    Hi All,

    Just wanted to see if anyone knows anything about these super thin low profile Lipo's I'm seeing on top of the Cinestar 8 that appears in various Freefly videos.

    I have been searching far and wide to find something similar, with no luck.

    I think they are Freefly brand in the videos, but obviously nothing has been released yet?

    Thanks for the link Michael! Thats the ones I was looking for. :)
    Would you know or does anyone else know which ones they use on for example the snow dragon video ? Im trying to get the weight of my Cinestar, movi and Red Epic down to 10kg from 11.3 (Epic is stripped back as much as it can)
    I am currently using 2 x 6s 5000mAh Zippy Flightmax lipos ... however together these weigh around 1.7kg.

    I would guess (based on estimated weight) that they are running 6 cell batteries.

    In the video they are using two packs though, so 2x those 6s packs would be 2.5 and with a stripped back Dragon, that would push it into the 12.5kg range.
    Maybe they are using a different motor setup than the 450kv ones

    Pretty sure that Snowdragon was shot with 4S.

    Gary I believe you are right, the copter shown in most of the clips has the 4s 9000. I remember reading on the youtube comments when Freefly replied to someone's question Freefly said the batteries used were 6s 9000's, that leads me to believe that the copter flying the Dragon was using the 6s and the one in the clips was using the 4s. I don't know if I've helped at all but thats my 2 cents.

    Cheers,
    Blake
