Hi, I've managed to make it work with this code:

it need piexif package https://pypi.org/project/piexif/ You have to run usb_cam on a terminal and mavros in a another terminal. Then run this script. Take a look at topics names. I'm using a time synchronize in order to get the data synchronized.

But I have a problem with my webcam (logitech c270). I can't take good pictures from the air. Pictures are moved or waved or dark or bright. Do you already test take image with the webcam from the drone?
