Oh thank you

For a Crossfire controller, I think there’s the TBS Mambo, or else you’re looking at something else and bolting on a Crossfire TX unit.

For goggles, I will always plug the Skyzone Cobra X for a first analog pair.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

What’s your budget, and what did want to get out of the hobby? Why the BetaFPV 2S on crossfire in particular?

The reason that drone in particular is someone on FB marketplace is selling a brand new one for half price essentially rather than £120 I am getting it for £60 and I am looking to learn on and FPV drome and build my skills as I go along both as a pilot and for tinkering as well budget wise I have an additional £200 max for now I can throw at this until later down the line

You may have to be keeping eye on the second-hand market to get kitted out with that budget. Let’s see what people come up with.

However, a decent controller is always a good investment. It might be an idea to get one of those and use it to get stick time in a simulator until you can afford to get goggles.

@VenoPlonk Hey Gareth, welcome to the GADC…from a fellow Pompey resident.
Don’t fly FPV myself ( at the moment anyway ) but have plenty of experience flying Dji drones around the south coast and abroad.
You’ve made a great move by joining GADC and you will find loads of friendly people/pilots on here with a wealth of experience, knowledge and advice.
