Honestly there are loads of options anything with DJI, CADEX will connect to the DJI Goggles have a look try searching Google FPV Quad HD you will find the answer, does depend on experience but a good option for Noob pilot would be Cinewhoop

Sanrock U61W is a cheap and good drones. It's a $50 budget drone with a HD camera that offers real-time WIFI FPV transmission for video in addition to a 100m control distance.

Unfortunately the only drone that will work with the controller is the FPV drone itself.

However replacing your broken drone with another DJI FPV drone is getting cheaper. Many folk bought the FPV combo just for the goggles and sold on the drone and controller. Just this week I purchased another DJI FPV Drone with everything but the goggles for £300,  which is about the average price here in the UK. If you wanted a more conventional quality FPV racer/freestyle to work with your goggles you’re probably looking at a similar cash price, but then you’d also have to factor in the cost of a suitable controller and compatible receivers, along with batteries and charger.

Those are not in the same league as the DJI FPV drone. Cheap drones can be a lot of fun but none of those drones will transmit video to the V2 Goggles. Most (probably all) WiFi drones have too much latency to fly in FPV mode.

@Bodie07 As others have said, the controller which comes with the DJI FPV drone ONLY controls the DJI FPV drone. The V2 Goggles on the other hand can be used with DJI Air Units and Caddx Vistas. These are camera/video transmitter combos. There's a DJI remote which works with the Caddx Vista and DJI Air Unit but I think you'd be better off getting a RadioMaster TX16S and one of the many compatible receivers.

There are a bunch of quadcopters which use the DJI Digital FPV System (Air Units and Vistas). Here's one site which sells a bunch.

If you're not going to use the DJI FPV drone, you have a lot to learn about FPV in order to take advantage of the many custom options. https://www.youtube.com/c/JoshuaBardwell has a lot of great videos on this topic.

As @Nidge points out, you'll likely not save much money by purchasing a different drone which uses Air Units or Caddx Vistas. But once you invest in the gear for the first quadcopter, additional quadcopters won't cost nearly as much money.
How badly damaged is your drone? Can you post a photo?
