Hello everyone. I'm new to DJI and have a Mavic Pro 2 zoom. Yesterday I was practicing low level flying (2 or 3 feet off the ground) recording in 4K 30 fps and when I parked the Mavic to use the zoom. I did this twice on this flight. When I loaded the chip from the Mavic into my iMac, the video was in three segments. Not a big problem, just surprising.
My question to the group would be " does this happen to anyone else" and "is there a setting that I'm not understanding"?

The Mavic 2 recording is limited to a maximum file size of 4 Gigabytes.  (This is true with most DJI drones).  When 4 Gig is reached, a new file is started.  You should be hearing a beep from your device letting you know  when this occurs.

Thank you very much AJC-W and jwt-873. It was the longest continuous recording I've tried, and now, looking at the first two clips I see that they are exactly 5:00 min long.
Again, thanks for helping out the new guy.
Safe and happy flying to all!
