Lora Radio Device Suggestion for Teensy 3.6

I have 2 xbee s2c pros and i am using them for transmit and receive telemetry data and a video that has a less than a 1 mb size to about 1 km distance. But once i receive the video i want to transmit it with Lora Radio to another Lora Radio device. Also my xbees works with Teensy 3.6 so my Lora must work with Teensy too. I have read some threads there about some problems happened in Teensy 3.2 and 3.5 with Radiohead library. But i do not know if the problems continuing for 3.6 too. I am searching for a lora 433Hz or 868Hz radio. I have picked some but i wanted to ask you guys for some suggestions for both about radio selection and using radiohead library in teensy 3.6. Here is my picks: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3073 https://www.adafruit.com/product/3232 https://www.adafruit.com/product/3178 Also i have no idea what is the difference beetwen feather/featherwing/feather M0 or just using the hoperf RFM95/96/97/98(W) itself would work fine. I only used this https://www.makerfabs.com/maduino-lora-radio-433m-868m-915m.html but it has ATmage328 embedded. I suppose i need just the radio for teensy so could you help me about what to chose and how to implement it to teensy. I'm a bit confused since there isn't much in the internet about using lora on teensy.
 
I know normally it's not used for transmitting image or video but i suppose it is because of its low bandwidth and low bitrate but my aim is to transmit 300kb video in like max 1 min. So i believe unless its a big sized payload it doesnt matter if its telemetry or a video data. So please can you recommend something and dont mind the data type?
 
LoRa is not designed for sustained high data rates like this - you have to share the air with all the other users. The use case for LoRa is short packets occasionally - you are wanting to drive a road-train down a country track. Data-haulage is probably best done with GSM or 4G modem.

Note that ISM bands also have bandplans with specific restrictions, which vary with territory, you need to comply with these when using any scheme in the band.
 
I know but as i mention my data size is 300kb and my total airtime can be up to 1 min. I am going to encode the video and send it to teensy so that it can transmit it through xbee s2x pro and once it receives it teensy will give the data to lora as an input and re-transmit it to another lora device. Lora supports data rates up to 27kbps and i think even a 10 kbps is enough for my case and if it fails i still can use it for sending telemetry data for another project so i will be appreciate if you answer my main question about device selection and implementation lora radiohead library with teensy.
