UAV Creations, you are not alone! I have had the exact same problem. I use a SanDisk Extreme 32GB HC I and a SanDisk Extreme Plus 64GB XC I and I've lost video using both cards. On several occasions, I hit the record button, I hear a "ding" and I see the time indicator for the video card (at the top of the GO app) counting down. Then, whether I've shot for a few seconds or a few minutes, at some point it stops and hitting the video start/stop button on the controller does nothing. I usually shoot in 4K 30p. We do all production in 4K so dropping down to 1080p it not an option.
What I have been doing since I first discovered this problem is, land, power everything down, wait a few seconds and restart everything. Most of the time this solves the problem. Once, it did not. So, I landed again, switched Inspire batteries and tried again. It worked. However, I was sure it had nothing to do with the battery. In fact, I tried that first battery again after #2 died (#1 still had 90% power) and recording worked fine. What I do now when I fly for the first time is, hit the record button on the controller or the button on the GO app, record a few seconds of video and stop it. I listen for the "dings" and I watch the timecode counting down on the app. I do it again. Then, I check the videos. Sure, all the while I'm burning battery power on the I1 but I'd rather lose a little power and have ALL my video than lose video! This seems to have solved the problem. However, It did this little tap dance today then, I started flying and I hit the record button 1 3rd time. The video started to record but stopped half way through. The video/photo controls on the GO app stopped working and all info at the top about recording time, format, etc., disappeared! Again, landed, "rebooted" everything and it worked after that on all three of my batteries.
Conclusion: It's a weird, random problem and no one seems to know why it occurs. I do recommend always formatting the card in the Inspire 1. Since I have been doing this, I have had fewer problems but still some. It's all very frustrating but I expect some frustration from DJI. In fact, I think the letters "DJI" are short for Chinese words that mean: Some Frustration Always. God Luck. |
