Hi @Tamilselvan , you can look at our Starling 2 drone, which comes with either 2 or 3 tracking cameras that can be used for VIO : https://www.modalai.com/products/starling-2 . This drone is designed for indoor navigation but also flies well outdoors. For longer flight times you might want to consider looking at Starling 2 Max.

You could build your own drone using components similar to Starling 2, if you wanted. The main camera documentation for Starling Front End board (M0173) is here : https://docs.modalai.com/M0173/ which supports several camera options. M0173 plugs into VOXL2 directly and enables those camera configurations.
If you have a custom build drone, you would need to set up PX4 tuning and VIO (Open VINS) to work with your particular camera geometry. For standard drones we have default configuration files that are provided for convenience (so it will be more work to set up the SW after you build a custom drone).
