MicroStrain 3DM-CX5-IMU Inertial Sensor

The 3DM-CX5-IMU is the smallest and lightest high performance IMU available. It features a fully calibrated and temperature compensated triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope to achieve the optimum combination of measurement qualities under all dynamic conditions. The 3DM-CX5-IMU is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including platform stabilization, balancing robots, antenna pointing, and usage monitoring.
