After doing the latest Update, I now have a problem that I hope someone knows the answer to.

After take off I pressed 'record' and noticed that the camera had stopped recording. This happened again and again and would only run for a maximum of around 8 seconds. I am trying a new SD Card just in case but would be helpful if anyone else has had this problem.

Thanks

You may have to revert back to your older firmware...

Is it possible that you are in extreme cold weather? The camera will not survive extreme cold weather, then it will shut down.

Don't think it was that cold 5 degrees plus I had warmed it up for a few mins prior to take off

Then, I think there's something wrong with your SD Card, indeed. You can try another SD Card to check if the SD Card is the problem. If it doesn't stop recording with the new one, the problem was the older card.

Thanks, looks like it is the card! I was using a Sandisk Ultra 32GB

Okay! Nice to hear that your problem is solved! Maybe your Sandisk was broken or something so it couldn't save recordings..

Anyway,happy flying!!

Also, Always format the new micro sd cards in the drone, before use. ;-)

The Sandisk Ultra are a tad on the slow side, try usingt a Sandisk Extreme or Extreme Pro series card.
