For now, I have been successful in configuring my X8+ with a nadir camera for mapping. I sumply cut a usb cable and ported to aux 5 for the trigger. There are 3 preconfigured and placed connections on the nose of the X8+;
a) top 2 wire is obvious power
b) top 3 wire is probably signal, but what port.
c) underside I'm guessing is for future gimbal control.

Confirmation or diagrams would help on this planning exercise.

I found out the hard way that the bottom usb plug is for a camera that can accept over 5 v. I burned up the usb ports on 2 go cams using that cable. If you want to use the 3dr flight view set up you must run the single usb tarot cable that is supplied with the flight view kit from your go cam to the video transmitter! 3dr still does not beleive me that my go cam was charging from that prewired cable on the x8 and of course there is nothing in the instructions.
