Is it a Mavic 3 Cine?

My Mavic 3 Cine recording to the 1TB internal SSD records at least 11 minutes in a single *.mov file. My other DJI drones (Mini 2 and Air 2) recording to removable ssd cards both break long recordings into 3 or 4 minute segments - but everything is there.

I’m guessing that you are recording to a removable card with either a Mavic 3 or a Mavic 3 Cine. If it is the latter, try recording to the internal storage.

It's not 4 minutes, it's the size of the video file that's the issue.
There is a limit of about 3.7 GB and beyond that the file will be split.
This is the same for all DJI cameras recording to SD cards.

it there any way to avoid that? I'm trying to shoot an Orbit of a shopping center, but I want to doing in one shot.Thanks

If you reduce the resolution or frame rate, that would make for a smaller filesize for the same time.
Then 3.7 Gb would be a longer video.
But you can't do anything to go beyond the 3.7 Gb file size limit if you are recording to an SD card.

I found the easiest solution was just to load the video clips into Sony Vegas Pro & join them together to make one long seamless video, takes a bit of time but the end result is one big continuous video file.

Just put the clips together on post production. It’s a seamless transition.

At 4K I get +- 4 min. 51 seconds with my M2Z, when I switch to 1080P I get about 14 min.

the videos link together perfectly in post.

QuickTime allows seamless joining of video clips also, quite easily.

That limit sounds like its due to a limit imposed by the formatting of the card, FAT32 I think has that limit, NTFS does not. FAT32 is the most compatible, most cameras therefore use that system.

Just join the two files in your video-editor !

Format the card on the computer in exFat. The card must not be formatted via the app, because it always formats FAT32. Then the files are no longer split.

DJI drones will still split even with ExFAT cards. As mentioned the files join seamlessly so it's not a problem at all.

It's a limit with the video codec not the storage format so even if exFAT is used the files will be split the same way.

Will it still split it if it records directly to the drone instead of the microSD card?

Yes. it's the way the file is being encoded rather than the storage format which causes the split.
