I am flying sim (liftoff) right now and I just want a small/cheap drone to practice indoors (and eventually outdoors). Goal is to be skilled enough to fly and take pics and videos on a farm. No racing, tricks etc.

I see the original Air75 is now discontinued/out of stock. The new one comes in three types: champion, racing and freestyle.

Which version do I get?

I haven’t considered goggles at all. Or which drone to buy later on. I have an old Holystone that can take pics and video and I’ll be flying that for a while first. It’s really more about the skill for me and then filming the property for fun.

The Air75 I thought would be just a fun and cheap step between sim and the Holystone until I am skilled enough and it’s summer (I am in Canada, winters are long).

Ah, ok. Line-of-sight flying and FPV flying are two different skills (line of sight being arguably harder) that don't really transfer much to one another.
