I just got myself a MJX Bugs 8. Basic kit without fpv (optional). I just read reviews that the mjx fpv goggle not that good. Can someone recommend me alternative fpv goggle that is compatible with bugs 8 but not expensive? Do I need 3rd party camera too or the mjx ones should be good?

Find any EACHINE brand goggle at Banggood.com, they are affordable, and popular among FPV user at budget. I even bought RM150 for my guest.
Is it normal for the live view cut off (noise screen) now and then while flying, even with good goggles & good 5.8GHz fpv camera?
depends how much interference you're getting on the selected channel. typical mitigations: - try using different channels - ensure both antennas are the same type, ie: RHCP w/ RHCP. - ensure both antennas are screwed properly - get better antenna (if video degrades as you go further) - ensure vtx antenna not too close to motors.(if video degrades during punch outs)

There's a rc reviewer on youtube that got two Bugs 8 that have one sticky motor. It'll come down when the motor stuck. So that yikes! Mine too have one of the motor a bit sticky. Another youtube video by different user show that the problem was the ball bearing that was destroyed. If this is true then it is fixable at low cost but still not fun. There are other affordable brushless quad/drone that don't have this problem, so don't give me "you get what you pay for" excuse.
I don't know whether I should return mine or fixed or even upgrade the motor myself.
I'm waiting Banggod to release this new Jumper T8SG Multi-Protocol 2.4G 10CH Compact Transmitter for Flysky Frsky DSM2 Deviation Futaba.
Seems to be a very compact TX running with Deviation firmware. Same as those on Devo 7E/10/12E with a modded 4-in-1 module. Will be very good for micros and whoop as travel companion.
Seems Banggood is throwing price for this TX to flood the market. Even this TX still have some flaws that need improvement but is darn cheap not to get one. Now at $69.99 compared to official price of $99.99. I have one inbound even though I already have two modded Devo, Devo 7E and Devo 12E. Hopefully it comes in a week or so.

For those interested building a compact foldable drone smaller than DJI MAVIC using DIY parts you can download my 3d printed design the "XL-RCM 28.0 XPANDER. You can download it for free at my webpage here: https://www.supermotoxl.com/real-object-des...pv-racing-drone
It contain many parts to print and overall it 180mm rotor to rotor size, parts recommended and compatible are listed at the webpage as well. Enjoy printing.

Hey guys, everyone still flying? Some updates over my side, our local weather seems to be getting more improved. No more raining season and we have steady dry and sunny weather around here. Whipping out my ES Drifter and also its hangar buddy the Pitts back roaming FPV around the clouds. Will post video but here are some screenshots of our fine happy weather. No more murky skies.
Ah! its nice to browse around the park casually with quads, btw what flight controller you're using? F3 or F4. Build in OSD?
it's running stock FC, skyline32 basically a variation the naze32 acro. OSD as listed in description. i saw some comments in some forums that say the FC dont support OSD, just had to try it out. apparently it worked.
this is my F3 10dof machine:

Yeah saw that on 2m, showing actual coordinate. Nice locked flight.
