No accidental deletions for sure. I'm very technical. It seems random. Is there a condition where it only records locally, on the phone? I have all 3 states. On card only, local only, and on both. I always want the original high quality files recorded to the card. I'm using GO 3 and S7 Edge. But the Mavic should record to the card regardless of App choice shouldn't it?
Nope, that should never happen.
Hmm. I'm much more inclined to believe it's a software issue. The card is highest quality and there are no capture loss artifacts. The videos are all good quality. Just the location issue. I can just manually take off of the phone for my video editing needs, but the behavior is odd. Probably time to "upgrade" to the GO 4 app.
If the video quality of the cached files suits your needs then that's fine. But keep in mind the cached file on the phone is far lower quality than what saved to the card since the cached copy is essentially just a recording of the wireless feed, not the native video.
True, but the only way to truly troubleshoot this is to use another card. I had a top notch Lexar card go bad on my Phantom 2 during flight. The card was nearly new. So assuming that the card is good, without testing it with another card, will leave you right where you are...not knowing anything for sure.
