FPV Drones

[1gratedulflyingdawg]

I’m 70 and looking i to FPV flying to share with my wife’s for strictly recreation, don’t want to get a 107 license unless I have to. No problem with the other testing and registration for recreational flying. I was thinking of an Avata 2 Fly More 3 battery Combo. I’ve got .75 of an acre so room to learn how to fly around. That’s also one of the things I want to be able to do is surveillance of my property as it’s not all viewable from the house.
I live in Arizona and from what I’ve read I won’t be flying when it’s much over 100.
I was also thinking about the Mini 4 Pro 3 battery combo + googles which says it handles the wind better but it does have a lot of technology I don’t think I would ever use.
My question is with FPV goggles would the camera on the mine 4 pro be visually superior over the Avata 2?
Also do you more experienced pilots have any suggestions. Price limit $2K max, max, max.
Thanks

NO

The avata 2 would be an outstanding choice for you......Now by FPV what do you mean exactly just flying around checking stuff out with the Googles or "Bando", flying some gaps and doing flips style FPV.... with both of those the AVATA 2 is still your best choice..However: If you want to go fast and do tricks in manual mode your first Drone should be a SIM.
There are some things you will need to get used too, Flying with googles takes a little break-in time for your body to adjust. and if you want to fly manual, well that's a whole nother animal right there!
Get the Avata 2 You will be thrilled with it!

I would love to go fast, used to ride sportbikes but something has happened in my brain and I think going too fast could make me sick. Can’t watch drone racing on my iPad for too long. Thank you for your help now I need to figure out who has a Avata 2 c0mbo with 3 batteries available for sale at the best price.

I will caution you that for at least the first 3 times you use your googles you will get nauseous, It just happens and everyone goes thru it. There are those that never get over this its rare to not adjust, If after a dozen flights you are still feeling ill you may not be able to use your googles for long.BUT don't give up keep useing them!

Yea I’m sure it will affect me. I hope I can over come it but filming and watching is just not the same or watching on a screen you can’t see very well.
I appreciate you sharing that information.

Just make sure you know, FPV is not legal (currently) without a spotter whether it's on your property or not. Would that stop me? I shall plea the 5th.
