Cumulus Soaring Supplies released a couple of videos a while back,
showing the setup, operation and features of the Cambridge and Tasman
vario ranges: http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/varios.htm

Although these were only two, the videos were very informative, cheers
Paul!

Of the videos floating round YouTube, quite a few show the panel with
the vario beeping away, the best place to find these would be on this
