Using an esp 32 cam board instead of standard esp 32 board

[anupamvr23-cloud]

I want to have a live video feed from the drone, but it's looking challenging with a standard ESP32 board, as I am unable to find an adapter or a reliable way to connect a camera with a ribbon cable to the standard ESP.
So, I was wondering if I could use an ESP32 cam board instead, which has an onboard camera. Only thing I am struggling with is determining if there would be enough IO ports left, as the camera and SD card itself use most of them.
From what I am seeing (might be wrong...), all the pins you need for this project are:
UART TX pin->Sbus in on FC
Power
GND
Also, on the ESP cam board will I be able to use the singular UART pin thats used to flash the device for the purpose of communicating with the FC?
I may be sounding kinda dumb but I am pretty new to the ESP boards, so apologies in advance.
If anyone has any recommendations/tips/experience with the cam board or connecting a camera unit onto a standard esp, please share your thoughts below It's greatly appreciated!
PS: This is an insane project to do at a college level, props to you @jyjblrd
