    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is any way to improve the video latency with the Seeker on VOXL1.
    I am currently using RVIZ to stream the stereo or tracking camera video to my host PC (where I am sitting and flying the Seeker), but there is about a 3 second delay in the video. This makes it very difficult to fly the Seeker out of my line of sight.
    I have purchased a new Wi-Fi router to use as an extender/relay hoping to improve the video delay, but that did not work.
    Has there been improvements in this area with the new VOXL1 SDK's?

      @Kris a 3 second delay is very likely on the client side with buffering, or network backup. RViz is not an optimal way to achieve low latency video as ROS typically sends an uncompressed, full frame. The QGC video display has much lower latency and uses a compress RTSP stream.
