Lightest powering possibility for Scarlet / Epic to use with Octocopter or Steadicam?

[Martin von Kuttenberg]

Hello i am wondering how to power scarlet / epic for steadicam / helicopter (octocopter) to get lightest setup possible. no problem if its needable to switch batteries for every 10-15minutes, important is every gram / oz. What would you pick up?

Redvolt in side handle.

okay 3cell sounds like 3*231g + some cables ..... total 700g (1.54lbs)
side handle 400g (0.9lbs) + 1x redvolt 260g (0.59lbs) ..... total 660g (1.45lbs)
vmount battery 65WH 525g (1.16 lbs) + Switronix vmount 180g ( 0.4 lbs) + aditional mount ... total 705+ grams

any other solutions? sound like there is no need to change vmount system for saving payload.

No, The whole battery weighs 231 grams. It's already a 3cell batt. You could also get a lower capacity one like this - that would be even lighter -

...go and get a Lemo-Powerplug and feed the Camera from your Octacopter-Batteries. Did it here and works perfect.
