First picture on EEVblog of the new R&S MXO4 series oscilloscope :)

Domitronic:

I just saw the video and Daves enthusiasm about the probes. To me these probes look very much like the PML High-Z probe series from german company PMK:

However they are only available up to 500MHz from PMK. So not exactly the same i guess. But other data like the 1650V peak and 9.5pF is the same. And the look is pretty similar as well. Does somebody know if the R&S probes are made by PMK? This could also explain why the probes are labeled with made in Germany.

Looks indenital in every way, right down the split in the probe end and the arrow.
Manual is fully branded R&S but has identitcal pictures and other info to the PMK manual, so 100% sure made by PMK. Nice find.
Price?

Momchilo:
A lot of the passive Lecroy probes are also PMK probes. You can buy the linked 500MHz probe (PML 711A-RO) at Batronix for 327€ incl. VAT. It is the Lecroy PP008 probe.

mkissin:
Looking at it, I'm fairly sure the same is true of the keysight passive probes, like the N2894A.
Everybody rebrands the current probes too, I just don't think there's enough ability to differentiate product to make it worthwhile putting the R&D into them.

Yes, i know. And a few month back you could get the PML 711A-RO around 220 € incl VAT. Seems that they increased prices drastically. Luckily i bought them at the old price last year.
