Garmin virb xe help - 09/15/16 02:22 AM

I recently bought a virb and I've noticed a problem. Say I'm recording a video and stop it at 2 minutes 30 seconds.. it's splitting the video into a 2 minute video and another 30 sec video. I currently have it set to 15 minute loop. Any tips??

Need to make sure your using a mirco SD card with a high rate of read speed. Get a sandisk extreme or extreme plus 64G. I had allot of issues with same deal on my go pros, they are like $30 on amazon.

Read speed is important, but I'm thinking he means high rate of WRITE speed since that's what your doing when recording.

Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MBs/read , 90MBs/write
Sandisk Extreme Plus 95MBs/read , 90MBs/write
Samsung PRO+ 95MBs/read , 90MBs/write

Every now and then BestBuy will put the Samsung's on sale, online or store.

Also, what I've noticed is once you're ready to delete the recordings don't use the app. Format the disc in the card and delete it via the menu options on the card itself.

This is what Garmin tech support told me and haven't had another issue since following their instructions
