The AUVSI annual conference starts today in Denver. Lots of video coverage here. Anybody from this community there who can report on highlights, especially those relevent to amateurs/DIY folk?

Travis, good catch! Thanks. I followed the link from the 32E page but after checking again it seems they only provide only one set of videos. So likely the videos are for the 64E as they look similar to what I've seen in the past.

@ Albert,

I think all those videos were produced with the 64E. I already have a cool video of the HDL-64E being disassembled. I was hoping to find a video that illustrates the capabilities of their latest product.

Co-workers are there, I had to stay to push my program through a PDR brief this week. Too bad.

I seen the performance of the 64E when it first came out and this new one looks very promising, especially at the price. The hard thing is to make use of the data when its coming at you that fast! A good problem to have :)

Aah, I live in colorado springs. Too bad I didn't hear about this earlier.
