We begin the tour of Iris' guts by looking at the new 4-in-1 ESC/Power Module. Each ESC is rated at 20amps capacity and is running the SImonK firmware for enhanced response and stability. The onboard Power Module provides regulated power to the flight control board, in addition to voltage and current monitoring.
An aluminum heatsink is attached to the power handling transistors
This 4-in-1 represents an elimination of 110 grams when compared to four individual ESCs, Power Module, and Power Distribution Board.

Oh, so the 30A unit is not HobbyWing. I checked there website and didn't see it, so that explains that.
I have a coupld of the Quattro 25A's and like them.
@OG,
This one is too in the list for 4x20Amp ESC's: (112gms)

@OG,
This looks quite nice. Looks similar to what 3DR is proposing. However, the link you posted does not include a heat sink with it. The weight is quite amazing, says 60g.
If it is used for 850kv motors with 10"x4.7 props (which require 20Amps), it should still work quite good. Correct me if I am wrong!
OG, they have an even bigger Quattro now? Cool.
Is that available separately or only in the Iris?
What about the size of the board ?
what voltage? 3s,4s,5s,6s?
Just as a point of comparison, the Hobbywing Quattro 25A is 62.8g with the big wires removed.
Gary,
I'm not sure what the cost will be -- the components are not cheap, but it's not a big deal to replace. This thing is easily accessible after removing the bottom shell.
Alex,
I thought the video would cool and Vine-esque, but it just made people angry. I'll put together a longer version and re-post it.
titeuf007,
The 4-in-1 weighs 58.7g with the heatsink.
