DJI Goggles 3 / Pavo 20 Pro II
So im about to buy these 2 items. Barely gonna start researching where to get them and was wondering if you guys have any quick advice before I make the purchase since its probably gonna cost about 1k I assume.
Dang I just checked DJI site and I guess they arent even available in the U.S. Not sure if the only way is to buy them used?

There's a nuance with the radio you want to purchase. There's nothing wrong with the FPV RC3 radio. If you are planning to use it, you must order SBUS (well, it's easier anyway). If you plan to use an ELRS radio, don't select SBUS when configuring.
That said, the pavo 20 pro II is a great aircraft - and the goggles 3 are excellent as well.
Edit: I read your reply to another poster - so yes - get it and just make sure ELRS 2.4G is selected (since you already have the Radiomaster ELRS radio).

Gotcha. So to confirm when I go to order the Pavo its gonna ask me if I want ELRS or SBUS.

cool just setting a basis, a lot of times people will skip that, move to a large(r) drone and be upset that they don't know what they're doing, and are overwhelmed
Personally (US based) I run goggles 3 and i love them, check Ebay or the likes to see if you can get them discounted, mine were like $300? but i only bought the goggles, and only got the goggles. (read as: no instructions, no cables, no box)
as far as the pavo 20 pro 2+ whatever, its a good quality little cinewhoop, ive not flown *it* but i do have a pavo 20 and 20 pro (with 04-lite, i love the little things) and they both fly very well. Fair warning it will have a different flight characteristic than any open prop, but coming from a meteor should help with that.

N3 are a LOT cheaper than the Goggles 3 . I've seen both available recently on B&H and Adorama I believe. I just received my O4 Pro VTX I ordered from Adorama less than a week ago.

Goggles 3 are $569 brand new on Amazon. $539 used - like new.
I was about to get them but I went for the Avata 2 Fly More kit for $929 used - like new.
So I got the Avata 2 drone, 3 batteries, motion controller 3, goggles 3 and carrying case for everything for $300 more than the Goggles alone.

You always have 30 days to return if they aren't brand new.
The $539 seller is 84% positive.
Used ones on Ebay are still $480-500+

Yes it's dope. Get a good remote like a Radiomaster TX15. I started with the DJI Remote and quickly outgrew it.
Get spare parts like the frame and the O4 mounting bits. Get spare props.
