    Are there any URDF or 3D model available for any of the dev drones. Would need to visualize it in ROS.

      if you viewed the data through voxl-portal, it would already be rotated properly.

      The Starling's extrinsic parameters can be found here, which should help you configure your URDF

        Thanks for the reply.
        Perhaps I should provide more context on my current work.
        I would need the URDF to simulate the drone dynamics of the m500 drone platform in a physics based simulator such as Gazebo.
        One of the models provided by px4 was based of iris drone which can be found at https://github.com/PX4/PX4-SITL_gazebo-classic/blob/main/models/iris/iris.sdf.jinja

        I guess my only option now is to physically measure the drone.
