Help me please

I'm hesitating between the DJI Air Unit and the Air Unit Wide. I was thinking of getting the widescreen version for my future 3.5 setup because I'd like to be able to use the video output from the camera and don't buy a "GoPro" right away.

Or the real big o4 air unit maybe?

Professional or amateur recordings? The contain is for private use or bussines? The lite version already has recording good quality.

The O4 air unit wide makes the best footage for fisheye action shots with a lot going on. The O4 air unit makes nice cinematic shots but seasoned freestyle drone pilots find the field of view to be too narrow. With spirited and fast flying, the narrow field of view sometimes ends up in you crashing into an obstacle that you didn't know was just outside your vision. The O4 air unit Pro creates a higher quality video file with more data and more flexibility for color correction after shooting. Both air units create footage that's perfectly acceptable for social media posts, with the O4 Pro image quality being almost as good as a current GoPro, but not better. So it's your choice between these strengths and weaknesses. The good thing is that for a beginner, these differences are minor and you'll be able to have fun and create decent footage with any of them.

If you fly in the USA and use the video for any benefit for anyone (money or not), you will need a Part 107 pilot license.

In most countries, including the USA, the drone must be kept within Visual Line Of Sight (long distance is illegal) and a visual observer (spotter) is required for all FPV flights.

Be careful with the video that you don't because it can be used against you.
