Thx for the walkthrue..+1 for the english language. as most "newcomers" to scopes & electronics.. also been down this rabbithole of getting less then ideal mobile waveform displays... 5 years back ended up with 4 waveform display units, before I took the plunge on a real mobile/benchscope. First I got was the 15 bucks DSO shell, that white unit with a rotary knob you build yourself and that you also show in the video, - then I got a 25 US Daniu DSO188 (cute little fellow, likely more proof of concept then anything else) , then I got a Mustool MT8205 that costed only 11.11USD at Banggood 11 year birthday with incl. shipping to Denmark, then I purchase a 70USD Miniware DSO212 with black silicone boot and then some years back (2019/2020) I finally took the plunge on a 4ch. Micsig STO scope... which obviously was a lot more pricey at a tad over 400 bucks. Sofar I been very impressed by the micsic scope. 100k waveform update rate, 28 meg depth.. 256 level intensity grading.. color corrected waveforms and all that extra jazz with seriel protocols. the sum of it all, if you new to scopes and you wanna learn.. get yourself a real scope.. its such a pain trying to learn with these less then ideal waveform tools and trying to make sense of it all and adjust the interface.. I really like the intensity grading on these Miscsig scopes and a huge plus that it has a battery, and you can just use PD powerbanks for charging.. ua-cam.com/video/xV40hZCkfek/v-deo.html
Thanks for your constructive comment! The micsig electronic phosphor (as people around analogs call it) looks really neat. Great for modulated signals, sweeps and such. 4 channels sharing 28M memory, oof, nice, really. These tiny scope like things are nowhere near classic scopes, and are incomparable to them. But they are greatly used amongst newbies and diy hobbyists, who just want to see a wave, or who just want to know what does the shape look like +-. Since there isn't enough reviews on them, well, mostly reviews done by newbies themselves, or biased reviews because reviewer got it for free, I think it's on point to record such a review so people will know what these things are actually about.
Excellent video and comparison. In addition to all the data you detail in the video, the MDS8207 model appears to be True RMS (although the manufacturer doesn't say so, many reviews have tested it) and yet the MT8208 model is not in any way True RMS and many measurements are very imprecise. For me, the ideal model would be an MDS8207 but with the excellent screen of the MT8208, and it's a shame that Mustool doesn't sell something like that

Nice video! Thank you! Very useful.
Thanks, nice work

On MDS8207... (1) hold down F4 when power up to get rid of beep! (2) Can it determine THD%... like from a generator?
Thanks for the tip, I already knew that, but kept forgetting which button it was :D
It cannot calculate THD.
(8207 )Will this multimeter burn if you check a 500 v match with the multimeter?(osileascope mode) i need quick reply...thanks
