On the phantom 4, when I am recording video, it only records a few seconds and it stops by itself.  Anyone have any idea what would cause that?

never experienced this myself but i would recommend clearing the memory card and formatting it.
what size memory card are you using?

May I know how long you have owned it? Just to clarify, you noticed this issue after a firmware upgrading or hard landing or something else?
You tried different SD card besides the original one, still had the same issue, right?
BTW, what mobile device you are using?

I have owned it since August, Firmware is up to date, and I used the card I had with my Advanced, a 32gb Sandisc Ultra, and using a iphone 7 plus.

When did you update the FW? did it happen after the update?

I think I found the issue....I replaced the SD with the original card that came with it, has not cut out yet.  I think the card that I had in there couldn't keep up with the video.  I did a few recordings in kitche, and has not done it yet, but when I put the other card in, it cuts.

Are you sure that you did not accidentally hit the record button again? Do you start the recording via the app or the RC? Have you tried reformatting the SD card?

Quite likely, the SAndisk Ultra is a borderline card, just not quite fast enough to do the job.

I'm positive it's the card.  Weather has been shitty for me to go out and try the card that came with it, but the tests in the house seem to work fine.   This video is where it kept stopping the recordings.  I was able to piece it together ok with some slowing down on the small clips...

I formatted the card through the app, along with the recording.

Good to hear that you seem to have found the issue, please let me know if it persists with a faster SD card. It's a very lovely video, thank you for sharing. The exposure work on it was spot on. I bet that house is never hard to find, like a lighthouse.
