Update 2023 Is here! Things are really the same but you can buy a DJI avata which is basically ready to fly from day 1 and is decently more durable than the DJI FPV. There is also the o3 air unit which uses the dji controller 2 but if I was a noob I probably wouldn't want to invest so much money on a new system when I am not a very good pilot. If you need helping what gear you should but check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crS4j3NKQx0&t=408s&ab_channel=andyescapes

This is exactly how to get started flying FPV in 2022! This is for digital FPV and I do mention if you want to fly DJI FPV it is very simple and straightforward but hopefully this clarifies a lot when flying classic digital FPV!

I really recommend against flying analog as it has a bigger learning curve in terms of everything you need and the flight experience is not great looking through static goggle feed. I also do not recommend buying tiny drones unless you have money to spare as everything you buy before digital FPV is just an additional expense. Hence I recommend buying a digital set up only after you are committed and enjoy flying the FPV simulator.

Hypothetically if you spend enough time in the simulator and you don't crash your drone at 70km/hr you can get away with not knowing how to solder or knowing much about how drones are built for a long time. The recommendations are largely driven by buying what is best and cost effective and minimising difficult tasks to beginners such as soldering.
