Instead of a phone holder, the v950HD version offers two large right shoulder buttons for taking photos and starting/stopping video. Video drones are more about stability than speed, and the v950 does a decent job of providing a steady platform for the camera. Most larger controllers that use phones or tablets include the option to hang them around your neck for more comfortable use, but the v950 doesn't offer this option. When I attached a Google Nexus 5X, the controller had a tendency to tip forward, meaning I had to keep a tighter grip on it, which became uncomfortable after a couple of minutes.

The weight of the phone also makes the controller feel rather unbalanced. Four AAA batteries fit into a cavity under a panel on the back of the controller, but batteries aren't included. A single shoulder button puts the drone into stunt mode. It includes two control sticks surrounded by trim buttons, a single power button and a slider for the sensitivity of the controller. The v950's controller is a small device, similar to an Xbox controller.

This is a standard size and type, but it is not easy to swap, as the battery is secured behind part of the case that's held in place by a screw that has to be removed.

The drone runs on a small, 650-mAh, lithium-ion polymer battery that fits into the back of the case.

The v950STR version does not include this all of the video is streamed to, and recorded on, your phone through the Sky Viper Video Viewer app, which is available for iOS and Android devices. On the v950HD version, a microSD card (up to 32GB) plugs into the back of the camera to store the HD video. You can't use the camera elsewhere, though, as the drone's battery powers it.

This 720p camera is connected to the main body by a loose cable and is secured by a simple latch, which means you can easily remove the camera if you want to fly without it.
