As you can clearly see from the close ups, the whole so called shotgun mic on the Media Mod is designed to give the impression of it being a microphone that it isn't. While I've already made a video proving that electronically and physically this microphone can't possibly be a shotgun mic, as GoPro say it is on the box for the Media Mod. This video shows that it can't even be a cardioid microphone and the actual mic capsules in the Media Mod can't possibly reproduce the cardioid response, or polar pattern characteristics of a cardioid microphone. It's very important to understand that a microphone which is designed for vlogging, as this mic on the Media Mod is supposed to be, has to be at least a cardioid type mic. A cardioid mic will pick up more of what is in front of it, as in a person's voice who's vlogging, and will reject more of the sounds to the side and rear of the mic. This cardioid characteristic is obviously something that helps to focus attention on a person's voice who's vlogging/talking directly in front of the camera/microphone. The omni- directional capsules used in the Media Mod will in no way create a cardioid response, no matter how much DSP phase manipulation may be being applied and processed inside the Media Mod. As we can clearly see, the whole physical look to that microphone compartment on the Media Mod, is in my opinion designed to give the impression that the mic is at least a cardioid one. Again, and this is just my opinion, I think that this design was a deliberate decision on the part of GoPro to give the impression that the microphone was cardioid and therefore going to be a great asset to vloggers or anyone wanting to focus on sound in front of the Hero 8 and Media Mod. With all that said, I do like that fact that the Media Mod allows you to connect external mics and mount the mics via its cold shoes. this does create a very neat solution, if not cumbersome in other ways. I will be doing a video at some point using the Ulanzi G8-5 Vlogging case with the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter and comparing to the Hero 8 with the Media Mod.
