So I just deposited my 7 in Davy Jones locker. Seems like the newer models have some nice advances with stabilization and battery.
For use with a mouth mount what advice can any of you fellow video'ers send my way?

I have the 10 and its a nice unit, stabilised footage is good plus Hig Def is nice if you need it, battery life is OK.

Personally, I became frustrated with GoPro and have switched to DJI Action 2. It has the same form factor as the GoPro Session - which I thought was great but they discontinued it. I have not tried it yet...

Thanks cSe!
My last Sessions5 died yesterday... been trying all day to recover it but it has passed on to a blank stare Universe.

The Hero8 I bought a few years ago, was horrible as a "Hat Cam".... too big, too heavy. Bouncy footage and the camera kept smashing into my face on hard wipeouts. Controls were harder to manage in the surf.... I used it 2 times and it has been gathering dust for years without use. Sooooo, I kept buying used Sessions, but yesterday my searching found one for $759 - that's not happening!

While I don't use the footage from it a lot, it is invaluable to catch my candid thoughts on a new board, or filming flat-water adventures.
My Kook Hat needs a new tiny cam.... and this DJI A2 looks like just the thing!!! Thank You my friend!!

Bye bye Sessions5... you have been an amazing friend all these years!

Thanks all for your replies. With what you have said I haven plunged back into researching youtubers, I start to narrow It down. For my purposes, probably an 8 or 9. Thanks Rick, I had remembered you not being pleased with the larger size of the 8. I think the mouth mount might work as it's a firmer mount. The 10 seems to be only slight upgrade with the faster processor heating and using more battery. A couple of months away from new Hero11 and a new Session release but prices will for sure be pumped and probably more then I need.
