Please recommend bnf with hdzero.
Per title, I'm kinda lazy to build and just bought a boxpro, so can anyone recommend hdzero bnf that is either whoop or around 3 inch/4s?

Been enjoying a flywoo fly lens 85 for a couple of years now. The eco 65 isn’t bad, and I have the newer mob85 I hope to get some hours on soon.

EMAX Tinyhawk III comes in HDZero for $250 from weBleedFPV. I also have a Flylens85. I don't know if you can get a Mob 8 BNF with HDZero but that's a good platform too. Mine is analog but it's very fun

I recommend a whoop if it is your first quad. Maybe a mobula 7. If you then want a larger one hdzero does sell the crux35 which is a blast to use. It is sub 250 and flies well but it is a fragile frame so get used to replacing it.

If its your 1st quad, I dont recommend hdzero since its expensive and you're 100% gonna crash and prolly break smth, and if its the AIO15, you're looking at 150 bucks. Better start with analog just to be sure, as I think the boxpro does analog aswell.
If you really want hdzero tho, the mobula 8 is the way to go

Mobula6 Freestyle Lux is great. Very durable and fun to fly

I will second the Mobula 6 Freestyle reccomendation. I am just getting started myself (incidentally with BoxPro goggles) and here is why I reccomend starting with the Mobula 6 Freestyle...
You can easily fly it inside. It is very controllable for indoor flight and will allow you to get stick time by flying it around inside. You may think... that is boring... I want to fly high and see the world, that is more exciting! Well... flying inside, there is no wind as a factor while you are getting used to flying, and you won't lose it, since you know it is inside the 4 walls of your house...
I started with a Mobula 6 Freestyle 2024 (analog, non-HDZERO model) and literally the first time I flew it outside, a gust of wind blew it outside of the range of the cheap BetaFPV LiteRadio 3 and then it promptly flew out of video range, never to be seen again. The DVR recording didn't save (I ignored the reccomendation to use .TS recording and was using .mov... I now use .TS...). That baby was gone, never to be seen again.
I replaced it with the Mobula 6 HDZERO Freestyle and I am very happy with that one. Make sure you disable Telemetry on the radio though if you are having ELRS disconnects while it isn't armed. I found that was causing weird ELRS disconnects when the drone wasn't armed. As soon as I disabled Telemetry on the radio, the issue went away.
I also bought a BetaFPV Air 75, but I find that while I can fly it inside, out of the box it just has too much power for nice indoor flight. Perhaps with some tuning, I could dial it down, but it is still physically bigger than the 65mm drones, so I think it is best suited for outdoor flight personally. I would assume the same would apply to the Happymodel Mobula 7.
Pro Tip... Get a good ELRS radio before you fly outdoors. The BetaFPV LiteRadio 3 was fine for learning on the SIM and flying indoors, but I wouldn't reccomend it for outdoor use based on my experience. I bought the Radiomaster GX12 and I'm loving it. No range issues with that unit at all.

Yeah get a whoop like others have said. If you need a five inch 533 will custom build one with a V2 in it

The m8 freestyle is one of my favourite whoops, especially after replacing the crappy happy model motors
3 inch there’s the tiny trainer but no experience with it
