New update, you can call it Design "5s" :nevreness:
New location for battery that previously wasn't available. Those are 5000mah 4s size.
Holes slotted so that two straps per battery can be used to securely hold it down.
This does not affect if its a X8 or octa configuration, as the batteries are above the carbon tubes.

Did I miss something as I didn't see plan or location for gimbal mount?

I have not yet decided if I will build my own gimbal or use one of the ones available. First I will get the x8 flying and see if it is stable and a good setup before going further.
