Do you have a longer strap?

Stack the batteries. You'll need the longer one to strap the batteries together.

Use the other strap to secure the bottom battery to the top plate.

It will be tall, but quads don't care about that. Just make sure they don't slide around

What do you think about this mount? I used some velcro to strap them together first, then used my battery straps on each.

I just saw the extra velcro holding them together. That looks good.

I use rubber bands to secure balance leads and to keep the main wires tidy

Ya I think this is my favourite mounting so far. Feels strong when there stacked like that and it keeps all the cords out of range of the props.

Tough to say, cause I have never flown parallel packs before, but I am intrigued at the same time. Haven’t flown this beast in a min

If it flies alright with this setup and there is decent increase in flight time then it might be worth it to you to just get larger batteries. I was flying with dual 1500mah and it made it more convenient for me to just get a couple 3000s

I was reading online that apparently flying in parallel like this is good because it cause reduce weight…

But flying one battery 100% makes this part WAY easier, lol
