What the..................?

Ok, I have been flying with NO issues at all, we went down to the Los Angeles area for the last few days, so I took my spark to the Santa Monica Pier, went down to the beach, way out away from anyone, got a warning about the airspace, started recording, took off, went up to about 50-75 feet, flew around, took a couple pictures, then the record button on the controller OR the phone would not activate recording, or to take snapshots. Controlling it was fine, I brought it back down, as I start to land, all of the sudden I hear the recording beep to turn off, then a few seconds later, the beep that it started again, then again, so I landed, restarted everything, took it up again, started recording before takeoff and it started fine, then started doing the same thing, so I landed, and packed up. On the way home, we stopped at a rest area, so I figured what the heck, take it out again, same exact thing!! So I landed and packed up, and headed home (7 hours) get home, took the SD card out, and NOTHING recorded at all, I have some video of the rest area that was stored on my phone, but that's it. Looked at the flight records, and NOTHING from Santa Monica at all, I had the one from the rest area.

I don't understand what's going on, the only thing that I did do both times was forget to take off my Android watch, which I figured could have interfered with it, but after looking at the flight record, and seeing nothing there for the beach, I'm not sure.

Thanks


**UPDATE**

I got a change to take it out today for some trouble shooting, and found that it was indeed my Android Wear watch that was causing the issue, it started up just fine went up, and then no control of the camera at all, put my watch into AP mode, and BAM! Everything works just as it should

I don't know why you unable to film but according to AirMap, you may have been in a NFZ due to Topanga State Park?

That or any airports nearby, including helipads.

This I knew, that's why I kept it really low, I wanted to get some video of the pier, I thought that may have been the case as to why I couldn't film, but when it happened at the reset area, that was blown out of the water

Do you remember switching from camera to video on the on screen choices?
Have you used that card before, successfully? Are you formatting the card before reusing it?

Flight record from the rest area: DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com

There is no record from the beach, that's part of the issue, but what is funny, is this was available in the app: https://www.skypixel.com/videos/ ... 4-b4f7-6fb060912bd2

The only time I’ve seen this as in your video is on my Handycam, when pressing the record button, and not knowingly pausing instead of recording. You end up with small portions of video in the act of pausing.
That one, I hate to say it is a bust. What I would do after using the Spark to format the card is try it again. To see if it happens again.
Wish we could be more helpful.
