DJI FPV Combo to BabyHawk II HD

Ok, I have the DJI FPV combo and I love it. But I've crashed it a few times and I'm getting a bit scared I'm going to wreck it eventually. I really want a cheaper, replaceable drone that I can use with this excellent digital system.

The BabyHawk 2 HD looks perfect but I don't know if it's compatible with the controller and headset that came with the DJI FPV Combo.

Can anyone recommend a setup for me? If I need a new controller that's ok, but hopefully I can use the same goggles! I just don't know what to get. Help is appreciated, thanks!

Bummer about the controller, but glad the goggles work.

I'll read up on the TX options. Thanks!

the controller won't work but the google V2 are compatible with air unit in digital drones. You can either buy the DJI V1 controller which work with the air unit and you will get decent range out of that but if you think you will want to do some long range flying I would recommend to go straight for something compatible with crossfire or ELRS.

Thanks for letting me know.

First I've heard of ELRS.. long range sounds pretty enticing. Especially considering there's a battery pack for the Babyhawk that will last for a reported 20min of cruising.

ELRS or express LRS. It’s an open source protocol that was released just recently.

I'm pretty sure the goggles and the controller can both work for Babyhawk 2 HD. I purchased the quad from this vendor and went with crossfire option but they offer DJI option so I was under the assumption that DJI controller can be compatible:

I think only the DJI FPV v1 controller works. It seems like the FPV Combo controller does not (though it sounds like maybe DJI was going to fix that, so it's possible).
