nope Dave said it wont have this option
if i recall something wasn't working properly ??
I am curious if this meter will have any PC link/datalogging capabilities. Based on the manual and PCB pictures, I'm guessing that it will not.
It was supposed to have a Bluetooth model option, but there is now no ETA on that. It has an internal connector for it, but the proto I had did not have any activity on the pins. Haven't checked the final model yet.
Can we expect it to be available in Europe? Looking for a new multimeter, but buying it from outside Europe is going to cost alot on customs.

Sparky Labs and Welectron will carry it.
Perfect, can't wait to get one. Cheers.
How can we buy the BM786 in Canada? Will it be on amazon.ca?

Eventually, yes. Will be on my website first though, still waiting for ETA. End of October promised has come and gone.
Have you emailed them about the bill for your first order yet?
What's the Brymen top high-end DMM now? BM869s (2011) or BM789 (2020)?

What do you mean? For electrician that works on 3 phase systems, one with measurements for that would be top.
If you mean best DC specs and longest scale, than BM869S and BM859S are best still...
You must study datasheets closely, for some ranges BM859S is slightly better than BM869S...
Also, ask yourself how old is Fluke 87 or 287....
BM869S is a few years old version of BM869 (without S)...
It's a multimeter, nothing new there, electrons didn't change lately...

The BM869s.
500,000 counts in a dual display, CAT IV
1000V meter. What more could you ask for in a handheld?
PS: The 's' version indicates an upgrade over the original.

Depends on your needs. Basic stuff like AutoHold maybe? BeepLit continuity? EF tester? All standard on the new BM780 series.
Smaller and lighter perhaps?
For almost all people, the difference between CAT IV 1000V and CAT IV 600V spec is negligible.

The lower cost BM786 beats the BM869 on Dc current spec BTW.
I like options like AutoHold, BeepLit continuity, V LoZ, V higher diode. Although I can live without them. I am more concerned about its reliability and that its problems are solved. This model had problems with auto-range, had problems with voltage when raising the frequency and also when measuring voltage in square wave when its frequency was varied. I don't know if all this has been solved today.
Update: The Nov 15th shipping date has slipped with no new ETA, they are still working on issues.

Given their meters are typically not field updatable, this is A Good Thing.
Has youth problems. But when it matures and they fix their problems ... if they get the reliability of a BM869, the 7-series will be a great meter.

I would wait year at least , if no desperate need.
