Delivery for this little whirlwind finally dropped today. I’ve managed to get through 8 batteries on day 1. The fast charger recharges within 45mins with a decent power supply. I’m super happy with this. The setup process in Betaflight (hadn’t used it yet) was not as hard as I thought. I guess years of RPi and Homeassistant tinkering plus a life in IT have helped me a lot with the learning curve.
This little whoop will fight the Avata for stick time dominance for a while.

It’s a great little whoop, I always enjoy flying mine.
Have you had an issues with jello in your footage? I did, so I ended up changing the mounting system and fitting the Flywoo wide camera upgrade too, which sort the jello and narrow FOV issues.

At this point, I hadn’t noticed anything. But that is probably because I’m way too excited flying this thing and keeping it in the air. I remember from the reviews on YT that a lot of people changed and altered it to reduce Jello. I saw the wide lens option, which I might consider down the line (thank you).
How do you record actual footage from the camera? People talk about onboard recording - aside from the video I can get from the goggles, which includes OSD.
I’ve set the O4 lite to auto record upon arming the quad, it records straight to the SSD chip on the O4 lite (approx 20Gb), then I off load it to my computer via the USB C connection on the O4 board.

Thank you, this clarifies it. I was confused yesterday, as there was clearly no memory card slot and no indication of internal storage. I’m surprised that the start/stop recording button on the DJI FPV Controller isn’t mapped to the O4 air unit’s recording, which means I either auto-start recording or manual start from the OSD menu in the N3 goggles. It doesn’t matter a great deal, as I didn’t get the O4 Air version for any cinematic stuff.
