The Quantum Gravimeter QG-1 relies on the interferometric interrogation of magnetically collimated Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in a transportable setup. The falling BEC is detected via absorption imaging, allowing a better characterization of uncertainties of the motional degrees of freedom than fluorescence detection. The horizontal velocity component is utilized to estimate the uncertainty in the bias acceleration due to the Coriolis effect. Estimations from a gradiometer measurement are presented together with proposed measures to compensate for the Coriolis effect.
