Adding a ROS camera and gimbal to a an existant model in Gazebo (to vtol model)? (Beginner)

Hello! I am very new to using things like Gazebo and ROS. I was wondering about how one might take a model from Gazebo (VTOL model) and attach a camera and gimbal to it, and see the feed?

My goal is to use this camera in the detection (YOLO), tracking, and geolocalization of objects in real-time during the flight.

My guess is that I have to go into the code of the model files (.sdf) and add the camera code? But I am unfamiliar with the code or how it works. And how would I get the feed? Is there a simpler way to do this?

Can someone please guide me through this process? I have Gazebo11, ROS1 and I am running Ubuntu 20.04.

Thank you!
