7 minute videos

[CraigFitz17]

Good evening/morning, I’ve had my Mavic Air for just over a week now, and it only seems to record 7 minutes of footage at a time. So after 21 mins of flying I’d have 3, 7 minute videos. I had a San Disc 4K 64gb so card in it, so I know that’s fine. Do I have a setting that needs adjusting?

Thanks in advance

The videos will always split right around 4GB. There is no way to prevent that from occurring. You'll need to join the files with a video editor.

Thanks.

Can’t find the setting, do I need to be connected to the drone?

It's not a 'duration' thing, it's a file-size thing. The higher you have the video resolution, the sooner you get to the 4GB file limit (and the shorter time the file will play for).
My understanding is that this comes from the [FAT32] formatting of the SD card, and therefore you have to live with it ... There is no setting for this in Go4 - other than changing the resolution you record your video at. As stated above, if you are using video editing software, it will join the 'blocks' of video seamlessly.

The setting mentioned above doesn't exist. 4GB is the max.

Thanks men. Looks like we have a joker in the ranks.

I've never had to piece together a video.

Then you've never made a video over 4 GB

I apologize for being wrong, a mister know it all, please forgive me.
