Just ordered a cheap ebay brushless camera gimbal (airy brushless) for my Phantom 2, can I use Batt+ & Batt- on the video cable to supply power to this? (11.1V) Or is there a hidden power cord or connector inside the Phantom?

3rd party gimbal - power?

I imagine the Phantom 2 should come with an Aux power cable (or at least a means to add one) to use for added gimbals and FPV

The Phantom 2, at least mine, has a short ribbon cable with power and video sticking out one leg, which may be considered an Aux Power cable. I believe the intent is to provide power to a video transmitter.
So there is a ribbon cable intended for the Zenmuse gimbal, two antennas (one out two different legs), a ribbon cable to the compass, a ribbon cable to the CAN-Bus connector and then the power and video ribbon cable.
I will try the Batt+ & Batt- on the video cable, just opened the phantom and found no aux power lead inside, only two empty connectors on the board named EXP and FAN.
