This is a male XT30 connector fitted with a 25V 220μF capacitor to help filter out any voltage spikes. This XT30 pigtail makes it easy to add a capacitor to your setup as it is integrated into the battery pigtail wire, so you don’t need to worry about finding space within your frame. The other advantage is that being at the source of the power for your quad, it smooth the power output to your entire quad.

Modern racing drone motors / ESCs are becoming more power hungry and this can cause problems for sensitive electronics like flight controllers and FPV gear. If you find it hard to tune your PIDs or have a noisy video feed, adding capacitors should help to improve things. A capacitor will absorb power spikes generated by brushless motor during braking and in this way will help remove electronic noise from your setup, which is the source of the problem. The result will be clearer video, less noise introduced to your Flight Controller, and a setup which overall operates better than a setup without a capacitor.

Indications that your quad my benefit from a capacitor:

Quad oscillations that can’t be tuned out with PIDs

Noise in your video feed when the motors are spinning

We also sell an XT60 version of this kit.
