What the thread found

• A retrofit for existing Gen-2 battery holders shortens the sled by approximately 2 inches and positions a third battery centrally, offering a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new sled.
• A universal articulated monitor bracket can be mounted on the PRO tube collar; one operator suggested designing it to mount the monitor low on the battery rails at the same spacing as the battery holder, which the designer confirmed is already feasible.
• The MK-V is regarded as a highly modular sled with the monitor mounted on the battery rails and all connections plug-in; one operator showed a short dual-tube sled with 2-inch tube and gimbal featuring two pan bearings (custom build with series planned).
• The MK-V integrates V5 electronics, which operators praised, and the Level monitor sits in a single plane with the batteries.
