Any recommendations for a good beginner setup?

buy a Wizard X220 off banggood.com.

It's the best value for money starter racing quad you can get. I bought it for my first drone and it's just as capable as anything you can build for twice the money.

Start off with the $15 cheapies like the E10 and solder a small TX03 camera onto it followed by Lizard95 and similar sized drones and then onto larger 180-250 size drones like the Wizard x220s.

For the goggles I'd recommend the Eachine VRD2 if you're cheap or Aomway Commander if you want low profiles.

All can be found on banggood.

This one? https://tinyurl.com/ybkbuma7

Is this the same as the Cheerson Cx-10 that the site recommends?
