I recently discovered that my Osmo Pocket was splitting recordings at 4Gb. I thought it may have been a formatting issue, so reformatted with exFAT (which it was anyway as it is a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card). The problem isn't that it splits, as I can join them - but the issue with audio at the split.
So, this is hard - as I love the Osmo Pocket - had it for 2 months, and was happily using it and recording at 4K30 - little snippets here and there. It was BRILLIANT. However, all those videos were less the 5 mins - and that's the issue.
Last week, I recorded my first video that was longer than 5 mins - my son's piano performance - which was 6 mins. Was surprised that it was split into 2 videos, but thought that it wasn't a problem, and just need to join them. When I did, I found that it did not join properly - there is a short sub second break in audio. The video is seamless, but the audio just stops for a short bit.
Using Premiere Pro, you can see the loss of audio (attached screenshot) - as said, the video is seamless, but the audio drops where you see there is no audio in the track.
With a piano recording (or frankly anything I suppose) - it just is not acceptable. A long sustained piano note just "clicks" where the audio is missing and then carries on - very jarring. This happens on any type of recording - tried a dialogue/speech style recording, and it is less noticeable, but if you happen to be speaking at the break, then it's obvious again.
Whilst I love the Osmo Pocket, if I cannot film longer than 5.5 mins @4K30, it is worthless. £300+ to record <5mins. Have contacted DJI (on twitter) and hoping they will resolve it in firmware, but hopefully this forum is another way to get to their support.
Obvioulsy the problem is worse at 4K60 (<3mins) and at HD, it's 10mins, but that's still not good enough.
