I am new to quadcopters. on disability and looking for a hobby.

Take a look at one of these, I have had it for a year now, the only problem I had is I charged it once with a 5A USB (should be 1A) input and it cooked the internal charging system in the camera, easy fix, Radio Shack external charger ($29), also bought 3 extra batteries ($3.99 ea / China ) video is awesome, have a Go pro as well, can't see the difference other than some extra bells & whistles on the GP.

what is the transmission distance
If it's "wifi" you're limited to about 100ft. You also take the chance of "crosstalk" between your FPV and your control transmitter(both operate at 2.4ghz). Whether it's a standalone system or not, your FPV system should work at 5.8ghz.
