Terrain following on arducopter 4.0.3 using TF03 180m

ArduCopter Copter 4.0
1

I have build quad copter for mapping application with TF03 lidar and working well in loiter mode.
My doubt is that terrain following how reliable on using lidar compared to SRTM data. Which terrain following method would be preferred for testing
Range finder is down facing and setting of the finder as below.

RNGFND1_MIN_CM = 10
RNGFND1_MAX_CM=18000
My quad copter wp ascend and descend speed is 2.5m/s and 2m/s respectively.

If terrain following perform with lidar, then no need to enable the terrain_ enable = 1.
Other related parameter like terrain accuracy and terrain follow like that.

Well you may just have to do some field tests with it to see how it preforms. I wouldn’t be going 180M and relying on a lidar, I know it says “up to 180M” but will it do that in the real world with different situations? I have found that the terrain data is pretty damn accurate as well. So it may come back down to field tests.
