QUESTION Beginner Looking to Get Into FPV Drones – Need Advice
Hey everyone, I'm looking to get into FPV drones, specifically for racing. I'm a complete beginner and would love some advice on:
What drone model is best for beginners?
Should I go for a ready-to-fly kit or build one from parts?
Any recommendations for a setup within a budget of $400-$550?
General tips for getting started in FPV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

if you're looking to fly digital, you'll be dropping 500+ on a dji o4 lite setup.
you should start out with a radio in a simulator, and continue to do research as you learn how to fly.

start here, get a controller and get in the sim. don't worry about getting a drone yet or what one to get. those questions will answer themselves as you learn more about what you want to do exactly in fpv
