Does anyone do anything with fpv drones? I'm very intrigued with the long range micro fpv drones for tactical larping purposes. Ultimately I'd like to set up a little backpack kit with 1-2 drones, goggles, batteries, and an external viewer.

I already have a controller/radio coming but I'm kinda lost on the whole goggles front. I assume that whatever goggle you buy has to match the ecosystem of the video transmitter that the drone uses. What's the best out there for long range clear pictures?

The DJI stuff looks like it has the absolute best image quality, but it's a closed system and kinda hard to get due to tarriffs.

I thought about analog but the image quality is pretty dogshit, though the price point makes it kind of intriguing.

Given a $6-800 budget, what should I buy?

Been years since I was into it but fat shark always had the best

To get around the tariff stuff check places like facebook marketplace or craigslist. There always seems to be people selling drones there.

I don't have any experience with FPV drones, I have been wanting to get/build one for ages but the million other projects and real life stuff getting in the way has kept me from getting one. Ill be interested to see what others say here.

I have a DJI Mini … 3? Dunno. Wife bought it at Costco. I use it all the time and it absolutely rocks. Used it for fun and even land surveying. Pretty darned good range. I’m sure there are better ones out there but it works very well and is quite affordable. Also folds down in to a pretty small package.

Can concur, I don't own one, but friend does and have used. And even the DJI mini 2 is still good and camera is quite non-potato.
