Description
Incorporating three weak-motion geophone sensors, the fully assembled RS3D is our most sensitive seismograph for recording seismic activity of all magnitudes, both vertically and laterally.
The RS1D, RS3D, RS4D and RS&BOOM have the same capabilities for detecting ground motion in the vertical dimension. However, the RS3D replicates these abilities in the horizontal dimensions, providing the user with a more complete view of the Earth motion in all three axes (east, north, and vertical; triaxial). This is especially useful for users who want a clearer picture of an earthquake’s S waves, which generally are more prominent across the horizontal plane.
Being one of our most advanced sensors, it is the perfect solution for serious enthusiasts with a strong interest in the subject, as well as seismologists, geologists, and professional geophysicists that require high quality measurements of both the vertical and horizontal axes.

It all started with a geophone from another manufacturer, which unfortunately can only be operated via a serial interface. Since I want to use all my instruments over the LAN, I started searching and found the Raspberry Shake. In combination with jAmaseis I got a very nice curve display which is easy to interpret even for laymen. Since I built or assembled many of my devices mostly by myself and could save money, I bought the components and equipped the device with its own waterproof case and Güralp compatible connectors. The price-performance ratio is good for me, the contact with Branden and later with the support was always very professional and fast. I can only recommend this device.

This is a very nice device. Cannot say anything wrong about it. If it were broadband, it would cost a lot more (and broadband instruments have much higher requirements on deployment).
