As the title says I’ve wanted to get into drones for some time and build my own. Recently figured I’d buy the controller and learn on sims first, but damn the controller seems so expensive since last time I checked.
I was told to go for the best for future proof and landed in TX16S Mark II Max Radio Controller (M2) but at £250 I don’t think I can justify that as the goggles will be expensive too although drone parts should be more reasonable. But what if I get bored etc.

I got the radiomaster pocket elrs for less than 60€, 6 months in and still very happy with it. I don’t see myself needing anything better any time soon. Everything together, I spent about 750€. But if you go with analog, you can get it down to 550 or so.
