So my camera is powered by a 11.1v battery and so is the transmitter, I'm planning on powering both from the same battery. The camera is a 3 pin and it looks like this:

The red cable is the power (center pin positive standard 2.1mm barrel dc connector) and the yellow cable that i have is actually a male rca connector.

So I need to go from the camera to the OSD Pro without getting power from the OSD Pro to camera. The next step is to go from the OSD Pro to the Transmitter without providing power from the OSD Pro. I know i need a JST connector and it would have to go to a male RCA connector that plugs into the transmitter. Just not sure how to wire that at all... The transmitter and camera power wiring will be easy.

Anybody running a similar setup or have any experience in wiring the male RCA connector to a JST????? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok.. I ended up rigging up my own with parts available.

I ended up cutting off the very end of the transmitter cable that comes with the Elogger/Osd Package. I kept the battery and bright green camera connectors. I'll take pics soon. This side goes from the video output side of the osd pro.

I then took the cable that came with a camera i bought. I cut the battery and video cables off at a point where i could attached the leads to the video out (transmitter cable). yellow, red, white, and one without shielding (camera side, which i suspected to be ground (black)) pictures soon..

The cable that went to the original transmitter supplied with the eagle eyes package-> As i said before i cut the end off for the transmitter and attached the leads (black, yellow, white, red) to the cable I first mentioned. I liked this because it turned into only 1 wire going to the transmitter. For the camera since it was 3 wires, I just put a JST end on and called it a day so it could plug into the OSD Pro.

The 1 wire running to the back of my heli with a y-junction at the end for transmitter power, video, and separate audio if i wanted. All i have to do for transmitter power is attach the battery to the transmitter cable i described earlier.

Gotta love answering your own post. Works great! =] Wish I would have seen SKU: #ETS-OSD eLogger Video OSD Expander Module (Standard) at DPCav earlier. Would have made things a CRAP TON easier hahah.
