Personally I'd get the black over the silver. Way more shooting modes, and the black can record at 60mb/s while the silver tops out at 45. The silver can only do 4k@15fps too, while the black does 30fps. You will also not really use the LCD on the silver unless you are going to be using it outside of your drone use.
