Best handheld dmm, at any price?
bd139:
On the point of wireless/remote display, all the mid range and above Keysight meters, you can plug a bluetooth transmitter into the back of the opto port and get remote display. Also talks to iOS/Android
Neat product line really. Thermal camera I'd want separate anyway. Really the worst form factor for using one is a DMM.
I've reverse engineered their comms protocol as well so I can use their stuff with my own software.

Also the price is OK, my Metrix mtx3283 was more expensive, but I will exchange it in a heart beat for a DMM with a thermal camera and wireless.

In combination as dmm and thermal camera it is nice. Only looking on the dmm part it is not a good choice I think. Very slow (unusable) bargraph, laggy continuity, low resolution, uses a special LiIon battery instead of standard cells that is what I remember from the video.

I use Aneng 8009 that I bought recently from Banggood. My reasons are that it is cheap and full of features while being small size.

Indeed, while the thermal camera was a very appealing feature for that price, after watching the whole video, it does have some big inconveniences.
The showstopper for me was the battery life when logging, which is way too short for my needs. Also, the laggy continuity test is way too slow.
I don't want one any more.
