What do you mean LOS must be kept with the model? Also why is it not recommend for newbies?

The model must stay in Line Of sight so your video signal can return to the receiver and your control signal can get to the model.

Its not recommended because it gets more complicated, to first get a rock solid system using only a camera and vtx that transmits a clean signal at its full potential without killing your control range is hard enough at first, complicating a systems brings up many more potential failure points and more things to go wrong.

Starting FPV with a tracker also promotes poor flying discipline as well which you really need to get sorted first. Learning what areas you can fly within on a static antenna is one of the first steps to understanding what your doing, then repeating with higher gain antennas disciplines you to subconsciously think about the antennas pattern and what to do if your at the edge of it.
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)
