Update: rephrase of question: Why will a static transform not work on a data stream where the relation is fixed. Like base-link to optical-camera frame bringing ZYX into XYZ alignment.
Attempting to avoid programming translations. Would like to translate the optical frame to my base-link. When I do this as a static transform I get a funny results. See video.

inverting the child and parent cause a loop error. There should not be a second broadcaster. I am using the kinetics plugin in gazebo. Though I had not done a ros graph so I will do that now. ....AH...you are correct I was transforming twice in another static transformer.
