Is this an LCR meter:

I do not know for sure but it looks like cheap transistor/component tester
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=transistor+tester&_sacat=0
This looks like way too expensive. If you look lcr-meter look DE-5000. If you look component tester there are many threads in this forum.

Velleman product page:
https://www.velleman.eu/products/view/?id=435470
A
steal
at more than double CPC's price:
https://cpc.farnell.com/velleman-sa/k8115/component-tester-kit/dp/MK00592
Its certainly got basic LCR meter functionality, but is likely to be very limited compared to a modern digital LCR meter. It does do ESR, I don't know about ESL or Q. Compare its specs with the DE-5000 just mentioned:
https://www.ietlabs.com/pdf/Datasheets/DE_5000.pdf
OTOH if you *NEED* the semiconductor checking capabilities and you don't buy it from a rip-off Ebay scammer it may be worth it.
N.B. If you have a Velleman HPS140MK2 handheld scope, it may be worth considering the HPS141 component tester accessory:
https://www.velleman.eu/products/view/?id=435690
which, (according to a Velleman staffer) shares the same base firmware and specs as the K8115. Its about 30% cheaper, fully assembled and also available from CPC:
https://cpc.farnell.com/velleman-instruments/hps141/component-tester/dp/IN07745
N.B. the HPS141 *ONLY* works with the HPS140MK2.

Well… If you need just an LCR-meter: Chinese XJW01
cost $65 on Aliexpress
(Assembled variant. DIY kit without case costs half as much).
P.S.
Discussion on forum
.
DIY kit version review with photos of assembly and soldering order
(in Russian).
