Since the battery is the heaviest component, it has the greatest influence on the center of gravity. By moving the battery up and forward, it moved the CG closer to the rotor head making it much more responsive to control inputs and improved the fore/aft CG. It did away with the need for long landing gear struts, which contribute to ground resonance. It decreased the potential for battery damage during a crash, unless it's a nose-in event. I think it improved the appearance quite a lot.
WOW, that guy even sounds powerful. Congrats. Must be an odd frame rate that distorts the blade movement. Still impressive as if you had the camera on your hat.
Why would you move your battery up? What does it give you?

I'm still trying to figure out a better hat-cam solution for improved video quality.
