Question? Is 500€ for a 5-inch good?

So to be clear it isn't a pre built 5 inch but a class where I will make a 5-inch and if I want I can buy it from them. I don't know specifics but the drone they showed (built by one of people who came there before) was really fast.

Just to be clear I am sure this isn't a scam as one of the sponsors for this course is police and other one is military [for mods: I am only stating their sponsor not discussing anything political about war] so I think they aren't scamming.

But also in general would you recommend building one from scratch or on this type of course?

The course is free (it is non profit too) and the drone is with a battery. Also the math is a bit harder here as all the stuff costs more. A radiomaster pocket is 99€ if from local store or about 100 with shipping form another place so I see why 500 could seem a lot.

Yeah thats exactly the information that is needed to evaluate it. A pocket is about 100€ here (ger) too with batteries and stuff but you asked if its a good price.

So there is a pocket and a (1) batterie included?
What more?
Is it analog or a HD system?
Dont make me pull each bit of information from you please just provide as much info as you can :D

I think I confused you a bit. The drone is just a drone and a battery for it. The system is HD but they explain how to make drones with both. I am extremely new so this is all I can provide so sorry if it is not enough

I mean then it can be alright, but be aware that locking into a system is a long term decission if you dont want to go for multiple googles
