radar or laser altimiter

I think this kind of stuff is geared more to the sUAS market but does anyone here know of or have any knowledge regarding small precision altimeters for feeding accurate AGL values into an OSD? I've heard of hobby type gear like this from Arduino. Looking for additional options.

This serious gear if you can afford it, no idea of price but must be high. Met these guys at a Geophysical conference last year, a very interesting bunch to talk to.

Andy, that's ideal. Thank you!

If you go ahead and get one, do put your experiences on line. It makes a pressure based altimeter look so amateur.
