Dont forget batteries for the radio as well as charger for the drone batteries.

[pseudo raptor]

I would swap the goggles for Skyzone Cobra X

[deep wadi]

if you have budget for them, they are better.

as for the radio, be careful to get the ELRS variant 🙂

[toxic grove]

Is 2x the value worth the difference?

[vast dew]

The drone battery charger is in there

[gaunt hull]

Yes

[toxic grove]

for which features

[gaunt hull]

Far far better screens and vrx, it's also much shorter/smaller so much more comfy too

And the dvr is also far superior

[toxic grove]

i dont know

its gonna be my first drone so

i find it quite expensive

[gaunt hull]

Yeah but if you get the cobra x now, you won't have a 100$ paper weight in 3 month when you end up getting the cobra x to upgrade from the rather crappy ev800d

[toxic grove]

really ?

is there something between ev800d and cobra

[wicked turtle]

No

Well the cobra s

[gaunt hull]

It's shit

[wicked turtle]

Basically

[gaunt hull]

The cobra s really aren't particularly good

[wicked turtle]

Buy once cry once

[toxic grove]

if i wont ever need any other goggle when i buy cobra that makes sense but its still hard to decide

[gaunt hull]

For analog goggles you either have the ev800d who's only quality is that they display an analog feed, or the cobra x v2/4 that is just some 04x pro but cheaper and box goggles, or you can go with much more expensive goggles like the 04x pro or the HDZ goggles

[wicked turtle]

Never is a long time, you might want digital in a year

[gaunt hull]

I would strongly recommend you get the cobra x v4, it's a much better experience and an excellent value

(Or you could go with the goggles L and do walksnail, but that would lock you with expensive walksnail vtx)

(tho cobra x v4->goggles L is a great upgrade path imo, you keep the cobra x v4 and you can do both analog and walksnail so you can still have cheaper quads)

[wicked turtle]

(And walksnail is, imo, still kinda heavy for a 75mm whoop)

[gaunt hull]

(you can make very good walksnail 75mm, but yeah, nothing beats a nice light analog whoop)

[toxic grove]

all that future plan is great but im not even sure if im gonna continue upgrade my gear or continue fpv

[gaunt hull]

Did you already get the radio btw ?

[toxic grove]

nope

[wicked turtle]

🥳

[gaunt hull]

Then just get the radio and play around in the simulator for now

[toxic grove]

but i have a lil exp on simulator

[gaunt hull]

So you know you like fpv before spending 400$ getting into the hobby

[wicked turtle]

There are better options then the zorro no?

[gaunt hull]

Radio choice is largely subjective, but I would pick a boxer over the zorro any day

[wicked turtle]

Pocket,boxer,tx12

[gaunt hull]

The pool noodle/tx12 isn't great

[wicked turtle]

Ive heard alot of negative stuff about the zorro though

[gaunt hull]

I would recommend the t15/t14/t20 goo

[gaunt hull]

Yeah, built in tx is weak, gimbals are tiny, radio is still fairly big (same size as the boxer), battery life is pathetic without an external 18650 pack for even more bulk

[toxic grove]

im sure to spend 400 but im not sure to spend another 150 to upgrade only goggle

[gaunt hull]

The goggles/equipment is half the experience

[wicked turtle]

Verrerrrrery true

[toxic grove]

that makes sense

the screen quality is no big deal for me but

[toxic grove]

if you are fr about that lifetime for ev800d

ill strongly consider cobra

[gaunt hull]

But the dvr/comfort/receiver upgrade is huge (and the screen upgrade is really nice, even if you don't think it is)

[toxic grove]

it probably is but

its gonna be my first experience so lifetime is more important for me

but seriously if ev800d gonna be crap in 3 months

i have no doubts about buying another one

[gaunt hull]

I'm not saying that they will break in 3months, but you will want to upgrade from them fairly fast

[wicked turtle]

The internal battery will last 2 weeks

Tbh

[toxic grove]

there is no good option other than cobra x

right?

[deep wadi]

in regards to the EV800D

the first mod that everyone should do

is to take the front apart

take the battery out

and yeet it for distance

then, with a bit of soldering and one hole on the side, you can convert them to external battery only

makes them so much less of a pain

[gaunt hull]

That's not a lot more expensive

[toxic grove]

damn

imma buy cobra

does cobra have any offical website ?

[blazing anchor]

why did you create the thread twice 😭

[toxic grove]

lil bit of change in the equipments
