Benewake TFmini Plus Micro IP65 Lidar (12m)

If you're like me and are itching to try out some of the cooler new iNav features like nap of the earth flying or automatic fixed wing landing, this lidar is a pretty good entry point. There are better units available and the technology is really moving fast in this field, but the price is sure right.

It can be used with uart or even set to use i2c if you have the right dongle for programming it.

I highly recommend; it's not much added weight and it unlocks new features. I put one of these on all of my fixed wing builds so far because I'm a giant nerd.
