I use this one, cheap and does the job. Power only, no servo connections. It has solder surfaces on both sides of the board, so for a heavy-lift octocopter I stacked and soldered together two boards, to make sure it could handle the current.
What have people been doing to use the jDrones PDB on an octocopter? Hooking two ESCs straight to the APM2? I'm curious as to which ESCs are being used and if they have a BEC as well.

What's the giant capacitor for?
Have I missed something here with this Octo PDB?
I have the Jdrones Octo & Hexa PDB in stock here in the UK for same day shipping, I can even get them into the USA within 3 working days!
I have many customers who use them for both the Hexa and Octo setups and they work great!
