sent a replacement several weeks later, but because the GoPro was so unreliable in maintaining the correct audio input, I can no longer be bothered using it as I don’t care to waste my time or footage. This is coming from a long time user having had the GoPro 7, 8, 9 and 10 and I’ve personally found they’ve have become more and more unreliable at each new release (as they rush to release a new model instead of fixing the problems with their existing models), to the point where you don’t know what you’re going to get until after you’ve filmed (expect plenty wasted footage with crackling or inaudible audio). In contrast I have a Insta360 One X2 which I use for snowboarding and it works perfectly every time.
After researching all of these cameras with stabilizers I decided to forgo finding a stabilizer camera and just duct tape my $50 Moto g Pure to my forehead and save hundreds of dollars.
Good setup guide for using the DJI Mic with the Hero 11. They work well together and you can get much better audio with this setup. Great video, and thanks for sharing Shawn.
I tried a recording using a rode wireless go and the gopro adapter on my gopro 11 and the voice is out of sync with the video. Had a similar problem with my gopro 7 but found if I pressed record then, plugged in the mic, it synced with the video. I did the same with the 11 but it was still out of sync. Any ideas?
Im running into issues when connecting an external adapter to the go pro and it not showing up under "media mods". A quick google search shows others are having this issue. I have a Saramonic Blink 500. Currently updating Go Pro firmware to see if that works. Update. Firmware V 2.12 Did not
I want to use the Volta with an external microphone on the GoPro Hero 11 WITHOUT having to use the Media Mod because I do not want to use the microphones of the Media Mod. How can I do that? Thanks.
Hi there, great video!! I was just wondering.. can I run an external mic and external battery from that adapter simultaneously? And if not, is there a set up that would allow me to do that for my GoPro 11 ? Thank you!!
Double check to make sure you’re using the right type of cable. There are TRS, and TRRS cables. With road cables you don’t wanna use one that has a gray end. That is for smart phones, and will not work with a Gopro. Other than that, I’m not sure what else to suggest.
And most easy way to record good sound from your setup is to record sound only with DJI transmitter-mic (they both have 8gb memory inside) and after in post production synchronize it very easy. And you don’t need to connect some cables and use these plastic boxes which takes so much time to connect and looks weird. Just don’t forget to press button on the mic and check red light indicator to be shure recording is going on! That’s how I use GoPro 11 and DJI Mic together. Super easy, fast and I even have 2 ways of sound - 1st from DJI Mic, 2nd from GoPro camera for spare 👌
I don't get it. At 30 seconds in you say "you do need to use gopro products to make a microphone work". And at 40 seconds you say "Amazon products won't work, you have to use the gopro brand." Then at 2:07 you say, "This is the Rode video micro, it works really well because it's not overly big."
I’m referring to a Microphone adapter, not the microphone itself. In order to use a microphone with a GoPro you have to use the GoPro branded microphone adapter for the Gopro Media mod. No other microphone adapter from other brands will work. However, once you have that you can use any microphone you choose.
Good explanation how to connect Dji Mic with GoPro, so if i've understand well, to connect them we must buy separately the Media Mod and the Cable , it doesnt come with the package (Media Mod with GoPro and Cable with Dji Mic) ?
Yes, you will need a microphone. The creators edition does not include an external mic. There are microphones built into the media mod. But ideally, you’re going to get better sound with a good third-party microphone.
The cost of the GoPro adapter is a lot, but that’s only the start of it. It’s the size that makes a difference too I don’t want a heavy cable to get a mic, nor a media mod. Even though I have both the adapter and media mod I still don’t have a perfect solution.
I Found that Sennheiser Makes a Waterproof Mic for the Hero 4 But It Does not Say if that Mic will work on The Hero 11 They Also Do Not Say if They Make other Waterproof Mics for Go Pro. Is there Any Other Companies You know of that Makes a Waterproof Mic For GoPro hero 11 ?
Is there any way that you can recommend what job we should get so that we can afford a $329 DJI Mic? ... Actually, any wireless mic will do. Even my $50 mic.
Sir when I use adaptor and external mix and i go in preference there I don't get standard mic. There I find only N/A, Please if you know any solution tell me.
Indeed, it is actually a very tight fit. You have to put a fair amount of pressure to even get them in. I don’t think you’ll have any issues with them vibrating loose.
I agree the media mod is crap. It makes changing the battery a complete pain in the butt. I have the media mod but never use it. Yes the Ulanzi is bigger and yes you need the mic adapter but you can change the battery without removing the cage, you can charge without removing the cage, its so much better than the media mod.
Thanks, I just spent 99.00 for the media mod and a wired microphone as I can't afford and don't need wireless, however I didn't know I needed any of it until I watched your video. No telling how much you have cost me in the past 3 years... 😳 😆 But thanks for all the information and helping me make good decisions!
