Your vTx runs on 12V, as will most video (but not all) cams. You can get that power from a 500mah 3S battery, or from your main flight battery. If you use the main flight batt, then I recommend using a ferrite ring to attenuate noise from the flight system.
If you need power for the GoPro, it is 5V. You cannot use the main battery. You can get 5V from the BEC of your ESC, or a better idea is to use a separate UBEC and not using the BEC from your ESC at all (to reduce heat in your ESC).
Any video connection needs the yellow wire (or white) and ground, not the red + power line. But with Eagle Tree you can just run the + power through the OSD no problem. They make it simple that way.
Be EXTRA CAREFUL which connection you plug your OSDPRO into the EeLogger. You can destroy it if it goes in the wrong one. Same with the GPS. I blew one of mine, but ET replaced it no charge.
