Another newbie to drones. Got the mavic mini the other day with the fly more combo. I have been wanting a drone for quite some time now just didn't wanna spend a lot of money on something I will most likely break lol. Got it set up, been flying it in the garage and am surprised as to how easy it is so far. The only question ive run into so far is that when im taking video it seems to be only taking 5 second clips at most. Im currently using an 8gb sandisk micro i had laying around and will be getting a better sd card soon, could it just be the card? Or is this the longest ill be able to take video for? Id like to use it for just hobby at first but would eventually like to start taking drone shots/vids for my families roofing company. Any help would be appreciated. From Florida if that matters.

The memory card is likely causing that issue. Which memory card are you using?

Try formatting the memory card. If that does not resolve the issue, then try a memory card that's known to work well -- like one of these:
