I don't have an F5 but can tell you that it will do well in the dry sand. In the wet saltwater sand however it will false like crazy. You can turn down the sens a lot but it will still false.

Thx for replies, so as long as I stay in the dry sand it will be manageable. What model of whites would be good to take, since i have a friend with a couple.
