P3A video will only record 30 seconds to 2 minutes at a time

[Madmartigan]

Hey all,

I've had my P3A for a couple years now and have done some great things with it. I mostly use it for photography but have done a few videos. The last year or so I've noticed that the video only records very short clips before just stopping by itself. I fly with a Galaxy Tab A and for the first year of ownership never had any problems. I'm using a Sandisk class 10 32 gb SD card. I've made sure the card is empty, formatted and it still does it. I've tried shutting off the video cache to the tablet and that also didn't help. Any ideas what else I can do?

Try a different SD card

That does sound as though the card isn't handling the data rate.

Agreed with all above. First thing i would do is try a new sd card. They don't work reliably forever for writes.

You guys were right! SD card did the trick! Thank you!

Is there a certain brand/type that is found to have the best performance with these things?

I have always had good luck with SanDisk.
