I know 4K uses an enormous amount of memory, but is there a limit for a single clip shot by an Evo (4k@25fps)? I seem to “hit the wall” at 4mins 48secs, using the Autel included 32gB microcard.
What’s longest 4K video clip you can shoot?

You can record as long as there is space in your Micro SD card. There is a limit on FAT32, where files have to be split before hitting the 4GB mark. You can later use a program like Davinci Resolve 15 to stich both files together and you get a seamless full video.
Sounds good. I’ve been rough editing in iMovie on my iPad Pro as 4K seems to sorely tax my 9 year old iMac.

Why not record in 1080P? Most devices can't show 4k resolution anyways.
Mainly because if I shoot something good I’ll have the extra quality to fall back on, and because 4k devices will likely become more commonplace.

I though the cards were formatted ExFat?? As others have mentioned, you can record 4K video until you run out of space. On an XSP w/64gb card, that’s most of your flight. I was trying to shoot whales breaching in Hawaii once, and I just let it run the entire flight. Whales must have been unionized, on a long break. I got 20 minutes of rolling sea...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Most big TV’s can for the last 3-4 yrs. 4K XSP video looks spectacular on a 75” Samsung. If that could be a possible scenario ever, I’d shoot in 4K.

Same here. But did you notice that all videos will end up at 8 minutes and 21 seconds (not sure how that works. maybe because I film the whole time)? Still have tons of room after filming too so just insert new battery and go again.

That's a TV for the rich. Sadly I'm poor and that is just a wet dream.

I'm not rich by no means but fortunately for me my landlord and good friend has a 60 inch or so 4k tv and also has an XSP and we like watching our vids on it.

60' are not that expensive anymore. I have a 2018 65' Samsung 4K tv and it was $900. I spent more on my Evo. Now, the price difference between the 65' and 75' in my opinion isn't worth the difference.

Depends on the type of 4k tv I suppose. He paid almost $3000 for his. Either way even $900 is beyond my means. It took me almost a year to put a little bit away each month/week to get my XSP. I will never regret it.

$3000!? I would have to sell both kidneys and 1 lung for that.
He must have one of those Q LEDs. Now I'm envious. ??

It is a QLED. It's amazing to watch our videos on it. As bad as our editing is lol.
That's what happened with my sister - but in her case she was looking at a 65" and turned into another aisle to see a 75" -- no joke -- for the same price $800. It was the Christmas rush and a sale she didn't turn down. lol Yes - I've had to go visit and see what some of these EVO 4K vids looks like in true 4K ... lol
My brother in-law was all for it too when they bought it -- until they got it home and practically had to rebuild a wall just for it -- it is so big! But he's not complaining about the TV's picture quality... lol he's complaining about the work it involved...

I have a 65” a year old lowest-grade QLED Samsung, Black Friday @ Costco, $999 they are a LOT cheaper than they used to be. Friend in Hawaii has 75” high-end “businesses expense” Sony in his restaurant. I made the 55min Hawaii video for him. He ran the original ProRes file (huge!), from a new Mac Mini. It looked great!
