ipower 8017-120t and 5108-120t...go for 4s lipo?
Erv
December 2017
I've just bought an unfinished custom built gimbal with 2 x iPower 8017-120t fitted and 2 x 5108-120t fitted.
I'm going to be using a Canon 1dx with the 16-35mm lens...quite weighty.
It doesn't have any battery
Should I get the 4s lipos?

you can use 3s to 6s lipo that is 11.5-22v

Thanks for that, is there an advantage in the bigger 6s...i.e. will it help the motors perform better with such a big camera?
AOPEN3434

No! more power more is required for larger pay loads, larger heavy cameras, 4s is good enough usually smaller cams 3S is good enough

I use that same setup. dual 5208's on tilt. Its amazing. I'm trying to add an encoder to yaw for position feedback though which is my next step.
