New to FPV: Recommendations for a Drone Without DJI Neo

I wouldn't generally recommend a DJI drone for FPV stuff anyway (outside of maybe the Avata or Avata 2). I'd recommend starting with tiny whoops (something like a Meteor 65, 75, 85) since they're significantly lighter and more forgiving as you 100% are going to crash a lot at first. Once you're comfortable, move up to something like a 3.5" or 5" - there's a ton of decent BNF options out there.
