video recording ending automatically

[aerialimagery]

I have only been doing stills on my Phantom 4 Pro but recently have been working with video as well.

Today after I changed cards, whenever I record it will stop automatically after about 20 to 30 seconds. Maybe I inadvertently set a recording limit? Anyone know how I can change this?

You need a faster card. I ran into the same problem when I switched from a P2V+ to a P4P. The videos were stopping after 20 seconds and I was like WTF? I too thought I had accidently changed a setting. But I eventually decided to change cards and the problem was solved. Turns out the SanDisk Ultra card I had been using for that flight was too slow for my P4P. Luckily, I had a mixture of cards and popped in a SanDisk Ultra PLUS (32GB) and that worked fine. To play it safe, I now also use the SanDisk Extreme PLUS (32GB) cards which are probably even faster.

Your correct MapMaker53. Had this same problem a year and a half ago. I would suggest though the Sandisk Extreem 64 or 128Gig for 4k video and a 95m transfer rate. 4k is a beast that most don't realize the amount it takes to record.

Thanks for the tip, Mike. In my business I find no need to film in 4k, so the microSD cards I mentioned work for me.

Sounds good to me! I was thinking of aerial imaging.
