Ekon h9

The price is cheap enough but the USB ribbon will not work with that camera because USB connector on the camera is reversed. The other thing is it the same width and depth and it may not be.

I hope so. I will be getting my eken soon so ill see but just so yiu know you will need an adapter from mini usb to micro usb for the camera to connect to the gimbal. If i get my camera before you get your gimbal ill tell you if it works. If you get your gimbal first can you respond and tell me how it works? Thanks
If both of intend to use the ekan h9 on a zenmuse gimbal it will not work because the USB connector is facing the back of the camera
First off what kind of gimbal are you going to mount it if any? What transmitter and receiver are you going to use? Do you know for a fact that the USB connector on this camera even outputs a video signal.
You can buy a JS 4000 camera for less but it will not fit on Zenmuse gimbal as it's a bit larger then a GoPro. You can also buy used GoPro 3+ black and Hero 4 black for half the price on ebay but not with all the accessories. Who needs the accessories if all you're going to do is mount it on a quad.

The big question is what you were going to mount the camera on. Did you intend to mount it on a gimbal and which kind?

Sorry im on the app so I literally just figured out how to do that
i have a zenmuse h3-3d and I intend to mount it on that.But that doesnt really matter anymore due to some issues i found i will be getting a gopro instead.

I purchased both the 3+ black and hero4 black used at half of what it would have cost new. Of course I use my cameras for other thing other the P2 and have enough hardware for two cameras but I hero a hero 2, 3+silver/black and hero 4 black. The h3-3d is a nice gimbal and works great on windy days.
Now all you need to do is get a good FPV system if you don't already have one.

If that is what you want fine but you'd have to modify how it is mounted and wired to your P2. Myself I'd prefer to mount a plug n play gimbal that was designed for the P2 and be done with it.
If you live in the US www.bhphotovideo.com has the h4-3d new for $284.99 or a use one for $229.95. I bought mine used from them and there wasn't
a mark on it and it work s perfectly. Look I'm 77 on a fixed income and don't have money to waste on junk that needs to be modified in order to use it.
I believe the camera is a Eken, I just bought one for $46, got it for my 8 year old son as he was begging for one, but wasn't about to drop $300-$400 on a "real" GoPro. I am building a quad right now, so maybe I'll rig it up in it somehow, not for FPV, but for video recording. For $46, how can you go wrong???
Maybe because the Eken USB connector is backwards and doesn't output video or audio.
Is this the one?

Try rigging it up. It has the usb ports on the correct side.
I noticed 4K @10fps. That is unusable IMO.
Sounds good for 1080p@60fps though.

Go back and look at that cameras photo #6 the USB connector is facing the back of the camera which will not work on a h3-3d which the OP has. Plus the fact the cameras 4.3cm to dept where a GoPro is only 2 cm. Then the USB port doesn't output video nor audio but HDMI does which doesn't work with the P2's FPV system. If you didn't look at the specs 4K @10fps and 2.7K @15fps not go for ultra hd video footage at those frame rates
