Welcome to the forum!
Based on your question I had to take note of your self proclaimed "newbie" status. I am assuming that when you say newbie, you are in fact a virtual-never-ever pilot, right? Nothing wrong with that. But it is important that you have to understand the rules of UAV (drone) flying.
One of the requirements of flying is that you must keep your drone within VISUAL LINE OF SIGHT (VLOS). That means, that you, the pilot must be able to see the drone itself with your unaided eyes. As soon as you put
goggles you are in violation of that regulation unless you have a spotter (lookout person) who can maintain VLOS for you to inform you of any potential issues in flight.
But then there's your stated proposed distance of 2000'. Even with strobes,
during the day the farthest you would be able to fly and truly keep your Mini in sight would be no more than 1600'
unobstructed. And that's with strobes mounted on it (500 lumens or better). I've not tested VLOS range without strobes so I don't have an anecdotal distance to cite, but it's got to be a heck of a lot closer than 1600'. So, even with a spotter at your side you should be aware of the distance that your drone can be seen. Personally, if you're truly a newbie I'd advise you to skip the
goggles- at least until you get this flying thing down. JMO
Good luck.
