Hey I just have a quick question. On the crazy radio there are ten holes. Do any of those support power, like 5 volts? Also do any of them support Ground? Thank you

The wiki has the
schematic.
The connector has 3.3V and ground.

Pin 1 on the Crazyradio expansion header can be powered with up to 16V, pin 9 is GND. Notice though that the signals are only 3.3V tolerant except for pin 10 which is 5V tolerant. Pin 10 has been designed to take PPM signal from a TX.

So I'm planing on adding a camera to my crazyflie. Would I be able to power this receiver using the crazyradio?

You could power it from the USB rails (5V and GND). There is no pads for it though so you would have to solder directly to the USB connector pins on the Crazyradio. There is also a 3.3V output but I wouldn't use that as the receiver might induce noise to the Crazyradio power rail.

There is an issue with usb 3 ports on mac. Preferable use a usb 2 port if possible, otherwise you will have to update the firmware as dicribed in the
