For those of you without $1300 to spend on an FPV drone, you can pick up a pretty decent package for about $250ish: https://betafpv.com

As a new Mavic Mini owner, the one feature I'm craving for is FPV.

If you add up the costs of Nazgul5 HD (probably the cheapest BNF 5 inch HD kwad worth buying), DJI FPV goggles, a controller that you won’t outgrow in a month (either Radiomaster TX16s or Tango2), a charger, parallel board, lipos, a sim to practice acro, etc. you’ll probably reach something awfully similar to that $1300 price tag.
Personally, I would start with something like this ($130): https://betafpv.com/products/fpv-whoop-racing-starter-kit-2

As opposed to replicating the package and capability of what DJI sells.
