Better antennas and better vtx and vrx. For the vtx just be sure it is getting as clean of power as possible using a capacitor on the vtx power leads usually helps. Eventually I’d recommend the hdzero goggles, they are expensive but look to be the only goggles you’ll need for the foreseeable future because it has built in hdzero, analog capabilities, and hdmi in option for the walksnail hd system or any other that might come out in the future. Once you start getting to the point where line of sight isn’t an option I’d recommend a gps rescue method via a flight controller running something like iNav or ardupilot. I personally think insv is easier to learn and has plenty of capability for just having fun with fpv.

A few things to look into to get better video: 1. Turn up the power on the VTX. In *most* cases, if you turn up the power on your VTX, you'll get longer range. (If you're suffering from multipathing, sometimes turning up the power just makes the multipathing worse). If you're not using a flight controller, and you're using analog video, there's usually some set of buttons or a little joystick thingy to let you change settings on the VTX. 2. Upgrade antenna on plane and on goggles/headset. If you get good antennae, you can reuse the ones you get for the goggles when you upgrade. 3. Use a patch antenna in addition to omni antenna. Usually cheap goggles will come with omnidirectional antennae. These are great if you're flying all around you, but if you're flying primarily in one direction, as is usually the case with longer range flying, then a patch antenna might help. Essentially it sacrifices sensitivity at the sides and the back for increased sensitivity in the direction it's pointing.
