The camera should be able to plug into the FC

#

Is this for a drone? What brand is your FC?

#

The only one I see is for a wing by Matek

#

But anyway, your FC should come with a user manual. In there, there'll be a wiring diagram. The VTX should come labelled, just connect the pins that are labelled the same to each other from the VTX to the FC

#

Sometimes the VTX will come with a harness that you can plug in and then solder the other ends to the FC so you can easily unplug the VTX. If you can take pictures of the stuff you have, that'd be awesome. Any wires that came with the VTX/FC would be helpful too

I hooked it up as in the diagram but it doesn't work

I don't know what cable to connect to the FC, could you tell me the color of the cable to the FC?

Take a picture of what you have right now

Which 6 cables do you have? Can you just take a picture of all the components and wires you have?

data video 5v gnd gnd 7-24v

#

and then I'll tell you my fc, could you tell me where to go?

#

What does the wiring guide for your VTX say? It's likely the 5v and gnd are for output to the camera, which you may not need if you're powering it from the FC

#

ok, I turned the camera on as shown in the diagram, is that OK?

#

Yes

#

VTXs usually have an option to power the cameras themselves since that way the FPV module can be a self-contained thing. But since we're running the camera through the FC anyway to get an OSD, we can use the FC for powering the camera too

ok
