23 Hi Folks....
Am thinking about getting a GoPro, not so much for FPV, but more for general filming of flights and filming during hikes to some of the places I would like to fly. Is the GoPro Hero 6 worth the extra money? The 5 is stretching the budget a bit as it is and the 6 would be even more so, but I don't want to get something and realize after the fact I should have sprung for the 6. Would appreciate any thoughts.

That is unless you already have a gimbal - in this case it doesn't matter that much
Thanks Konrad. Not looking to fly it, but as you said....for everything else...... Do you know if it has a macro mode? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.....

For ordinary shooting probably the Hero 6
Thanks Oscar....I use a Runcam 2 for FPV, but I do like the Session 5. If I decide to replace the The RC2, I'll take a look at the Session.

23 You're right, it is a good value, but for what I am going to do with this, I think the LCD screen on this would be useful. I don't think the Session has one, does it? Not that I can find anyway. When I replace the Runcam, I will defiantly give the session a look. Thanks voodoo!
