Today I just learned from a friend that iPhones have lidar and my 16 pro did an extremely impressive job of making a model of the cafe we were hanging out in. I’m wondering then, could I use my iPhone to make basic maps of caves?
I’m assuming surely not, right? Like i expect the cave ceiling would sometimes be too high (where I live it can easily be 30 meters plus in height).
So that got me wondering, is there any beginner friendly gear I could use to pretty easily map a cave ideally under say $1,500 USD? I know of the $30k lidar tools but I’d of course prefer something like $1k etc. as I don’t need extensive detail, I moreso just want to indicate the traversable paths and then add “?” Marks where we saw leads that we didn’t pursue.
