keeping boom at correct height in gog applications to allow correct distant for boom height and camera field of view...

Yes, this is definitely a challenge. My feeling is lidar might be overkill for it? Perhaps a ToF sensor or ultrasonic sensor are the easiest ways to do it. I think commercial booms use ultrasonic sensors spaced out over the length for this.

TF-luna Lidar Sensor 0.2m-8m maybe something like this +- 6cm accuracy