Shame on GoPro. That media mod is just a piece of plastic and they want $100
You are right

Have you noticed a parasitic battery drain with the GoPro 11 hooked up with the media mod? Example traveling with GoPro 11 in media mod next day battery 🪫 3%.
Yep and the mod over heats it aswell.
Unbelievable how you still need a mic adapter in this day and age.
It's because Gopro wants you to buy an adapter to make more money but not even provide a proper way to mount it. All they need to do is move the mic input to the other side and have another waterproof door.

@@AirPhotography Hello Sir, just bought a hero 11 black. I want to record my motorcycle riding and I have huge wind noise problem. Which is best microphone to cancel the wind. I think I need to put mic in my helmet but I don't know which one to buy ?
great video
Being upper lazy here but it just occurred to me. Has anyone tried attaching the DJI Mic receiver direct to the USB c port on the mic adapter instead of using the 3.5 mm? Just wondered if that would work.
HI, if I use volta while its connected to gopro and charging, can i still connect mic like mke 200 to the gopro and use it?
Yes, but you have to be using the median mode and then you can plug in the volta and Microphone
@@AirPhotography thnx.. appreciate your reply 🙏
Hey Sean another random question regarding Lumafusion. When I export a video that let’s say is 4 minutes long, it’s exporting it as like a 20 min+ video… And so all I get is a video that plays my footage etc and then when it ends it just keeps rolling with a black screen for minutes. Reasoning behind that? Is there a setting i’m missing? Appreciate your time and help.
Is it happening in all your videos or just one?
This has happened to me before and the reason it happened was because there was a army 1 frame clip that was way at the end of my timeline which I had to delete and it exported normally.
@@TUFFBASS It appears to be just my first video. New to Lumafusion so what should I look for regarding that army 1 frame clip? Thanks for your help btw
As mentioned by another poster, I would check the timeline zoom in and see if there’s any random clips or something that got placed near the end. The other thing you can do is just create a whole new project and copy the footage in and see if that fixes the problem
But how to do you connect a headphone to hear the sound. A visual meter is fine but miss the sounds of birds or airplanes that you may force you to do a re-take for an interview. I can't find anybody that talks about any kind of headphone.
Thank You!
Do you think that wireless mic would work well in a motorcycle helmet?
Also I don't see the wireless microphone on the Gopro page. Would you aim me in the right direction?
I’m not sure I have never tried that, I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Depending on how much air flow is in the helmet you still may have to use the wind muff on the transmitter
Just go on Amazon and do a search for DJI Mic. It’s not a go pro product. It’s a great microphone system.
@@AirPhotography Thank You
epic video
Nice 😃
Great video and go pro? THEY ARE LAME.
I can take any external microphone and using a trs 3.5 to usb-c connect and use those microphones on my DJI OSMO ACTION 3.
Another reason, I am annoyed with Go Pro and try not to use it unless I have to vs. my much more friendly DJI OSMO ACTION 3.
G'day
Hello Sean how are you
I am great, thank you for asking, how are you?
GoPro’s are too unreliable with their microphone inputs, and if you want any half decent audio (and take the guess work out of which audio input/microphone the GoPro will randomly select) I’d steer clear of GoPro cameras.
I had the GoPro 10 with media mod and the microphone would rarely work because the GoPro would select any external microphone (sometimes front, sometimes back) except the microphone input I selected. After much back and forth discussion with 2 different GoPro representatives regarding the problem and providing evidence (I used the recommended Røde lapel microphone and ensured it was the correct jack), I sent the GoPro camera back and was sent a replacement several weeks later, but because the GoPro was so unreliable in maintaining the correct audio input, I can no longer be bothered using it as I don’t care to waste my time or footage. This is coming from a long time user having had the GoPro 7, 8, 9 and 10 and I’ve personally found they’ve have become more and more unreliable at each new release (as they rush to release a new model instead of fixing the problems with their existing models), to the point where you don’t know what you’re going to get until after you’ve filmed (expect plenty wasted footage with crackling or inaudible audio).
In contrast I have a Insta360 One X2 which I use for snowboarding and it works perfectly every time.
After researching all of these cameras with stabilizers I decided to forgo finding a stabilizer camera and just duct tape my $50 Moto g Pure to my forehead and save hundreds of dollars.
2023 and the GOPRO Hero 11 integrated mic doesn't work with webcamming....it's just wrong.
This really does go to show how overpriced and under achieving the gopro really is.
Get to the POINT !
Outstanding explaination nice 👍🏼
Super very clearly understandable
great video
Thanks!
Good setup guide for using the DJI Mic with the Hero 11. They work well together and you can get much better audio with this setup. Great video, and thanks for sharing Shawn.
Nice. I use the DJI mic with the GoPro 10 and the mod. It works well. Same set up basically from the video.
THANK YOU , I was plugging my adaptor into my mic .
It just dont work like that lol.
