gPhoneX Gravity Meter. The gPhoneX, manufactured by Micro-g LaCoste, is a low (linear) drift, metal spring-based gravimeter. Like the SG, it is designed to measure relative changes in gravity over time, at a fixed location. While not as precise as the SG at short time scales; at periods of longer than a few hours, the noise characteristics of the two instruments are quite similar. The advantages of a gPhoneX compared to a SG for long term monitoring include lower cost, lower power consumption, increased portability, and lack of a requirement for maintaining superconducting temperatures.
