BETAFPV - Pavo20 Pro

I really like my pavo20 pro

It most certainly does.

The pavo 20 pro is a great option BETAFPV Drone https://a.co/d/9RtbWfM You need to buy the o3 unit separately but this combo would work with your V2 Goggles

I have the pavo 20 pro and while it's a great drone I think it's probably too big / powerful for inside use especially for someone just starting out. I would go something 1s or 2s for inside use.

I‘d say pavo 20 pro with o4 lite and goggles 3 Edit: Or cinelog25v2 with o4 pro

I ordered a Pavo 20 Pro and the O4 lite. Seems to fit your description.

It most certainly does NOT feel like a 5 inch though. Whoops almost never do, if you want to freestyle build a toothpick in that size range. Yes you CAN freestyle the Pavo 20 Pro but you’re going to sacrifice a lot just for a whoop when better alternatives exist in dedicated freestyle frames.

I have a Pavo 20 pro and a Pavo pico that I fly indoors, I just drop the rates and the throttle and they’re totally fine

The Pavo femto, pico, and even up to the Pavo 20 Pro are in a weird spot where they have SO much power its hard to use inside unless you know what you're doing, but so small that outdoors you have to have a near perfectly windless day to enjoy using them. I like mine because indoors I'm just doing real estate walk through stuff, and I can use it outdoors when it's nice out.

Love my Pavo 20 Pro, but its wayyy more cinematic flying. I do a little bit of freestyle, but no drone this small is going to have that instant power of a 3.5 or 5in

Something like the pavo20 pro or pavo25 v2 are usable indoors going slowly, but it takes a LOT to control it and definitely isn't something you just pick up and do. They are also then small enough that for outdoors, unless there is 0 wind, you're fighting the wind most of the time and kinda ruin the fun. Unless you KNOW this is the right setup for you, (like real estate fly through stuff) you should go 3in+ outdoor only, and something smaller indoors only.

Pavo 20 Pro or Pavo Pico. Though the former is a much better option.

Budget? Imho - pavo20 pro, cca 100$ without vtx, or avionrc ikon 2.5 max, cca 220-ish also without vtx. For vtx DJI is the king now, the new stack is bonkers. Stick time is the no1 rule in the hoby so you should fly, than you will break things and eventualy learn to rebuild them (this is the way). And yeah, wellcome to the airspace, we are the birds now. :)

to make it even cheaper, order all parts off of ali (not radio or goggles). I got a pavo20 pro for 75$ when it was 100-130 in normal stores.

I got the pavo20 pro and it was hard to handle for my noob self. Got an Air65 and happy

Pavo20 pro is good but the Draknight is better

Flylens 85 I have the Pavo20 and like it but the Flylens 85 is lighter.

For the goggles 2 you can use any O3-compatible drone to establish the video signal. Then the radio link from the controller to the drone will depend on which system you prefer (this is independent from DJI). So you can go ELRS (many drones are O3 ready and ELRS, so you can easily get an ELRS controller like the radio master boxer or pocket and those also work well with simulators). For O3 compatible drones there are a bunch so it depends on what you want. Want something small for cruising? Get a small cine whoop like the Flylens85 or the Pavo20 (which I own); if you want smaller there is the Mobula8/pavo pico/darkstar20. All of those have good reviews so you can’t go wrong with any of them. Want something slightly bigger, the Cinebot25 is popular. Want long range? Flywoo explorer LR4 comes to mind. If you don’t mind going over 250g you will find dozens of other options, and more acro and long range drones.
