Topic: Barani MS Pro vs SmartCellino radiation shield comparison

Good morning, after a break due to family problems, I attach yesterday's report, zipped, in the comparison there continue to be the ecowitt ds18b20 that we are testing with great satisfaction

Second part of today interesting in its dynamism
here, in such situations, not affected by errors, for example radiative, you can appreciate the different time constants

Always hoping someone is still interested to this tests and, after all, to improve his knowledge

Greetings to all,

I am updating the post to communicate that the members of our metrology group, unanimously, have decided to suspend the publication of any comparison report.

This decision, which was painful, arises from the continuous and growing involvement of such data at a professional level, some companies, which collaborate with our small group of enthusiasts, use such data, appreciated for their quality, with a view to improving, where possible, the air temperature detection systems, and it seems to us that the time has come to interrupt their free use.

We thank all those who have followed the reports, we are entering the "heart" of the most profitable season in this sense and it seems to us that the time has come to put an end to what has been achieved so far publicly.

Thanks from me and from all the members of Metrology and Meteorology

Hi everyone,
I’m about to add a new passive radiation shield with an Ecowitt temperature sensor alongside my Davis setup with 24/7 fan aspiration. After some research, I’ve narrowed down my choice to either the Barani MeteoShield Pro or the SmartCellino.
I’m particularly interested in how the SmartCellino has performed during recent hot days compared to the Barani.
If anyone has real-world comparisons or advice to help me choose between the two, I’d really appreciate your input.
Thanks!

Hi

The SmartCellino is the better shield. It performs very well and suffers from the low sun angle/low wind effect considerably less than the Barani MS Pro. 99% of the time, the shields will show near identical results but on the rare occasion that you do get hostile conditions for a passive shield, the SmartCellino performs better.

Alright, I’ll buy it then.
Thanks for your reply

Hello everyone,

I'm updating this post with some news about the SMarT CELLino screen.

Those who own it or have tried it know that, in addition to its top-notch performance, the attention to detail, comprehensive accessories, and robustness are among the best on the market.

The bracket, made of high-quality materials, boasts the highest levels of care and robustness. However, with the goal of providing a screen capable of performing at its best in all conditions, Siap+Micros has decided to develop an updated version of the bracket, now equipped with a reinforced counter-bracket. This provides a level of robustness suitable for special installations, such as at high altitudes or in areas subject to strong winds, allowing the bracket to remain firmly in place even in winds of around 200 km/h.

As you'll notice from the images, the craftsmanship is meticulous. The counter-bracket connects to the main one at two points, using the U-bolts we use for pole mounting. The upper part is firmly anchored with a flat-head screw, rather than the traditional bolt and nut. The hole is square, limiting the use of tools that could damage the bracket's paintwork. It also eliminates unsightly protrusions, which can be a potential source of snow drifts in mountainous areas, and, last but not least, gives the whole thing a clean, elegant look.

I'll update further as soon as I know how to purchase this version.

See you soon.

Good to see they’re still looking for ways to further improve their product. Still very happy with it, it offers top performance like you say.

Thanks Jasper,

I can confirm that they are absolutely not stopped, the research continues, the tests are not stopped, there are large margins of improvement

I am personally convinced that a natural ventilation SRS, speaking of high quality products, has its own "character" and a different response to the different conditions in which it operates, but I am also extremely convinced that, the differences dictated by the different "reactions" to the atmospheric state variations are always linked to a form of compensation

What interests us in the end, the pure meteorological data, it will also be similar in systems with different characteristics and behaviors, always if, of course, we find ourselves in the field of absolute quality.

I will not never say that Siap+Micros is the best SRS in the world, as others says, my opinion is the result of a long comparison, in the most diverse conditions. I'm not interested in the "instantaneous" difference linked to a specific moment, but what I get in the long term.
