All I want is a reliable source for the geophone sensor. That looks like an SM7 micro. ION systems won't return email or telephone pricing inquiries. Does DAS sell just the sensor? That's all I really need.
The actual sensor is made in the Netherlands. The price quoted to us in quantities of 100 is $149 each. Anyone, who was lucky enough to pick these up at a discount price should appreciate what they are worth.
Wow! Probably why ION systems wont return my calls, lol. SENSOR inc is just plain nuts at those prices, there are DIY instructions for crude geophone sensors on the web. Hell, I was turned on to a company here in OKC that will sell the sensor for 47 dollars a piece, and I thought that was expensive. Guess I will try using accelerometers instead, given the scarcity of sensors out there.
BG Micro a surplus wholesaler was originally selling the entire geophone kit, including pcb, LED's, LED Driver, etc. with the sensor for under $30. Once the "re-packaged" kit hit Ghost Hunters it quickly sold out.
I need 3 of these!!! Where can i get them?

You would need to contact DAS directly. The item is only available on a "built to order" basis right now. Thanks.

Is this Seismic detector prototype available for purchase yet on the DAS Distribution website? Couldn't seem to find it via the website?
