That's a great comparison video and it does show a clear correlation to you get what you pay for. It's impressive for something 50+ years old. Current probes are pretty expensive though so my take away is I'm going to wait until I can afford/justify a quality tool. I had taken a look at the i-Prober 520 as well which can measure currents in PCB traces - still way over £500 though. Thanks for doing this video.
Andrew Johnson Thanks Andrew! It is crazy the cost of these probes. It’s too bad that more Chinese vendors are not making probes. I’ll keep my eyes open...
Hi Eddie, Great demonstration, showing the difference of not having the correct bandwidth equipment :) I hope you manage to fix the sliding button. Funny how things change, a new mobile phone compared to the first portable mobile phone ( boat anchor ) :) ATB Adam
Adam L I hope I can epoxy it - I may have to be creative;) But, it still works. I think the plastic might have weakened, or I just have a strong thumb;)
Dear Sir. can i use this Hantek CC-65 current probe to measure phase current of 12 or 24 voltage bldc motor, rated motor current about 6 amps on oscilloscope? thank you
Interesting, that's something I have always wondered about... Is a twenty year old top of the range unit better then a modern cheap noname unit today. The technology has really been better in the last 20 years! A small comment about your editing in this video, at 0:58 you chose to speed forward instead of a cut, it did look wrong, like a "jump scare":-) May I suggest to use a cut and then a fade between the images or just let it be, we are visiting your shop on a "sitting beside you" manner:-)
Fried Mule Yes, in some cases the old technology has not really been made less costly today, or at least the big name venders have not wanted to share in the cost savings. Not many probes require a separate amplifier, but the bandwidth is very impressive! That’s great feedback - thank you! I like the idea of uploading more full videos with minimal edits for the Patreons to watch if interested.
@@KissAnalog That would really be great! Am I right in thinking that you cut away a lot of small extra info, side stories and setups, that you judge as not strictly necessary for the video? You could maybe also make it possible to download a pdf copy of the paper you use in your videos?
You should look into LEM closed loop hall sensors, for about $30 from digikey you can get a dc-500khz current probe you can power from your scopes USB port.
Thats not really a good comparison. The hantek is maxed out at 20khz, would be great if you showed comparison examples from 60hz to 20khz of both of them.
Thanks fir the great input;) You are right about the Hantek operating out of its bandwidth, but it did pretty great for a low cost probe. My comparison showed how great the Hantek really is. But yes, I do need to show how much better it does in the bsndeiyh it is meant for. Thanks for reminding me;)
@@KissAnalog you do know a little bit about that now that you read my comment, and you could easily learn more if you wanted to make the effort, but apparently money is more important to you than democracy or even self-respect.

Liked,love ur videos
Thank you - I appreciate you! Let me know if there’s something about this video that you would like to have me add if I do a follow up;)
@@KissAnalog
U are amazing,keep posting good content,
Ashu Sharma I’m happy to have you on the team!
Very interesting thanks!!! Suscribed!!!
Fernando Lagomarsino Thanks for joining the team;) Let me know if there is something that you would like to see.
@@KissAnalog yes I would like to see how to use second order LC low pass filter and how to avoid ressonance. Thanks!!!
Ok thanks - that’s a great idea!
You should look into LEM closed loop hall sensors, for about $30 from digikey you can get a dc-500khz current probe you can power from your scopes USB port.
Thanks - that’s a great idea. I have actually been working on something, but I’ll check it out.
What is the meter with the fan on it? A power meter with a dummy load?
It is an inexpensive electronic load;). ua-cam.com/video/VI-O_-X5fos/v-deo.html

I didn't know James Hetfield was also into electronics.
LOL that’s perfect;)
you need more meters, you don't have enough meters
You are right! ;) wait for the review videos to come!
amazon fights democracy in a lot of ways... so... maybe don't promote them
I’m sorry I don’t know about that. Amazon supports my channel when people use their links, so I’m very grateful for that.
