    I was thinking the session as its a bit less and I like the shape .Does it do just about everything the Hero does ??

    It doesn’t track (no GPS).
    But I think everything else is the same as in video/picture quality.
    Since I already have the session, I’d wait for myself a session with GPS, if they make one. I like the size and weight and really compact you know.

    I have the hero 6 and love it especially the voice commands but I believe the 5 does that as well. My wife bought it for me with a boat load of mounting options and accessories which at first I thought were overkill but have grown to appreciate the different mounting options. I don’t particularly like to hold the sticks for filming but I do like the helmet mount and board mounts. So really any of the go pros are good to me, it is the post processing time and effort that makes the biggest difference when everything is said and done. My 2 cents. Enjoy.

    You can get a chest mount too!
    Or board mount...
    Lots of option and you can be creative too if you'd like.

    Yeah, if you don’t need the gps, the session hero5 is the way to go!

    I love Key West and you should be able to skate around it a few times before conching out :). As for the Go Pro, the 5 is waterproof so you can get some underwater shots to add to your skating videos. I love the gulf side. The mount accessory pack the wife got me came with a float handle for water along with the chest mount jaromi15 mentioned. I haven’t been to the Keys since the hurricane last year but keep bugging her to go. I hope you have a great time. Skate On!
