I do not use video. I have a blink camera on a nearby shelf with zoom capability and record from there is I need. I mostly use it to check on print status.
I switched the cards to sandisk ultra 32GB and have not had an issue since. The screen seems to refresh quicker.
My suspicion is that the A1 mini software cannot support mini SD cards above 64GB as their tables are too large.
Thanks for all the input!
