While this is a fun drone, it's big, it's loud, and the battery does not last long.
For the price of getting your goggle, controller, drone, and batteries you could have an Avata 2

It's smaller than a Mavic so it's not the biggest drone out there. While it's screaming across the sky, I don't think you can really see or feel how big it is. It's not loud, it screams. I have 10 batteries so not having long battery life is not a big deal especially when one lasts enough time to have a lot of fun.
If you already have the FPV and yours is banged up and on it's last legs, this might be good for you since the last thing you want to do is buy the whole kit again. Few years ago I bought the drone-only with no battery for $250 and I'm ready to activate it today after my original has finally died. Not sure if this one comes with a battery but it has a Camrise warranty and aftermarket warranty so that's good.
One crash and your cooked had a bad prop sheer toast
I've had a dozen crashes before mine finally kicked the bucket. Each time I was able to piece it back together until finally it wouldn't hold GPS and therefore I couldn't take off. This listing comes with Camrise warranty and Allstate aftermarket so that helps.
I have the Mavic 3 Pro, Avata 2, and this. This is a significantly bigger and more powerful drone compared to the Avata, but it is smaller than the Mavic. It's much louder and much more noticeable, but the tradeoff is the extra speed and pop you get. The Avata 2 is more tame, quieter, and lasts longer.
Having batteries doesn't really change that this lasts a much shorter amount of time, because you don't realize how annoying it is bringing it in every 5-7 minutes (when you're really getting after it) versus a battery that lasts 15 minutes. I have 7 batteries for the FPV vs 3 for the Avata 2, and I tend to gravitate to the Avata more.
I will also say that the goggles you get with the Avata 2 are so far superior that it's sad they are not reverse compatible.
Finally, make sure you get the braces if you buy this or own this. It makes it significantly stronger.
At the end of the day, this is a very fun drone. But, if you're starting fresh there is an Avata 2 Fly Smart kit for $745 on eBay with three batteries. It is really hard to not just point you at that, since three batteries+goggle+a controller will cost you the same or more.
Not the worst price for a replacement drone, though.