I tried a recording using a rode wireless go and the gopro adapter on my gopro 11 and the voice is out of sync with the video. Had a similar problem with my gopro 7 but found if I pressed record then, plugged in the mic, it synced with the video. I did the same with the 11 but it was still out of sync. Any ideas?
Im running into issues when connecting an external adapter to the go pro and it not showing up under "media mods". A quick google search shows others are having this issue. I have a Saramonic Blink 500. Currently updating Go Pro firmware to see if that works.
Update. Firmware V 2.12 Did not
I want to use the Volta with an external microphone on the GoPro Hero 11 WITHOUT having to use the Media Mod because I do not want to use the microphones of the Media Mod. How can I do that? Thanks.
Hi there, great video!! I was just wondering.. can I run an external mic and external battery from that adapter simultaneously? And if not, is there a set up that would allow me to do that for my GoPro 11 ? Thank you!!
I have the same exact set up and the rode mic DOES NOT WORK WHEN PLUGGED IN
Double check to make sure you’re using the right type of cable. There are TRS, and TRRS cables. With road cables you don’t wanna use one that has a gray end. That is for smart phones, and will not work with a Gopro. Other than that, I’m not sure what else to suggest.
My GoPro 11 is not getting connection with adaptor mod, it's only connected with media mod only.. please tell me any solution
Are you running the latest firmware? Other than that I’m not quite sure what to tell. You should just work.
And most easy way to record good sound from your setup is to record sound only with DJI transmitter-mic (they both have 8gb memory inside) and after in post production synchronize it very easy. And you don’t need to connect some cables and use these plastic boxes which takes so much time to connect and looks weird. Just don’t forget to press button on the mic and check red light indicator to be shure recording is going on!
That’s how I use GoPro 11 and DJI Mic together. Super easy, fast and I even have 2 ways of sound - 1st from DJI Mic, 2nd from GoPro camera for spare 👌
I don't get it. At 30 seconds in you say "you do need to use gopro products to make a microphone work". And at 40 seconds you say "Amazon products won't work, you have to use the gopro brand." Then at 2:07 you say, "This is the Rode video micro, it works really well because it's not overly big."
I’m referring to a Microphone adapter, not the microphone itself. In order to use a microphone with a GoPro you have to use the GoPro branded microphone adapter for the Gopro Media mod. No other microphone adapter from other brands will work. However, once you have that you can use any microphone you choose.
Good explanation how to connect Dji Mic with GoPro, so if i've understand well, to connect them we must buy separately the Media Mod and the Cable , it doesnt come with the package (Media Mod with GoPro and Cable with Dji Mic) ?
I just ordered the creator’s edition do I still need to buy this mic ?
Yes, you will need a microphone. The creators edition does not include an external mic. There are microphones built into the media mod. But ideally, you’re going to get better sound with a good third-party microphone.
is there any cable required to connect dji receiver with gopro hero 5?
does dji charging case keeps charging mics even if they are 100% charged?
The cost of the GoPro adapter is a lot, but that’s only the start of it. It’s the size that makes a difference too I don’t want a heavy cable to get a mic, nor a media mod. Even though I have both the adapter and media mod I still don’t have a perfect solution.
can we still use aamic-001 for black 11?
do you can use that mic setup and then put the power bank to for the go pro for example if u are live streaming?
hi, so i noticed you have your receiver set to +2 is that right? and why in your case? i had to set the mine to -3 i think i speak a little louder.
I Found that Sennheiser Makes a Waterproof Mic for the Hero 4 But It Does not Say if that Mic will work on The Hero 11
They Also Do Not Say if They Make other Waterproof Mics for Go Pro.
Is there Any Other Companies You know of that Makes a Waterproof Mic For GoPro hero 11 ?
Is there any way that you can recommend what job we should get so that we can afford a $329 DJI Mic? ... Actually, any wireless mic will do. Even my $50 mic.
Did not even know about the MediaMod, and this is the direction I took thanks to you!
Thanks for sharing
So the metal cage option has to keep side door off for mic? Won't battery slip out a bit?
Sir when I use adaptor and external mix and i go in preference there I don't get standard mic. There I find only N/A, Please if you know any solution tell me.
Usually in that situation, it means it’s not detecting the microphone
Hello, Sean. How strong the DJI mic holds in Go pro media mod? Will it survive shaking?
Indeed, it is actually a very tight fit. You have to put a fair amount of pressure to even get them in. I don’t think you’ll have any issues with them vibrating loose.
Thank you for answer my friend!
I'd recommend going with the Ulanzi. You have to fully break down the media mod to remove the battery. Great review as always.
I have the ulanzi as well, it's great, however you can't use filters on the gopro they won't fit
Using ulanzi is expensive because you have use another mic adaptor
I agree the media mod is crap. It makes changing the battery a complete pain in the butt. I have the media mod but never use it. Yes the Ulanzi is bigger and yes you need the mic adapter but you can change the battery without removing the cage, you can charge without removing the cage, its so much better than the media mod.
