Camera stops recording in waypoint missions. Why?

Help
1

I have finally figured out how to fly the waypoint missions with the camera pointing where I want it to. Now, I need to know why the camera stops recording. I set it to start recording with the first waypoint, and it stops recording by itself and finishes the mission with no more recorded footage, Any ideas why?

Thanks

Rob

Your Mavic Air can’t take photos while recording video, meaning when you add a waypoint action “Take Photo” at any waypoint, the recording will STOP but NO photo will be taken.

Share your plan so someone can take a look at it and see why video capturing is stopping. Usually when it stops video capture it’s due to a command at some point during the mission.

This is the drone flight link I hope, it looks like an advertisement but it’s the way it posted my link

Let me know if that link doesn’t work, I will try again. Thanks for looking at it.

Let’s begin with the 5 changes you meanwhile made to the mission you shared, did they have any effect?
Do you have “Auto Record” enabled in the Litchi app “Camera Settings”?
When using the waypoint Action “Start Recording” in WP1, disable it (Auto Record).
How many seconds of footage was actually recorded?
Does recording continue (Not stop) when you fly manually?
If it also stops by it’s own, most likely your SD card is not up to the task (too slow) or faulty.

The only action I had was start recording on waypoint 1. No auto record was in that I know of. I have not tried the mission since I made the changes on the other 5 waypoints. The sd card works perfectly and is exactly what you need. When I fly manually on DJI 4 app it works perfectly, I just prefer Litchi and would like to learn to use it

Thanks

Your original shared mission had a “Start Recording” action on waypoints 1 through 5 !!

Did you actually check this setting in the Litchi app ?

That wasn’t the original, I was messing with changes!!. I don’t know how much footage was recorded I deleted it because it was trash. I absolutely checked this setting in the app

The plan you shared indicates nothing which should stop recording. Since you haven’t flown it with the way it’s set up now with the changes you made I’d fly the mission and report back. Enjoy…

Thank you, I’ll try it as soon as possible.

I appreciate the help
