Thank you Sir for opening it up in the end.. i ordered one myself and already know now how its glued together hahaha.. great rundown of the unit.. i appreciate it.. happy holidays ;-)
Great video as always. I ordered the advanced version just to check sine wave forms from some of my vintage Pioneer and Marantz receivers. The ability to check the different components is the worth the price.I always enjoy your videos!
When I get back in the shop next week I am going to take a vcr and misaligned it and then see how these scopes handle the alignment of things like tape path. I already know they suck at viewing composite video but other signals may be better. Will find out next week.
thanks for the review it is interesting how electronics tool and test equipment are changing offering capabilities that would have taken up an entire shelf just a few years ago that now can be held in one hand. as you pointed out they are not equal to the very expensive dedicated equipment but for a lot of tasks those types of equipment with those capabilities are not needed any way besides needing a bunch of other stuff that is also complicated and expensive. these combo devices will do the job of tracing signals and signal injecting and some trouble shooting OK
Exactly. For audio service these do the job. Not everyone needs a high end scope. An old analog scope is all I need for what I work on. I don't do digital stuff and never will.
Hello, I have the same and I connected it to source on my reel to reel to reel pioneer rt 707 as a frequency generator, I set it to 1khz but it does not appear on the pioneer. why?
Thanks. Aside from the inferior battery and lack of calibration port on this unit, how does it compare, overall, with the BSIDE 09 DMM/Oscilloscope that you just reviewed?
I have one of these and I can't recommend it at any price, If you are after an inexpensive multimeter/oscilloscope, spend an extra £10 and buy a Zoyi 703s.
The Bside looks to be better in this type of device. I am going to put them head to head next week. Of course none of these will compare to even the oldest analog scope in terms of looking at complex waveform. My HP101 from 1961 will blow the doors off and of these for looking at composite video and CD eye patterns, which is exactly what I plan to look at next week.
Cheap and cheerful, but for serious use i would rather pay a bit more and get a decent used 100mhz scope. for not that much more outlay. Ok for hobbyist use on audio gear but clearly not intended for servicing video gear.

Bside has more features. I am going to do a video and see how they compare to align the tape path on vcr next week
@@12voltvids Thanks
Can this unit be calibrated with using only the unit itself for oscilloscope? And can it be calibrated for multimeter using a bench power supply?
Yes
I have one of these and I can't recommend it at any price, If you are after an inexpensive multimeter/oscilloscope, spend an extra £10 and buy a Zoyi 703s.
Thanks for the tip, the Zoyi seems a better buy and is on offer until tomorrow.

Questi strumenti non reggono il confronto con un buon tektronic analogico.Per me sono pura spazzatura .
And just how much is an old tek? 50 bucks? Not!
These are for hobbieists not professionals.
