I also recommend using the Digital or Analog outputs to power the camera. To make the servo's move make sure you have your backup battery charged. You can check to see if the OI is reporting low backup battery.

I'm with Kevin on this. Why would you recommend that, and why would you do so more than once? Please, take a look at the specs. They recommend 7.2V. At worst, it will operate at 5.2V. The 5V that comes off of the analog/digital I/O pins is NOT ENOUGH to run the camera. If somehow, miraculously, you're getting your camera to turn on at 5V, it's certainly not going to be operating at its best. The camera is supposed to run on 7.2V, and the only place you can legally find this on the RC is the PWM ports. Please don't spread misinformation when you don't actually know the answer... it causes a lot of headaches for teams who follow bad advice, and will cause people to have to come back here and ask why their camera doesn't work, even though someone said it should.
