Would any of your local shops allow you to put the mini of one of their scales? I assume any shops selling goods by weight must have calibrated and regularily checked scales.
I have done this to check a parcel's weight.


Uuum is the gimbal cover on?
 
My gold scales show a nickel at 4.9 so your scales or mine are off.
try weighing without the gimbal cover on.

Yeah this scale only does whole grams. No points. Hence it gets jumpy in between grams. It for approx. meat weight. I'm going to try it again grocery scale in the deli and make sure the gimbal covers off this time so I mean it'll take a couple grams off but I'm not sure if it'll take 16 grams off3

I'm having a new scale brought over from a head shop by a friend later. I'll remove the cover and try again. I hope I'm just super wrong. Lol if not...

You can try this without the camera cover!
 
+1 for weighing without the gimbal cover on.

My MM+ battery +SD card is 247g with the gimbal cover off and about 263g with it on.

Caught me out 1st time I weighed it too!
