I was actually REALLY close to getting a Syma X5C-1 instead, because you can start/stop video from the controller. With the Hubsan, I have to press a button on the quad itself to turn the camera on/off. But I also figured I was going to be doing most of my flying indoors with this drone - the smaller size and zippiness (for improving my piloting) for indoor flying is what turned the tide. Losing video on/off was a small tradeoff for me because I'd only be recording occasionally.
