GoPro Media Mod Worth the Investment? Enhancing Audio with Microphones on the Hero 10 and 11 [2023]

Getting to know new gear is important and knowing what modes are actually an improvement even more so. With the Media Mod I wanted to know if the mic is actually better than the GoPro itself, how the RAW audio processing works, and if external microphones are worth it. Oh, and I tested the HDMI connection as well!
