Flight controllers to interface with raspberry pi

Hi, I lost video a few times with my custom drone running betaflight, this resulted in crashes which harmed the drone, is there any way to know with betaflight when the signal is going to cut out?

iNav is not hours of setup. Heck, if you are experienced with BF then it's barely an hour. Look at this guide. It is not 300 pages long. Basic setup you only need to do once (always save your CLI DIFF after setup in case you need to go back). One flight to run autotune. Then you are done.
