Nitecore DPE1, someone has it?

None taken Steve. I just like others thoughts on gear.
Hand catching would definitely be the only option with that extra pack weight. But otherwise the jury is still out for me.
If I can give you a friendly advice and my last post to this.
Do not even think about it and forget this whole contraption as quickly as you can. This is a nonsense and a very dangerous one as such!!

I'd like to see a flying quick charging dock in the sky with a tether. Your drone backs up to it and recharges or swaps batteries in mere minutes, and zips away. Beam me up Scotty.

That is not correct, as per the manual they provide the batteries are installed with the landing gear down. The batteries don't protrude as far aft with this device and I believe, by looking at the photos, that this is how clearance from the props is attained.

As far as how it may affect CG, quad-copters are far better at dealing with CG issues since each engine can alter its lift to deal with a CG issue, unlike a fixed-wing aircraft.

Will this contraption work? It sure could. But, at what cost to the performance and durability of parts of the drone? That is the unknown.

Better than with 2 batts. More weight seems to make it more stable.
Exactly same as normal
Not hot at all

thank you so much! So strange that its not on the US site in English.
After tons of google translate and several credit card attempts (security kept blocking the transactions) I ordered mine today! thank you very much for your help!
 
for sure! I hope it ships quickly. Weird they charged 30Euro to ship to New York, where did you get it shipped to? it was 225 euros ($250USD) each.
I figure, if you liked it, its probably good. Ordered two because I know something will crap out on me at a crucial point in time when I need a backup.
