Some questions regarding iPhone 12 PRO Max video recording:
  • How long can one record in 4K before the phone starts overheating? 1080?
  • Is there a 30 min. recording limit in 1080 or 4K? Or can it record until the memory is full?
    • If it does have the 30 mins. video limit, will it create a new clip and continue on recording?
  • Any tips, tricks, suggestions, recommendation regarding video recording on the 12 PRO Max?
  • What is a good back up device that is simple to use? Something to connect to the lightning port that will do a complete back up? Similar to this Amazon.com: SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive 64GB for iPhone and iPad, Black/Silver, (SDIX30N-064G-GN6NN): Computers & Accessories
Goal is to put the iPhone on a tripod and record company functions, kids dance recitals, etc?

Thanks in advance.
 
I have recorded for over 2 hours with it. I suspect your only limited by the amount of storage the iPhone has available.

Thanks Jeff.

Were you recording in 4K or 1080?
 
I’ve done 4K 30/60, and 1080P 60. I always get the 256Gb models
 
Impressjve. Is it recording in H.265 and do you know the bitrate for 4K please?

Edit: bitrate might be 25 for 24p 4k. Looks like can choose H.265 or 4. Thats too low imo for big quality TVs. Bitrate increases as fps increases.
