Big thanks to RHINOSHIELD for sponsoring this video.

We upgraded our drop rig with an industrial-grade accelerometer and oscilloscope capturing 150,000 data points every second so we can see exactly how much G-force reduction the RhinoShield AirX can provide.

TEST NOTES:

- All drops were conducted from 1.5 meters (≈5 feet) onto a steel plate.
- Tests focused on corner drops, which generate higher peak G-forces than face or back drops because the impact energy is concentrated into a much smaller area.
- A linear rail system with an electromagnet was used to release the cable in sync with the drop machine, minimizing drag and ensuring more consistent drops.
- A catch box was used to contain rebounds so the measurements reflected the initial impact only.
- Data was captured using an industrial-grade triaxial accelerometer (rated to 5,000 Gs) paired with a signal conditioner + oscilloscope, recording 150,000 samples per second.
- Results include both baseline (no case) and case-protected drops, with multiple trials run to account for outliers.
- Consistency testing was done for up to 10 drops per case to measure durability as well as peak impact reduction.
- This experiment was as fun as it was nerdy — and definitely pushed our lab setup further than ever before.
