You will definitely need to do some soldering, though I would only hook up the signal (yellow) and ground (black) to the VTx. The camera uses ~650mA @ 5V, which is probably more than the tiny regulator on the tramp can supply.
You think i would it would melt the vtx if i hook it up with the lipo? Manual says it should work though ?
It doesn't specify how much current you can draw from the 5V regulator, but they are generally designed to power a regular board cam which might draw up to 200mA. I personally wouldn't risk it.
You can power the VTx and camera from your flight battery no problem, just don't try and power the camera through the VTx. On the VTx, the red & black twisted pair is to supply power to the VTx. Connect these to your battery (or PDB, you didn't specify what kind of airframe you're using this on ) The orange/black/yellow cable supplies +5V from the VTx (red wire) and takes the signal from the camera (yellow). I would recommend removing the red wire from the camera connector, and running another + and - from the battery (or PDB) to the camera.
As an aside, how do you like your Convergence? I got one for Christmas, probably going to maiden it this weekend.

Running electronics thru a receiver is bad idea. They are only meant for low voltage low current pass thru. Not to mention any high current draw can brown out or even shut off the receiver making the craft uncontrollable.
The tramp will work with 2-6s lipos's, so probably not off the 5V your BEC will provide. I would connect both the VTx and camera direct to the battery. Here's a
crude drawing.

I haven't put FPV goodies in mine yet, I may just keep it LOS only for this year... We'll see how the budget does

Is there a ground between the PDB and camera? Hard to see from the picture, but there should be.
