Bought this Bosch laser tape measure a few months ago for the same reason. Still havn't had time to do anything with it.
If you shop around it can be had for $80. It has a continuous measurement mode, but don't expect more than about 4 updates per second. I figure it could be used to calibrate the baro altimeter and the baro could be used for quicker updates when ground hugging, otherwise maybe put it on a servo for indoor mapping.
Was thinking of the same, would be great if you could get it reliable, having distance to ground from 300 meters opens up all sorts of possibilities. Over an above landings it could be used to fly low, "hug" the ground, at say 10-20 meters depending on frequency you can get readings at.
I guess it is great for altitude holding by the ground but autolanding..., maybe you should try Sharp IR sensors or ultrasonics.
Maybe indoor navigation?
Hmm....
Boxing, lens shields and connectors ready but i didnt find the time for writing the codes :(
Hacking is possible, weighs around 200gr and range is 300 meter with 1m resolution (1km only possible with a laser reflector)
