72 The video quality is adequate. FPV video isn't any better than an old analogue TV - it's about speed of transmission, not quality.
The camera you listed is OK. You won't be able to fit it into the Inductrix FPV though as it's way too heavy.
These kind of toy craft are a great introduction to FPV. You'll probably get about 150 yards range which is more than enough. Flying outside in anything else than the lightest of wind is not something I'd recommend. These little guys weigh around 25g, including battery, so any significant breeze will just carry it away.
Understand also that the brushed motors they use are to be viewed as consumable items. A motor might last 4 hours or it might last 14. They rarely last more than that.

388 If you are looking for HD video, you will be disappointed. You will never get perfectly clean video. Choppiness is part flying FPV. The power on your VTX, antenna, your VRX, where you fly will determine smoothness of the video stream.
As far as a camera with 1000tvl, most vtx can't even come close to broadcast that resolution. Let alone your goggles having the resolution to display it.
I find a little breeze usually knock these brushed quad around a lot.

24 If you are going to get a whoop, the inductrix is a very expensive option, and realistically brushless micro's have started to get much cheaper recently. In my opinion, the main reason to get a whoop is that 1s batteries are cheaper and quicker to charge giving you more flight time to practice flying in acro mode, I have a bat-100 on it's way to me now, it is a 1s brushless micro weighing in at an astoundingly low 30g, maybe 40g all up with RX and battery fitted. The bat doesn't have any prop guards and with its extremely low weight, adding after market prop guards might affect flight performance quite heavily. This is my
preview article of the Bat, I will be updating with a full review, probably in about a month, I am in South Africa and shipping out here takes ages... This is one of only a few 1s brushless models and because of the design resembling a proper racing frame, I expect that it will not be so effected by wind as whoop style frames, the ducts can kind of act like sails in a breeze.
The Lizard 95 is priced similarly to the bat and I think runs 2s and 3s batteries, Kaitylynne has been very happy with her's, see the discussion and her thoughts on this
thread.
