The video pause is common on most Sports cameras. I have an EKEN H8, and in the manual it says "...The camera will record 10min. clips and overwrite the earliest clip when the microSD card is full." My previous camera recorded in 5 min clips (I guess the memory was smaller). It is annoying but can be stitched together afterwards. I imagine the cam processor is not big enough to record video to memory and write to the microSD card simultaneously, so it stops recording, writes to the card, wipes internal memory, then restarts recording. I'm told that the length of video clips is longer on cams like GoPro.

My GoPro Hero 4 Silver records about 17min clips, but they do stitch together seamlessly, without any gaps. The camera does not stop recording unless the battery dies or the memory card fills up, which is different than what reportedly happened in this accident.
