Part true minus the expensive alternative / cost bit

I actually do have the pico model I bought years ago before knowing they were on aliexpress, it is the same board, just a rebadge

The best current clamp I've seen for the money is micsig's CP2100A for about $200 and goes up to 800 KHz or CP2100B for about $400 and goes up to 2.5 MHz

These blow this design out of the water although it is still good for a dmm and single use / point testing and now is only $60 bucks or so

The micsig's only came out in the last 2 years or so while this design has been around for 5 years or so?

I've been using several CP2100B for multi phase power and they all work fantastic

Plus the unbelivable building quality of the micsigs.
I don´t know how they managed it, but you wouldn´t believe they´re so cheap when you don´t know their prices.
800khz and 2.5Mhz....Look around, at which price you normally do get this.
Unbelievable.

Looks very good if you need the frequency. That seems to be the only significant positive. (can work around zero offsets)
Noise level is about the same, 4x cost & needs external 5V.
I have seen reviews indicating some of the better clamps having 1/10 the noise levels of this?

How does it handle magnetic fields???
Does it self magnetise on high DC currents, if NOT then a BIG plus!

Oh & the Hantek design is ancient! Looks like based on clamps from the 80-90's just using more modern components.

Cheers,
John.
Elasia:
Martin could probly answer that, you can see the noise levels here

Noise no better than CC-65 from that $400 unit. Much better Freq! though, but for a bit $ more I would hope the noise would be a bit less!
