 Step 24 . The drone assembly with TOPODRONE LiDAR looks like this 

 

 

   

 

 You can start performing ALS 

 

 

 

 

 * Due to the partial overlap of the sensors, the use of a lower visual positioning system with TOPODRONE LiDAR installed is not recommended. It is recommended to land drones during ALS in manual mode to reduce the impact on the landing gear and TOPODRONE LiDAR during landing. The manufacturer is not responsible for the stability of operation of the DJM 300 RTK drone with the lower visual positioning sensors turned on.
