So that's the genius of the VC8145's mechanical design: Lots of space to add weight :D

It's a good place to hide gold ingots. Nobody would ever think of looking there.

So far we have discussed units from Owon, Uni-t and Vici where the ones from Owon don't receive much love. Are there any other contenders in the -say- $150 segment? I'm up for buying another (cheap) bench DMM but I'm wondering if something else came onto the market that rivals the VC8145? The rotary knob on the Uni-t models doesn't appeal to me so those are out.
Martin72:
Maybe this is something for you:
ET3240

I had positive experiences with their LCR meter, maybe the same applies to their DMM.

:-+ Interesting but continuity is too slow for my taste:

When I test continiuty between two points (call them A and B) I actually make 3 measurements: A-A, A-B and B-B to make sure the probes are actually making contact. So fast (instant) continiuty is something I rate as extremely important.
Martin72:
Hm..
The used probes could make a difference too, the fastest results I got with the gold plated probemasters.
But out of genuine curiosity, I'll ask:
Why does it have to be "super fast" ?
It is just a simple test procedure to see if there is a low impedance connection.
In addition, I e.g. always test connections with the "eye", not with the buzzer.
Because the vast majority of meters beep below a certain resistance value and that is not zero ohm.
This is for me a source of error, so I look at the display, whether it is really "zero" ohm and that eats time.
Therefore, the speed is not completely indifferent to me, but secondary.
