Impact-Ready Design
The C540J is 170G shock-rated, ensuring it can reliably withstand repeated high-velocity impact events. This allows crash labs to avoid the significant costs associated with lost test days or invalid runs.
Maximised Data Clarity
Powered by the Forza Silicon ForzaFAST581 sensor, it provides 4.3-Mpx resolution with artifact-free clarity even under high-gain conditions or intense light sources.
