Hi!
I’m just getting into fpv, I’ve been flying a TinyWhoops for three months now and I’m starting to get the hang of it and really enjoying it, so I’d like to build my own 5 inch.

However, I currently have DJI Goggles V2 (which aren’t compatible with the O4), and I’m not sure if it’s worth upgrading my goggles to mount an O4 directly onto my 5 inch, or if I should mount my 5 inch with a DJI O3 instead.

Tell me whats better please :)

Hey everyone! I’m 19, based in France, have about 30h on simulators (Velocidrone) and I’m ready to fly real drones. I found 3 deals on the French equivalent of Craigslist and would love your input before buying.

Important note : I’m NOT looking for a 5” right now. I want to start small, get comfortable with the hobby, break less stuff, and then build my own 5” from scratch once I’m confident enough.

Deal 1 — Yoann | 700€ (~$760)

•	DJI FPV Goggles V2

•	RadioMaster Tango 2 Pro

•	BetaFPV 3” HD

•	Full tool kit (soldering iron, multimeter, screwdrivers…)

•	Expert dual charger + splitter

•	10x 6S LiPo + 1x 4S LiPo (offered for free)

✅ Everything included, ready to fly

✅ Seller very transparent about LiPo condition

Deal 2 — Luc | 800€ (~$870) without the 5”

•	DJI Goggles 2 (newer, micro-OLED)

•	RadioMaster Boxer MAX ELRS

•	2x BetaFPV Air 65 tinywhoop (1 disassembled but functional)

•	Several LiPo

•	No charger, no tools

✅ Goggles 2 are superior

❌ Missing charger + tools (~100€ extra)

❌ One tinywhoop in pieces

Deal 3 — Lucas | TBD

•	DJI Goggles Integra x2 (brand new) + Motion Controller → 399€

•	BetaFPV Meteor 75 Pro O4 → 270€

•	RadioMaster Boxer MAX ELRS

•	Full tool kit + chargers + LiPo

•	Still negotiating the full sub-bundle price

✅ Meteor 75 Pro O4 is a great beginner outdoor drone

✅ Everything brand new

❌ Pricing per item seems high

❌ Motion Controller useless for freestyle FPV

My questions :

1.	Between Goggles V2 and Goggles 2/Integra — is the upgrade worth the extra cost for a beginner?

2.	Any experience with the BetaFPV 3”, Air 65 or Meteor 75 Pro as a first drone?

3.	Tango 2 Pro vs Boxer MAX ELRS — which would you recommend for a beginner planning to eventually self-build a 5”?

4.	Am I missing anything obvious in these deals?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Btw I used Claude to write all this so it would be clearer.
