Short summary
This work has the aim of clarifying the consistency of 2-D video disdrometer devices in deriving size, velocity and shape parameters of solid hydrometeors. The need of implementing a matching algorithm suitable for mixed- and solid-phase precipitation is highlighted as an essential step in data evaluation. For this purpose simple reproducible experiments with solid steel spheres and irregularly shaped Styrofoam particles are conducted.
