I'm curious about this and appreciate the feedback.
This is a digital FPV system for quads (drones). DJI has bundled the receiver and VTX (video transmitter) into a single device for use with their goggles and controller (remote). It doesn't include any of the other things necessary to build or fly a quad, like a frame, motors, flight controller, battery, etc. the advantage over existing systems is the fact that this system is digital whereas existing solutions are analog. You get much higher picture quality in the goggles.
Is there a reason why they include 2 cameras? One for each eye?
They sell two different combinations. I originally posted the more expensive bundle, but slick deals shared the cheaper item price. You probably want the bundle with one camera but including the controller if this is your first time.
This is really for someone who's an experienced racing drone pilot. Dji equipment is not more durable in a crash, but definitely more expensive to replace. The dji video feed is not shareable to another display; only dji goggles can display live dji fpv feed.
This dji setup is also limited to 4s lipo input. The Caddx system is smaller, lighter, and accepts 6s, which every serious pilot has already migrated to.
Plenty of small online resellers will probably match this price with a polite email. Search around before this recession puts the little guy out of business.

Two cameras is because most people have multiple drones.

Still running analog here, but this DJI system is tempting. Reviews are fantastic.
