Try without a partition. Also a change in travelling behaviour is often a sign of hock pain.

I bought a Cambox 4Pro. It didn’t work as it wouldn’t charge and after a long fight they replaced it but the replacement doesn’t work either and I had to pay an extra £100+ import duty for the replacement. Cambox do not respond to emails so I have an expensive camera in a drawer and use a...
