Looking for reviews on 4-in-one ESC's with BEC

[trev]

Hi! I am a new comer to the world of drones, and I am looking to get a 4-in-one ESC with dual BEC for my SP Racing F3 flight controller. I am considering this 4-in-one ESC because I want to keep the weight of my drone as light as possible and because I want to ensure that I have enough space in my drone for other parts. I heard from a popular YouTuber that many 4-in-one ESC's tend to burn up and that it would be a better option to select a nice high quality PDB. Does anyone use/ recommend any 4-in-one ESC's? Or does anyone recommend using a PDB and then buying 4 separate ESC's?

I always use separate ESCs they do some very small ESCs now and it one fails you replace that one

Good advice above, especially newbs.
Not really any weight difference.
If you snap an arm & short anything you only have to replace 1 esc.
You can't do anything a 3in1.

The Aikon 4 in 1 is an excellent board, not many reports of issues. With 5v/12v regulator

My personal favorite ATM is the DALRC Engine 4 in 1, cuz it looks so cool
