I hung mine in a tree on the silly blade guards. Got it down with a 12' chunk of lumber. When it hit the ground, one of the ends snapped clean off (last 1.5" off one spoke, including the motor....). Urg. Be careful how you get it down. CA seems to have fixed it up - flew again tonight.
This is seriously fun. Starting to think about building my own, something bigger and more durable that can loft a camera/gimbal. Looking right now to find a solution that is powerful enough to still be fun to fly, but won't break the bank. HobbyKing has a couple of kits that look pretty nice for someone just getting into the hobby.
Actually, if you don't already own a 2.4GHz TX (aka, "controller") there are cheaper-than-build-it-yourself routes. I'm going by your servo controlled gimballed camera requirement which, unless it's a gimballed Mobius, requires something sized like this
extremely popular
GPS quad, an open-source firmware, much less expensive DJI Phantom clone:

It's been around for over a year and has a
huge following. A new version, the CX-22, is rumored to be out soon which might mean a clearance sale of CX-20s. The LCD RX unit, camera, and gimbal shown will be optional accessories:
EDIT: A much lower cost alternative with heavy lift capability but without the servo gimbal or GPS is the extremely popular Tarantula X6:

Size of the X6 compared to a Syma X5C (and your clone of it):

With a great, new GoPro camera clone that's much cheaper than a GoPro:

EDIT: Had to add this because the photo is so good and shows the Xiaomi Action Camera mounted and a clever landing leg extension mod using the plastic portion of wall anchors that are even color matched:
