Need help with power distribution

Aerospace / RC
#1

I have a basic setup on my Flitetest wing that we made with Harold many moons ago.

It has a reciever, ESC, two servos and the motor. The battery is a 3S that puts out 11v.

Where I need help, is taking power from the battery to a recently purchased FPV camera that takes 3.6v to 5v.

Any ideas? I’m pretty sure this would be an easy project but I need pointy pointers

Edit: Also I have a crap ton (it’s a thing) of electronic components laying around so I’ll be happy to build what I need

The radio/servo bus coming off the BEC on the ESC is 5V and you can tap into that. If for some reason you can’t tap into that you can hookup at dedicated BEC unit which will drop the voltage down to 5V or whatever you set it to.
