Default Erratic servos on initial power up

I have an Easy Star set up for FPV, but I am having a problem on initial start up. When I connect the battery, all of the servos start twitching and won't stop. I can remove one servo from my Rx and it powers up fine. Once powered up, I can reconnect the servo and everything works fine. I'm not exactly sure what is going on. Below is the list of equipment I am using:

DX8 Tx
AR8000 Rx
outrunner brushless motor
3S 2200mAH 25C LiPo battery (powers both FPV gear and flight controls)
Turnigy 30A ESC (5v lead disconnected)
5v/6v external BEC (using 5V)
6 servos:
rudder, elevator, 2 ailerons, 2 pan/tilt for FPV camera

Below is a video of the problem. Any help is really appreciated. I'd hate to get up in the air have the problem reoccur and lose everything.
