Another point is that the lightest LIDAR unit is the YellowScan® LIDAR Mapper system, and it weighs in at 2.1 Kilos, which is way outside the lifting capability of the DJI consumer drones. Just one of the integrated drone packages carrying this unit was priced at $115K
I have seen LiDar equipment cheaper than what you are speaking of, Google uses the best of the best LiDar from a company called Velodyne and the most expensive units are $80,000, they take >700,000 scans per second.
This is a cheap scanning LiDar that takes ~1,000 scans per second. It is only $350, and comes on the market next month. If I find a drone that is open framework and can carry it, my goal is to use it.
