--- Quote from: thm_w on June 28, 2023, 11:27:30 pm ---Anyone have a comparison based on speed, fastest multimeter to display a measurement within 5% of actual. Most feature rich high end meters are on the slow side. What can I grab when I want the fastest reading for repair/reverse engineering a board. Only would need: voltage, continuity, resistance, diode test, mayybe capacitance. Might have to use a slo-mo cam, in combination with Ian's continuity tester. --- End quote --- During troubleshooting and repair, I need a multimeter that can work at the speed of thought. What's the voltage here here and here, must be this part what's the voltage on it. About a reading a second as you go through a circuit. Waiting for clink clank clunk autoranging... no way- that takes too long, so it's manual range plus a multimeter with no cheap slow MCU or crap averaging algo. Video timing comparing from nothing to a level reading would be very interesting, to eliminate the subjective "oh it's fast" or "oh it's slow" that reviewers use with their assessments. AstroAI, never heard of the chinese "brand" but good to know they make snowbrushes, car sunshades but they should add a pantyhose line. I like the multimeter bot reviews 4.8 stars "Thanks was easy to use." "Ease of operation." "Easy to use." I wonder how much they spent on marketing, advertising at Amazon and Walmart to game the AI. |

That's one nice thing about having some standard way of testing them, you remove the bias. The meters do what they do. The down side, sponsor's like Keysight may not like seeing their products do so poorly on so many levels. --- End quote --- Exactly what I've been saying. I'll repeat for the 3rd or 4th time, to compare meters usefully in a shootout you need to limit them to some sort of feature/usage/price category. You do robustness, terrific, keep at it. Do you seriously think I give a shit what "sponsors" think? Really? I've ranted about every manufacturer in the business including showing all sorts of problems in my own products, I'm (in)famous for it. --- End quote --- I would have thought that you would care even less what non-sponsors like myself think, but because you have asked... I most certainly do believe you give a shit! I even believe that saying you don’t in such a manor appeals to some of the sponsors. In my case, I derive no income from anything I do on-line. There are no sponsors and no conflict of interest. That’s the difference of actually working in the industry. It affords me the luxury of being able to offer content for free. --- Quote from: EEVblog on June 27, 2023, 10:45:18 pm ---The problem with doing these shootouts is that they are ahuge amount of work, especially if you want to set up forms of automated testing etc, and I have a dozen other different types of videos that I make. I have limited time and varied interests. --- End quote --- I know. And the more detailed you make it, the more time sucking it is. Go figure. --- Quote from: Muttley Snickers on June 29, 2023, 04:45:53 am ---My time is valuable so I just Googled "What is the worst multimeter?" :-BROKE :o ::) --- End quote --- I get Dave’s video from 2019. Maybe he has a better choice now. https://www.eevblog.com/2019/08/18/eevblog-1238-vion-the-worlds-worst-multimeter/ |

Funny thread, there is no best meter and adding a year do not help. I have a couple of meters that are best, which one wins depends on what you want. In my opinion no cheap meter get anywhere close to a best, but then again if you ask for best hobby meter for the money a cheap meter will win every time. |

I've proven time and time again that I have the ability to rubbish even PAYING advertisers on my website and forum, let alone companies that just send me a free meter. I've been doing it for 13+ years now. No company has ever paid me to review a product, I have turned down hundreds, maybe even thousands of paid sponsor requests to do so over the last decade. Some of these requests are up to $5000 for ONE video. I turn them ALL down. I have a ton of stuff here given to me that I've done nothing with. I even had Tektronix send two top people over to Australia to hand deliver me the new Tek series 2 scope. Have I done a review video of it? Nope. You'd think I would have if I "gave a shit", right? R&S send me their new MXO scope, gee, what are all these videos of mine showing bugs and lose screws in it. Why would I do that if I "gave a shit" what they thought? My kids can't eat free multimeters. I've found a way to make a living making Youtube videos that doesn't compromise my ability to rubish a product if I think it's crap, and I don't appreciate people who say I can't when the evidence is demonstrably says I can. I know you've got something against me Joe, why I'm not entirely sure, but let it go. |
