Por mi, Natalia teine razón, se habla de 'shock-proof' en el sentido de poder soportar un golpe:

En el mensaje anterior quise poner: creo que tiene que "ver" (escribí "cer") con altura como dice Lia. Gracias.

Hola Malega. Te puedo pegar parte de la lista de especificaciones, no hay más contexto que eso. Creo que tiene que cer con altura como contesta Lia.

que soporta una caída de hasta 1,5 metros

A lo que se refiere es que si la cámara se cae a esa altura no se rompe. Por otro lado, es importante hacer la conversión a metros ya que no utilizamos la medida de pies. También se puede convertir a pulgadas (60 pulg). Pero me parece que metros es más usado.

Creo que los 1000 G es porque resiste a golpes de más de 1000 gramos.

En el siguiente link habla de un dispositivo de memoria de USB que habla sobre la resistencia (más de 1000 g):

En este otro link habla de una cámara digital que soporta caídas de 1,5 metros:

agree Francisco Pavez (X) : The UL drop-testing standard for handheld electronic devices is 4 feet and it seems to me that "1.000 G" means that the device can withstand a sudden decelatation equivalent to 1000 times the force of gravity, or a 5 foot drop
37 mins
I also found it could be hit with something weithing 1000 grams.
agree Lia Fail (X) : este me me hace más sentido. El hablar de una caida teorica, y no de una caide de verdad (ver mi sugerencia)

agree Jennifer Levey : This is absolutely correct - it refers to a standard 'drop test' used to test the ruggedness of electrical goods, etc. But I'm not at all sure that a 5-foot drop actually corresponds to 1000G.

equivalente a una altura de 5 pies

No es exactamente una caída, no se habla de que caiga alguien o alguna cosa, simplemente descibe una distancia desde arriba, no dese abajo.

A ver si explico con ejemplo:


From the balcony there was a 5-foot drop to teh street (es decir, mi balcón estaba a la altura de 5 pies, o la calle estab a una distancia hacia aboajo de 5 pies)

1,000 G (Equivalente al efecto de caer 5 pies*)

*con 5 pies traducidos, claro, a metros/centimetros

Es decir: es un shock rating.

Lo que me sorprende es que no buscabas antes en la red, ya que, poner la pregunta como lo has puesto tu originalmente, con un contexto que no valía para nada, y suponiendo - yo - que ProZ era tu busqueda de "last resort" (que no sé decir en ES, siento), no me dí cuenta de que lo que buscabas estaba en la red, y faltaba Natalia para alertarme al hecho de que esto podría ser una 'frase hecha' en este contexto. En la WWW, al tener contexto, a veces muy similares al propio, estas en la situación de mejor entender y eligir la traducción correcta, sin necesidad de ponerlo como pregunta sin contexto en ProZ a la espera (muy aleatoria) de que encuentras con alguien (como en este caso, Natalia), que 'reconoce' el termino.

Tiene sentido, creo que va por ese lado. Como es español para EE.UU. me pidieron que no convirtiera las medidas. Las conversiones que aparecen ya estaban en el original. Muchas gracias.
