Can I use Lidar to maintain a minimum altitude while flying?

Hello All.
I have been slowly working on my FPV heli setup, (meaning trying to fly it and get used to it). One issue I find when flying is not maintaining a safe for me altitude. Can a Lidar module be used to prevent the heli from flying too low?

I have been reading the docs and I have not found an answer to my question. Hopefully someone here can help me. Thank you.

Hi @HeliSteve , which flight mode are you flying with?

Yes, did you already bump into the surface track feature explanation?
if flying in a non-manual collective mode, keeping the collective centered (~1500us) will maintain ground proximity fairly good.
