10 min video only 1 min long?

Sojourner60 · Oct 24, 2018

I got home @ 5:30 and heard my farmer combining my soybean field. I grabbed my P4 and took about 10 mins of video, different angles, got to see him unload while still combining. Moved the video to my laptop and went to watch it. It was only 1 minute long. The last 4 seconds we're very jerky. Any ideas why the full video wasn't captured? I do have a few other pics and one other video but I'm sure the 16GB SD card isn't even half full. The video is only 360 MB.

Thanks!

PS: on my smart phone the little window in the lower left used to have an arrow that showed which direction the drone is facing. It's blank now. I haven't made any system setting changes. I would like to get that working again too. I have installed any updates.

Could be the SD card is getting bad and can't be written to. I'd try a new card.

I copied everything off the card, formatted it, then went and shot more video. No problems this time. Now my laptop is out of hard drive space. LOL. Time yo back it up and delete some stuff.

I'd consider retiring that card
