I have the original Go Pro and I have been trying to do some time lapse. I have been using 3 of these and I keep getting one that stops recording and I am not sure why. I have had this happen with 2 different go pros. When I leave it is taking still pictures. I make sure after the LCD display shuts off that it is still taking picures. Tonight I tried to do a time lapse of a hockey game and after 200 pictures it stops. I have used the camera before take 9000 pictures during a time lapse. Any suggestions or ideas?

Check the firmware version of all three cameras by checking the exif data of a still from each one. One of the earlier FW versions did not reset the individual file numbers and had a max limit. Post the FW versions here.

Otherwise it will be an SD card issue.
