how much does this hobby cost?

That's pretty expensive. I just decided to build one as a hobby thing. Went looking at a few at a store just to get some ideas see if there was anything obvious I was missing. Store sold ones are expensive as fuck.

I could make one from a kit except I've never soldered before and the connections for a drone are small and close together, and I only get one attempt because the components are delicate
cool video but him standing on that roof with the vr goggles on gives me tremendous anxiety that he's going to get disoriented and fall down

I haven't soldered in ages only had a little bit of instruction on it years ago. I was thinking of picking out the camera I want to use first then just build it around it after I pick out a mother board. Been a bit more concerned about the programming part, and working toward that. Didn't consider a kit before maybe I should shoot for one of those first.

I wouldn't worry about it being too small just practice a bit first before you do it. Chances are it's just attaching the parts to a printed circuit board at the connections, most of that is just there as insulation to hold it in place if you mess up you can always just heat it up a bit to suck up some of the lead, or take a dremel to it I wouldn't worry too much about damaging substrate doing that just run some test leads from my multimeter to check if the circuit completes correctly or not after.
