I have the motor drive attached to the R8 body. The drive has a slide in battery that is not what is in the B&H picture. I?m looking for the slide-in battery that has a twist aluminum half-circle on the end of it which releases the battery from the drive itself. Any sources?

It is not part of the body. In fact they have a winder or a drive, your choice. The body only is manual wind. On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 12:39 AM, James R.

B&H shows a "module" that isn't the slide in battery that I need. Does anybody have a source for replacements? Thanks for any help.
