Power distribution with APM2

Are the gimbal ports (A10 and A11) powered from the inoutmrailmor the output rail? I'm asking because I want to power the APM2 with a separate battery on the input rail (through a 5v BEC) and I'm worried that the camera servos might cause a brown-out/reset in flight. I'm using a 2S 460mah battery.

Oops. Finger and proofreading problems. That should read "input rail or" not "inoutmrailmor".
