That's why I can't drop more than a few hundred on a device from ali. I'd lose my mind if it had no screen protector on it. I've been burned from ali express so many times on soldering stations that my next is going to be a fancy jbc one. I'm a rigol fan but they need to tighten up their qa. I have the mso5354 with the logic analyzer and diff probes. I've yet to use the la on my scope and no one had the awesome reproductions online at the time.
I bought this device with some additional Ali Vouchers and was below 400 Euro's. Based on Rigol reviews on the past I thought Rigol has a good qa. If you have watch my other video regarding (a Rigol multimeter) - I have changed my mind. ua-cam.com/video/Zf48CLWF1pA/v-deo.html
@marcelmostert3081 yeah I seen it. I bought the mso5354 with logic probes and differential probes after a hurricane destroyed most of my house. I regret it now. My 2 channel siglent before it was fine. I'm trying to sell it now, I haven't had alot of time to use it lately due to medical reasons and I use my tektronix tds2002c more often anyway haha. I'd like to have the same old tektronix scope w5aew has but the canada dollar is weak and it rarely goes below 2500usd plus 15 percent tax and whatever heinous value canada customs likes to add. Our federal customs is as draconian as your vat only my government doesn't use euphemisms or some superfluous reason why it's better. It's pay or we keep it and auction it off. Plus American sellers inflate shipping fees as a way to make extra money. Like how can a 2.5kusd prs guitar and 30 dollar cht nozzle from the slice engineering website cost the same to ship.. I trade test gear with a friend in the southern states and shipping is usually quite cheap.
Hello Marcel. We both had the same idea! After buying my DM858 with its many bugs, it didn't discourage me from buying their function generator as well. I placed my order with a French distributor yesterday morning and should receive it within 15 days... I've chosen the DG922 Pro, which is a bit expensive, but I hope it will give me total satisfaction. With my DHO924S oscilloscope bought in February, I'll soon have the whole Rigol range in this compact mini format. I really enjoyed your video and note that the function generator operating system still takes a long time to load into memory. Let's hope this instrument doesn't bug like the DM858(E). I look forward to following your next videos on this instrument.
Hi Frank, very nice to see that we have the same thoughts. I had the idea about the Rigol DG for a while (despite the bugs in the DM858(E)) but was delaying the purchase of the DG822pro. I hope we can exchange some experience. I will make a video next week - (I am quite busy with my professional work this week) - but yesterday evening the closed box was on my desk, as a kind of surprise, I really needed to unbox it. I was a little excited..... so therefor the quick video.... We keep in touch !!
@@marcelmostert3081 Hello Marcel. We'll be in touch, of course. Take all the time you need for testing and for your next video. It takes a lot of time, and you might as well do it calmly and without hurrying. Your criteria for choosing this new Rigol model are exactly the same as mine. I really like the form factor of these devices, the touch screen and the shallow depth of the instrument. I look forward to exchanging experiences on this latest DDS generator. For the moment, my order is in preparation, in short, I have no delivery date for my new toy! Have a good week and discover the DG822 Pro.
Avoid elector in Europe. I bought a brymen off them once and it had issues and they wouldn't pay for the rma because dhl didn't have canada in their database but had Argentina. They were the rudest people I ever bought gear from. I fixed the dmm and it's my daily driver but they wouldn't even give me a coupon to retain me or anything. I have no luck buying from German companies, cars, test gear, knipex tools haha.
