I got the BetaFPV 65s with a decent controller and googles last week and it's a blast to explore my house as if I were a tiny fly. Highly recommended!
Ok, here comes the text tidal wave.
The best way to get into FPV flying is with a type of drone colloquially known as the Tiny Whoop. Basically people were taking a common micro quadcopter called the Blade Inductrix, upgrading the little motors, and adding a camera/video transmitter combo. Tiny Whoops live up to their name; they're palm sized and the props are fully ducted, so you can crash it into stuff and bump off walls with minimal property damage. They're pretty much strictly indoors because they are so light, but buzzing around the house is the most fun. Once the Tiny Whoop craze took off, Blade released their own FPV version of the Inductrix. It's not as featured or as speedy as a custom build from hobby grade parts, but you can get it with a controller and a screen for $180. I don't think it's a very good value, but it's the easiest name-brand way to get in the air.
You could also start with a $20 Chinese clone of the Inductrix, without any FPV gear, learn how to fly it line of sight and then upgrade it yourself. I think this is the way to go, because it comes with a barebones controller and you have the option of getting yourself an affordable FPV headset instead of being stuck with the overpriced screen that the Inductrix FPV bundle comes with. Using a screen on the controller does the job, but it's vastly inferior to having the video goggles on your head.
These aren't for taking nice pictures or HD video. These little things are strictly for experiencing flight. They transmit analog video signals over 5.8ghz, so the image is low resolution but the latency is extremely low compared to drones that transmit video over WiFi (like Jeff's drone).
There are quality hobby-grade kits like the Acrobee or prebuilt like the Beta65S, but these end up being a greater investment if you don't already have a radio and a headset. The performance from these would be the best out of all I've mentioned so far though.
Lastly, I stumbled accross this cheap bundle that has everything for $99. I can't speak for the quality or capabilities of this version, but damn the price is right. I wish we had this when I was starting a couple years ago.
