Comparison between Colibri™ and ST-5S

Both ST-5S and Colibri are available for sale at INDE Enterprises. Selecting anyone of this tool can be a challenging chore since both these testing tools looks and feels the same. Following are some of the guidelines that you may follow before making up your mind.

Smart Tweezers ST-5S Vs Smart Tweezers ColibriSmart Tweezers ST-5S (LCRZ Meter) is a high-end top quality LCR meter developed for electronic professionals, scientists, researchers, developers, manufacturers, teachers, technicians and service professionals. It is used by the leading companies and research centers in India and is also used by Indian para military forces, telecommunication industry (private and public both), ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) and Indian Air force.

ST-5S is carefully calibrated to give a very high testing accuracy of up to 0.2%. The manufacturer also gives a NIST traceable Calibration Certificate along with ST-5S.

Smart Tweezers Colibri (LCR-Reader) is a low cost alternative to Smart Tweezers ST-5S developed specifically for non-professionals and hobbyists. It is a trim-down version for budget conscious customers who want nearly same functions as ST-5S and do not put too much weight on higher accuracies.

It gives a lower accuracy reading of 1%. It can still perform far better than any other earlier models of Smart Tweezers (like ST-AE, ST1 etc.). Calibration certificate is not provided by the manufacturer with Colibri. Automatic Offset Subtraction feature is also not present in Colibri.
