Big companies are also interested in value for money and do buy "low rent" brands. Oddly enough there are situations where a small shop is better of with just a higher end item (if they absolutely need some higher end capability, the rest is already "free") as there may not be demand for simultaneous use, where as a big company is more likely to have a diverse fleet of equipment that can be allocated/used as needed across the simultaneous tasks.

A little more and we have the same situation as in Hollywood no? People freelancing are only taken seriously if they are using RED or ARRI. If you are using for example an also capable but less expensive brand as the Z Cam you are not taken as a professional.

Tek went downhill when they were bought out by Danaher. Same is happening to Fluke, they haven't really done or made anything "new" since they were acquired by those scumbags. I'd take it a bit further and say that anything Danaher/Fortive touches turns to crap:

* Leica's microscopy division
* Weller
* Pantone/X-Rite (yes, that was also them)
* ...
Basically, fuck Danaher/Fortive/Apex. And that's without getting into discussing Tek's software development practices.

Had to look Fortive up. All I can see is that their website is full of undiluted corporate bullshit. Using all the usual hollow but crowd-pleasing phrases: “Making the world stronger, safer and smarter.” “Though we’re spread around the globe, we’re united by a powerful continuous improvement mindset.”

There were many more “gems” like these, but I felt that I would barf my lunch if I continued reading.

You ain't getting something like a Uni-T over the threshold of a large company, the reality is that you usually have an entire department dedicated to purchasing things and it's not uncommon they actually have a safety checklist for lab equipment.

SiliconWizard:
Yes, but I don't get the whole point anyway. It's not aimed at large companies. The cost of a scope is a concern for hobbyists and maybe very small companies. Otherwise it's an insignificant investment in all expenses that have to be made.
Why would you care about saving a few hundred bucks on some gear when the time spent by people to look for cheaper alternatives (with possibly problems looming after purchase) will cost maybe ten times that? It just makes no sense.
One can't reason for a company as we would as an individual.
