They look nice Chris.
But I don't think it will fit because they are practical the same size as the center hole in the top plate
so there will be no room left for connecting the ESC's.
Also I don't know how much 2oz(70um) is compared to 11AWG?
And IMHO less connectors is always better
but it looks like you can also solder the wires direct instead of using the plug's.

Thanks Tom
To be honest I think there is no need for removing single wires or complete wire brackets (four instead of eight) other then for saving weight, the 8 mounted wire brackets are calculated for
cameras of 4/5 kg but we use the Sony 730E and the GH2 but also with the eight wiredampers mounted there is no vibration at all on the mount

5kg payload test
Just aded the payload without FC tuning.
7 min flying time and 13280mAh used of the 16000mAh in total.
Al up weight 13,94kg
Total weight of the used lead 4980 gram
Case for holding the weight 83 gram
ESC's max 21° above ambient temp
Motors hand warm after 7min +/- 35°
Nominal Amp draw 110 A / max Amp draw +/- 135 A

Hey man, long time lurker here, and I have been following this all the way, and I must say I love the concepts you have made for this thing! So much engineering has gone into this and when people look at it, they will think "where has he bought this".
The vibration dampeners especially impressed me. This is truly an epic setup.

Thanks p0Pe/Squawk
And we are not ready yet, in about two weeks from now we will also have two as small as possible custom made traveling case's for the Kratos and the CS3 mount,
suitable for airline cargo traveling.
Preview renders,

Hi Koen,
Sorry no room for spare arm's, there is room left for a case for spare props and tools though
