I've been looking into the world of fpv racing and it is pretty complex. I feel like it's a hobby specifically for computer and electrical engineers because I looked up on how to get into it and I had to buy a bunch of parts, do some soldering, and program it myself with some open source software out there. One day I will get into it but the skill to get into them and even to fly them is amazing.

Duuude it is so fun. I totally hear you though, there is quite a bit to it and it can be overwhelming.

Here's my recommendation: just get this - https://emax-usa.com/products/tinyhawk-3-fpv-racing-drone-ready-to-fly-w-controller-and-goggles#

This is a "bind and fly" package with everything you need to get started, no overcomplicated systems required. This drone is actually great for learning on - it's basically all I flew for the first year, and it was a blast.

As you get better, you will naturally learn more about the hobby and how to improve on the system you are using to learn, but you really don't need to worry about that until later. Until then, this is all you really need.
